"Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for waiting in this rain to hear us speak. And to all the players, thank you so much for creating an environment where it was easy for us to talk.
I am very proud that we were able to win the title that we really wanted together here. I will be changing teams from now on, but I will definitely come back here to play again, this time as an opposing player, and hear all your loud boos. Thank you for the past three years."
[Alexander Scholz]
"(All in Japanese) Good evening everyone. Three years, 135 games, 21 goals. There were wins and losses. No matter how hard I try, I can't express these deep, complicated feelings. I thought I'd be here forever. But three years ago, I came here with a smile. I want to leave here today with a smile as well. Thank you isn't enough. I'll never forget this moment. We are REDS!"
