Head Coach Myojin: "It was a very disappointing defeat. Even with one less player, the players kept running and fighting until the very end, aiming for a tie and then a winning goal. They also created chances, and I am very pleased with the players' spirit and their never-give-up attitude. We had somewhat anticipated that the game would turn out like this, but there were parts where the game remained open for too long. I think we need to be able to control the game a little more. I myself need to seriously reflect on the fact that we were unable to obtain the three points we were aiming for. We will use today's game as a stepping stone and prepare thoroughly for the next match."

Q: "Even with only 10 players, their fighting spirit was very evident. What did the Head Coach say to the players in that situation?"
Head Coach Myojin: "We were one goal behind, so our first thought was to equalize. I rearranged the formation of our 10 players, putting us in a two-striker formation. The defenders had to defend one-on-one or two-on-one situations, but we focused on getting the ball into the penalty area. They actually created some chances, and I think the players fought without giving up until the very end."

Q: "The game started with both teams scoring, but then Nagoya took control and you were under pressure for longer periods. What adjustments did you make at halftime?"
Head Coach Myojin: "They kicked long balls diagonally, creating situations where our fullbacks were one-on-one. So we focused on keeping the whole team compact and preparing to respond by sliding properly to diagonal balls. I think we were able to reduce those situations in the second half."

Q: "In the first half, it felt like the game was open and dynamic, with both teams moving the ball around and connecting passes. In the second half, you were able to create a more dynamic game. What are your thoughts on that?"
Head Coach Myojin: "In the second half, we were determined to target the opponent's backs, so both the passer and receiver were conscious of aiming for the backs. However, there were times when we couldn't get behind them effectively, or when we were able to get behind them even when we were entering at a good time, so I think there were parts that didn't go well."
