"I believe it is very important to act as a J.League Global Ambassador from now on. I spent 15 years in Japan, both as a player and as a coach. Also, I returned to Antlers last year. Now, DAZN has entered Brazil, and J.League matches can be watched. I have always been in contact with many Brazilian players who used to be in the J.League. And I always talk about the J.League with them. This time, Mr. Buchwald and I have been given such a role, so I would like to work hard together. I am associated with Antlers, and Mr. Buchwald with Urawa, and both clubs are active in the ACL, so I am really looking forward to it. The J.League is important to me. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thank you."
