Head Coach comments after the match
I'm satisfied with the result. We'll prepare thoroughly for the next match. Having a veteran player like Higashiguchi behind us provides a great sense of security. I think there was a feeling that if we held on until the very last moment, Higashiguchi would stop them, and I think the teamwork was excellent, including that aspect. As for JUANPE and Alli, we made sure they got playing time while monitoring their condition. Individuals don't come above the team, so we're always working to win as a team, and I want the players to approach the game with that mindset. Conversely, I believe that if they don't do that, they won't be able to go any higher. We're working with the mindset of doing everything for the team. I think the youth players' good training on a daily basis was evident in their quick transitions and other aspects. Of course, the opponent is a factor, but I think that aspect was well shown today. I think it's important to continue fighting tenaciously. I believe that success in the U-21 team will lead to the top team, so I want them to always keep in mind their own growth and their ambition to go higher.
