◇Masato MORISHIGE Player Comment

Last year, we actually visited the hospital and everyone's smiles were impressive. I wanted to visit the hospital again this year, but now that we can't visit, it was a new discovery and I was happy that we were able to do it using a video conference system.
I felt that I was able to communicate more smoothly than I thought by conducting remote visits this time. If the timing is right, I felt that it might be possible to increase the frequency.
I would like to continue these activities.

◇Kensuke NAGAI Player Comment

I want to continue this kind of activity in the future. And I genuinely thought that I want to show more and more of my efforts on the pitch.
I hope to have more opportunities to interact with children through this activity. I also hope to continue visiting hospitals in the future.

◇Kashif BANGNAGANDE Player Comments

Last year, I watched on TV as the Tokyo players visited, and this year I realized once again that I became a professional soccer player as I will be participating myself.
I think it's really tough that my younger brother, who is close to my age, is playing outside and I can't do that. I also want to work harder in order to give energy to those children through my play.

Thank you very much to all the hospital staff who supported this activity.
