During the Q&A session with the U-3 and U-4 students, when asked, "What is the difference between the J.League and overseas leagues?", he answered, "The biggest difference between the J.League and overseas leagues is definitely the physical aspect!" This was a unique response from Nagatomo, who has experience playing in the Japan national team as well as in the leagues of Italy, Turkey, and France.

From the U-5 and U-6 students,
when asked, "Among the players you have competed against, who do you think is the most amazing?", he answered, "Kylian Mbappé, the current French national team player, is incredibly fast!"

Also, in response to the question, "What do you watch for when defending one-on-one?", he demonstrated defense in practice and advised the school students, "Watch the ball carefully, and at the timing when the opponent is away, go to steal the ball!"

To the school students, Nagatomo consistently conveyed, "Above all, practice a lot!" The students took those words to heart and will surely work hard in their future training.

Afterwards, Nagatomo carefully signed FC Tokyo goods prepared by the students, uniforms from his time in Italy, and Japan national team uniforms one by one. Although nervous, the students sincerely expressed their gratitude while looking him in the eyes!

When the school students gave their thank-you greetings to Nagatomo, he asked them to greet him with a loud, energetic voice! The students then greeted him with a louder voice than anyone had ever heard before.

And finally, the school visit ended with high-fives between Nagatomo and the students.

At FC Tokyo School, we hope to continue fostering the growth of children through events that can only be held because it is FC Tokyo.
