■ Comment from Diego OLIVEIRA
"I have decided to retire at the end of this season.
This decision was very difficult, as I thought about it many times and felt uncertain.
The club alsoasked me to stay, inviting me to fight together next season. However, after considering it myself and discussing it with my family, I feel this decision was the right one for me.
I came to Japan and had the opportunity to play for Kashiwa Reysol, then moved to Tokyo. I am truly grateful to so many people.
Everyone has always treated me warmly and with respect at all times, and I am very thankful for that.
To all team members, coaches, players, staff, and fans and supporters, thank you very much.
I have learned and grown a lot thanks to all of you. It is because of you.
Although I will retire, I feel very happy to be able to retire at this beloved club.
This team and experience will be unforgettable in my life.
There are still two matches left. Although the time is short, I want to give my best in the games without regrets, and I will do my best to bring a lot of joy and energy to the fans and supporters in these two matches, so please continue to support me."
