Comment from Yuya Osako
I am proud that I was able to extend my term honestly, and at the same time I have a strong responsibility.
Although we were able to win last year, I don’t think any of the players or staff members are satisfied yet.
I think we are in a position where we have to continue to show an even stronger Vissel Kobe, and I personally want to continue to work hard and grow every day.
We appreciate your continued support and support.
