On January 13th, the FUJI XEROX SUPER CUP 2017 press conference was held at JFA House. Player Ito and Urawa Reds player Wataru Endo attended the conference.
Player Ito: "Last year, Urawa was first in total points, so we must respect that. However, by rules, we are the league champions and also won the Emperor's Cup, so we believe we must win this tournament. Also, having won two titles last season, we, Kashima Antlers, want to win every title this season. Therefore, I believe this first tournament will be an important match that will determine the fate of the season, so I want to put my heart and soul into winning it."
