Comment from Player Shoji

"Over the past year since returning to Antlers, I have been grappling with the frustration and impatience of not being able to contribute to the team through my play, while also confronting what I, as someone familiar with the Antlers' traditions, should do. Including that time, I believe I have learned everything about being a professional footballer at Antlers and have grown to this point. However, considering my age and future career, my desire to play, contribute to victories, and enjoy football has grown stronger day by day, leading to my decision to transfer. At Antlers, I experienced the joy of winning numerous championships, but I also endured many disappointments from missing out on titles. Throughout that process, the supporters were always there. Even after leaving Antlers, it will remain a special club to me. To everyone involved with Antlers, thank you very much for these nine years."
