■ Comment from Rihito Yamamoto
“This time, I will transfer to Gamba Osaka.
I am very sorry to leave the team at this time when I can still hope for promotion.
I had the most worries and thoughts in my soccer life so far.
What I always wondered about was kicking the ball while laughing with my friends for hours after practicing since I was in the academy.
I love Verdy. That’s why it’s so hard to leave.
However, I came to this decision with a strong desire to challenge for my dreams because of my goals.
Having been poor since my first year as a professional, I have grown to this point with all the club staff, players, and fans and supporters who have always been warmly watching over me. Thanks. I cannot thank you enough.
I would like to thank the club for listening to my selfishness to the end.
“Enjoy soccer and never forget playfulness” I have been taught all of my soccer here at “Verdy”.
I would like to keep in mind that strength and continue my soccer life in the future.
Thank you very much for about 12 years. “
