■ Comment:
“To everyone who loves Omiya Ardija, thank you for always supporting the team with your passionate support, powerful words of encouragement, and tremendous support. The heartbeat and exhilaration of 20 years ago have been revived.In order to achieve results for the team, we continued to fight with the help and support of professional players, staff, and many people, but it was a very frustrating two seasons. It was a valuable experience to be involved in the top team, but I am very sorry that I was not able to achieve results due to my lack of strength.This season, as the academy’s physical coach, I will work hard for Omiya Ardija. I will do my best to nurture players who can compete in the future.Please continue to support us.Thank you for the past year and a half.”
