□Player Kazunori YOSHIMOTO's comment
"I was unable to achieve the goal of promotion in the 2018 season, and I couldn't be satisfied with leaving nothing behind, so I decided to play for Avispa Fukuoka for another year. Although I am away from the team, I sincerely support Tokyo, which has raised me to this point, and I believe that Tokyo can win the league. I am also continuing my activities as the tourism ambassador for Kodaira City, so let's liven up Kodaira City together, which has a ground!"
I will do my best to achieve good results with Avispa Fukuoka and deliver success to everyone in Tokyo.
