"I never thought I would receive such a wonderful award, so I'm very surprised. I'm truly happy to be part of the Best XI this season on the J.LEAGUE stage, which I've admired since I was a child. I believe this award is more thanks to the great support from those around me than something I achieved on my own, so I want to thank everyone who supported me. Next season, I will strive to lead the team and contribute to winning the titles the club desires."
