Comment from Machida:
"I will be transferring permanently to Royal Union Saint-Gilloise. Since moving to Europe last year, I have experienced both highs and lows, including competing for the championship, a major injury, and being selected for the Japan national team. Each time, I realized that I was supported and helped by my teammates, staff, and supporters with whom I fought at Antlers. I am truly grateful. My foundation as a person and as a footballer was built at Antlers. I will continue to express that on the pitch, and there will be no change in my commitment to fight with the Antlers name on my back. I myself was part of the youth organization for nine years, admired Antlers players, and grew up in the system. I hope to continue to grow day by day so that I can become a player who can be a goal for Antlers' youth development. Thank you!"
