□Player Diego OLIVEIRA's Comment
"I have decided to retire at the end of this season. This decision was made after much thought and hesitation.
The club also tried to persuade me and offered to fight together next season.
But after thinking about it myselfand discussing with my family, I decided that this was the right decision.I am grateful for the warm reception and respect I have received from everyone, no matter what the situation. I came to Japan, played for Kashiwa Reysol, and came to Tokyo. I am truly grateful to everyone who has taken care of me. I am grateful for the respect and support I have received from everyone, no matter what the situation.
Thank you very much to all the team members, coaches, players, staff, and fans and supporters. I have learned and grown a lot thanks to everyone. Unfortunately, I will retire, but I am very happy to be able to retire at this beloved club. It is an unforgettable experience in my life, and I consider it a team.
There are still two games left. Although it will be a short time, I will do my best to play without regrets, and I will do my best to convey joy and energy to the fans and supporters in these two games. Thank you for your continued support."
