Head Coach Myojin: "With the league season continuing in quick succession, I think today's match was important for both teams. The players worked hard from the start. The first half was 0-0, but I think we were able to execute our strategy in both attack and defense, as we were playing in the opponent's half. However, in the second half, we were able to execute our strategy properly as we went for the goal, and scoring the first goal, which we hadn't been able to do for a while, brought a sense of calm to the team. Of course, we were tied 1-1, but the players worked hard until the end and showed that they were determined to win this match. I am very pleased with that. We had been in a losing streak, but the players and staff alike have been very positive and forward-looking. I think it was good that we won today. We won't be satisfied with just this win, but will make adjustments and prepare for the Kyoto match in 2nd year of junior high school days. I would like to express my gratitude to the many fans and supporters who came to Fukuoka, even though it was a weekday away game."

Q: "This was the first time you scored first in a league match. How would you rate your performance after taking the lead?"
Head Coach Myojin: "I don't think there were any particular problems. The fact that we conceded a goal immediately after scoring is something we need to reflect on, but we'll work on correcting that for the next match."

Q&Quot "Please give us your evaluation of Usami's performance, including his role in the first goal and his goal in the second goal."
Head Coach Myojin: "He's a truly talented player regardless of his form, possessing extremely high levels of skill, judgment, and experience. Mentally, he's very tough and brings calmness to the team even in difficult situations. I think he brought composure to the team with every play, not just in terms of results. He leads by example in practice and shows it through his play. I think his play today was outstanding."

Q: "With the score at 0-0 in the first half, what instructions did you give to the players going into the second half?"
Head Coach Myojin: "I told the players that we should always stay focused throughout the 90 minutes, and that we were putting up a good fight both offensively and defensively, so I said it was a good performance. However, I made sure that we all agreed on what we needed to do as a team to score goals in order to win the game."
