It is reported that he has been given notice that he will be released on the transfer market. At the press conference on the 22nd, Sakai started by saying, “I can speak a little French, but…” and said, “I think I’ve improved a lot, but it’s still not good enough for a press conference. I’m responsible for asking questions. If it’s friends and people around me, it’s fine, but I have a professional relationship with everyone,” said Sakai. He then switched to Japanese and commented through an interpreter. “I think it’s true that the president and the coach are saying (that you should learn French), and I think that I have to learn what I need to learn as long as I work here. However, I don’t speak French. Even when I can’t speak, I’m still fighting with everything I have, and I’ve never changed because I can’t speak,” commented Sakai.
