■Comment from Player Suzuki:
"I have decided to transfer to Sint-Truiden VV. Although it's a transfer in the middle of the season, considering my age, I felt this might be my last chance, so I decided to take on the challenge. For the past few years, my desire to play overseas and my desire to play for Kashima were intertwined. There were times when I wondered what I was doing, seeing players of my generation succeeding overseas. But now, I can clearly say that I'm glad I continued with Kashima until today. Thanks to everyone who supported me, I was able to grow both as a person and as a player. I will definitely go to Europe and show everyone a more evolved version of myself! Finally, this club is special to me; it's my home. No matter where I am, this club will always remain in my heart. Thank you for 17 years, ever since I was in elementary school. I'm off!"
