Domestic CompetitionsComment from Hidenori Sugai
"I have decided to transfer to Kyoto Sanga F.C. I have received and learned so much from Kashima Antlers. I still vividly remember the huge cheers that made the entire stadium shake when I first played at Kashima Stadium. To all of you who lose your voices cheering for the players no matter the day or how far away, who dye the stadium red, and give us passionate support, and to all of you who visit the training ground and speak to us no matter the situation, I am so grateful for the help I've received from so many Antlers family members. However, I am truly sorry that I could not win a title or contribute to the team, and I apologize to the fans, supporters, and my teammates. I am leaving the team after having received so much, but I will make the most of what I have learned and continue to give my all to give something back to you all. It was truly wonderful to play for such a great team as Kashima Antlers. I look forward to competing against you all in the future, and I hope to see you all again somewhere. Thank you very much."
