■Comment from Player Suzuki:
"I am returning to Kashima Antlers. To be honest, at this stage of the summer, I wasn't able to get closer to my goal of taking the next step in my career, and at the same time, I always wanted to play for Antlers while I was still in my prime physically. I was always thinking about Antlers even after moving to Belgium, and I've seen that the results haven't been good recently. I've come back to make everyone involved with Antlers smile and to lead this club to victory. I'm so excited to think that I'll be able to stand on the pitch at Kashima Stadium again. I'll do my best to win the title, so please support me."
