He is the sixth Japanese player in the club’s history, following Takahara Naoyasu, Inamoto Junichi, Inui Takashi (now Shimizu S-Pulse), Hasebe Makoto and Kamata Daichi (now Crystal Palace). Doan, who has been announced to join, appeared in an official interview with the club. “The best,” the Japanese national team number 10 said, “I’m so excited and I’m very happy.” He continued, “Actually, a few months ago, I had told my agent that I wanted to go to Frankfurt. Negotiations between the club took a while, but of course I understand each other’s positions,” and revealed the background to his decision, “It was a huge factor in how much Frankfurt needed me, and how we were able to talk to the manager. I also felt the passion from the club.” Regarding his goals for the new season, he said, “I want to accomplish something special with the team. I think last season was a rewarding year for Frankfurt and the supporters. I am particularly pleased to be qualified for the Champions League,” but also expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’ve come here to further develop this team. I will do my best to score goals and assists for the team. That’s my role.” Frankfurt sports director Marx Crochet commented, “Ritz Douan has proven high quality in the Bundesliga for the past few years and has demonstrated the skills to help us achieve our goals. He has extensive international experience as a Japanese national team player and has made a strong presence in Freiburg in terms of skill, speed and mentality. I am pleased to see Ritz with us now.” He was hoping for him to lead the club to even greater heights. Manager Moriyasu raised his expectations, saying, “I think he transferred to the team with the aim of becoming even higher, and the team has received a high rating, so I think he will be transferred, so I think it will be an environment where he will put an enormous pressure on him. But I hope he will take the plunge and take the challenge in order to grow.” https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/809f2705e91bb82d3fd57eebdfb652365a6ccb31 VOICEVOX: Aoyama Ryusei’s channel https://youtube.com/@DOAN_RITSU?si=E2EG2dRHcFqRzNwT He has decided to join the FW Burcult, who broke out in Mainz last year, but I’m worried because the holes Marmuche and Ekitique have left behind are very large. Doan may need another break. I’m a player who likes to behave on and off the pitch, so I hope he’ll go wild in the Champions League.
