[Atsuki Ito]
“I am proud and honored to have been selected to represent Japan once again.
I received a lot of inspiration during my last national team activities, so I would like to take on the challenge again this time and come back having grown.
And today we have a game against ACL Hanoi FC, so we will definitely win at home.
Also, during my national team activities, there will be a semi-final of the Levain Cup, and I believe in my teammates and pray that they will advance to the final.
I will do my best with the responsibility and pride of Urawa!”
