□Yuto NAGATOMO Player Comment
"I am honored to be selected for the Japan national team again, following the previous time."
I will continue to fight to be able to contribute on the pitch, not just because I was selected for the Japan national team.
Now, in Tokyo, we are in a tough position battle and we are able to have a good relationship with our rivals and strive together. In the midst of this competition, we have maintained a high level of motivation and performance in order to surpass our teammates.
First and foremost, we will focus on winning the J-League match in front of us, and use that as a stepping stone for our activities with the Japan national team.
Please continue to support both the league games and the Japan national team. Thank you.
