□ Keita YAMASHITA's Comment
"To everyone involved with FC Tokyo.
Thank you for these past four years. Due to the expiration of my contract, I will be leaving the team.
The time I spent at FC Tokyo was so profound that it cannot be easily expressed in words, and it held great significance in my life. Especially during the period when I couldn’t step onto the pitch due to injury, I had a lot of time to reflect on myself, which became an opportunity to grow stronger both as a soccer player and as a person. I am filled with gratitude toward the trainers and doctors who supported my return, my teammates who continuously stood by me, and the fans and supporters who never stopped cheering for me.
There were times when things went smoothly, and times when I felt crushed by frustration because things didn’t go as I hoped, but all of those experiences helped me grow and shaped who I am today. I will use this experience as the driving force to succeed on the next stage.
I believe I can still fight and grow. I believe I can become even stronger. I will keep expecting more from myself and continue to do my best! Thank you very much for everything up until now.
