On the pitch, I will strive to play fair and always respect my opponents.
Also, I want to maximize my abilities no matter what the environment.
In terms of off the pitch, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of Thai culture and learn a little more about Thailand.
I would also like to bring back what I have learned through my travels to Japan and share it with many people.

Last year's team won, so we're going to win this time too, and we're going to be aggressive on both offense and defense.
I would like to do that.
My goal is to become MVP and score at least one goal per game.
At Of The Pitch, I would like to learn more about Thai culture and cuisine, and be able to communicate with Thai people and learn a lot from them.

As a team, we want to win.
Personally, I want to become a player who is trusted by my teammates and can lead the team to victory.
Off the pitch, I would like to learn more about the cultures of countries other than Japan.
When it comes to food, I want to eat Thai food without being picky about it, and be grateful for the food.
