□Takuji YONEMOTO Comment

I have decided to transfer completely to Nagoya Grampus. It has been 10 years since I joined in Tokyo right after high school. I think there were more tough times, having suffered three major injuries, but thanks to the support of the fans, supporters, teammates, and staff, I was able to spend these 10 years.
It was truly a difficult decision, one that I struggled with. I really love this team and sincerely wish for the success of this club. I will challenge myself once more and believe in my potential as I transfer, so I will do my best to be seen as a "disliked player" by everyone in Tokyo.
I cannot express the feelings I've had over the past 10 years in words. I am filled with gratitude that cannot be conveyed in this message alone. Although I will be part of a different team from now on, I would be happy to receive your support. Thank you so much for everything over the past 10 years.
