◇Comment
“It’s been a long time. I’m Ryuji Izumi, who has just transferred from Kashima Antlers.
Three years ago, I decided to leave Nagoya and moved to Kashima, but I was not able to win a title and was not able to achieve satisfactory results. In the meantime, I was happy to receive another offer, but on the other hand, I was very worried regarding returning to Nagoya even though I was not getting any results.
However, Grampus is a special club for me. I want to fight for this club, deliver many victories to everyone in the Grampus family, and win the title and be happy together. That idea hasn’t changed.
I am happy to be able to play in front of you once more. I will do everything in my power to win the title. Let’s fight with the Grampus family.
Thank you once more. ”
