◇ Comment
“This time, I have completely transferred to Suwon Samsung Bluewings in South Korea. It was a short period of one and a half years, but I am indebted to you.
It was difficult to contribute to the team and I would leave, but I always tried my best in the days I spent at Nagoya Grampus.
It was a great experience to share the joy of winning with the Grampus family at last year’s Levin Cup.
Thinking about my future soccer life, I came up with this decision.
I would like to thank all the clubs and people involved for understanding the challenges ahead, and I will continue to do my utmost to continue my soccer life. I’ll do my best to meet you next time at ACL. “
