□Leon NOZAWA Player Comment
"First of all, thank you very much for always supporting us with passionate cheers in every match."
I have decided to transfer to Matsumoto Yamaga F.C. on a developmental loan.
During the past six months, I have had various experiences and have been given many opportunities. However, I have not been able to meet the expectations of the fans and supporters by producing results, and I have felt my own lack of ability.
As a player who fights for the club, as a single blue and red warrior, I have come to this decision because I believe that I cannot contribute to the team's victory and the future of Tokyo as it is.
The cheers I received when playing with the emblem at Ajinomoto Stadium still burn passionately in my heart.
I want to build on it from scratch and make it even bigger, and respond with results.
I will come back as a striker with a smile, having grown one or two sizes.
I am truly grateful for the warm welcome back, even though it was a short time.
We will continue to do our best so that we can come back with pride. Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you very much. And here I go!"
