Atsuki Ito Comments
I have been nominated as captain and I made the decision without hesitation, thinking about the club and my own growth.

I joined Urawa Reds as a professional and have felt the responsibility of fighting with this emblem on my back every day. As captain, I will fight with more responsibility and determination than ever before.

No one is satisfied with our current ranking.
I will concentrate on each and every game in front of me, and I will work my way up the standings one by one.

Finally, to our fans and supporters, thank you for your constant and enthusiastic support. I am grateful for your support.
Please continue to fight with us.
