Head Coach Myojin: "First of all, with the league season resuming, it's very frustrating that we lost 0-2 in this important match that will help us move up the ranks, and that we couldn't get three points. The players tried to get close to the opponent's goal no matter the situation, but it didn't translate into a result, and I'm reflecting on that very much. I think we had a good start and were able to create our own time, and I don't think the opponent had that many chances until midway through the game. There were a few moments where they came close to scoring from a ball played behind us due to a small mistake, but I think the first half was a very evenly contested match. In that context, it's very frustrating that we conceded the opening goal from a throw-in during added time just before the end of the first half, and it shows that even though we had players on our side, we still have weaknesses that allow us to concede goals like that. In the second half, we wanted to take control of the game, but it felt like the opponent took control of the flow of the game, including the goal we conceded from a set piece."

Q&"During the break, you attempted to make adjustments through cup matches and other means. Please describe the challenges and successes regarding the areas where you conceded multiple goals defensively."
Head Coach Myojin: "Firstly, regarding defense, in the J.LEAGUE YBC Levain CUP, there were many situations where we lost possession of the ball, or immediately lost it again after winning it back, putting us in danger. So we've been practicing game control, specifically whether to win the ball back and go forward or to maintain possession. In that respect, there have been fewer unnecessary turnovers, and I think the players have made the necessary adjustments. However, we were caught off guard in a split second in front of the goal and conceded a goal, and we couldn't prevent that, so next time we want to make sure we can score from those opportunities ourselves."
