Players' Comment
MOREIRA Ozu (Fusion)
I’m truly honoured to be chosen as one of the five best players of the year. I’m grateful to the coach of the national team, my teammates, and the staff for supporting me. I’d like to make even greater effort not only to improve myself, but also to contribute in raising the level of the team. I’ll do my best, aiming to win the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup (the AFC Beach Soccer Championship) and the World Cup next year.
