Naoki’s comment for Urawa Red Diamonds
"I have decided to make a permanent transfer to Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
To be honest, I was fully prepared to wear the number 30 this season. However, I also can’t deny that, in the end, I betrayed that feeling. As a player, I found myself in a difficult position, and that was the biggest reason behind my decision.Wearing the emblem I’ve admired since childhood for the past year has been a truly special experience. I’m grateful for the time I’ve spent here, and I believe I’ve grown a lot as a player.I look forward to continuing my development on the pitch and taking on new challenges.It was a short time, but thank you for everything.”
