□Player Akihiro HAYASHI's comment
"I have decided to leave the team after this season."
First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the fans and supporters for the past two years until today.
I have been with FC Tokyo for a long period of 6 years. Especially in the past 2 years, even though I felt that I had no value as a soccer player, I received a lot of encouraging comments and caring comments from many fans and supporters, and they really helped me.
I am extremely grateful beyond words. That is my feeling for the past two years.
At the same time, I have always wanted to express my gratitude to those who have supported me and to leave behind the results of that gratitude. I have always wanted to be able to show that I am prepared to come back to the pitch and do my best.
There were parts where it was difficult to return to the pitch in Tokyo, but the feeling of not being able to be involved in the game is my vitality and always having the spirit of overcoming adversity, it's like living in this professional world, so I still think that spirit is not gone and I want to make a comeback to the memory of having Lin in the team called FC Tokyo by challenging in a new environment.
The only regret is still coming to FC Tokyo and winning the league championship, that was the goal and the ongoing challenge that I set for myself, so it is regrettable to leave this team without achieving it. However, I hope to have another opportunity in my remaining soccer career and be able to achieve success with any team, with a feeling of gratitude. Let's meet again. Thank you very much."
