□Diego OLIVEIRA's Comment
「I have decided to retire at the end of this season.
This decision was, something I thought about many times, and it was very difficult with a lot of hesitation.
The club alsotried to persuade me to stay and encouraged me to fight together next season.However, I thought about it myself and after discussing various things with my family, I feel that this decision was the right one for me.
Coming to Japan and playing for Kashiwa Reysol, I came to Tokyo. I have truly received a lot of support from everyone.
Everyone has always treated me warmly, and I am grateful for the respect you have shown me at all times. Thank you very much.
To all the team staff, coaches, players, staff, and fans/supporters, thank you very much.
The various things I have learned and the growth I have experienced are all thanks to you. .
Unfortunately, I will retire, but I think it is a very happy thing for me to be able to retire at this beloved club.
It has been an unforgettable experience in my life, and I consider it a team.
There are still 2 matches left. Although it will be a short time, I want to approach the matches with no regrets, and I will do my best to convey a lot of joy and energy to the fans/supporters in these 2 matches, so I appreciate your continued support.」
