Comment from Naoki Sutoh

"I have decided to go on loan to Kochi United SC. Since joining, I haven't been able to contribute much to the team, and I've had many frustrating days. I am full of gratitude and apologies to the fans who continued to have faith in me. I truly love the passionate and warm environment surrounding Kashima Antlers. Even when I was down, many people in Kashima would tell me, 'Keep trying. We're rooting for you,' and those words saved me countless times. It's very sad to leave such a wonderful Kashima, but I started to feel a bit too comfortable and wondered if I was taking the environment for granted. So, I decided to change my environment and make a fresh start. I will fight hard in Kochi so that my performance is recognized and people will think, 'Sutoh has become a great player.' And I sincerely wish for the Antlers to win the title."
