Head Coach Myojin: "It's very frustrating that we didn't get the result we wanted, as we were aiming for three points. We were able to create many chances against an opponent that was playing defensively, but this was a typical example of how it becomes a difficult match if you don't convert those chances properly. However, considering that we created many chances and were able to break down the opponent, it's not a performance to be discouraged by. It's true that we didn't get the result, but we want to find areas for improvement from today's match, including not only improving our conversion rate but also creating even more chances, learn from it, make improvements, and move forward to the next match. Regarding the refereeing, there were some questionable points, including the goal conceded, but I think that's all part of the match, so we won't be swayed by such things and will prepare thoroughly for the next match so that we can earn three points with our own strength."

Q&Quot`: What is your assessment of JUANPE, who made his debut today? Also, was the substitution at that point in the game something that was anticipated to some extent beforehand?
Head Coach Myojin: "We didn't have a specific time set for substitutions; we were thinking of letting them play as long as they could, depending on the flow of the game. It was JUANPE's first official match in a while, but I think he showed a good performance. Of course, there are still areas where he needs to adjust, such as the team's style and his coordination with the other players."
This was his first official match since coming to Japan after recovering from a serious injury, but he fully demonstrated what he's capable of. I believe he will get even better from here on out, and I have high expectations for him.

Q&Quot "What aspects of JUANPE have you found particularly impressive? Also, what kind of play and role do you expect him to contribute as he becomes more integrated into the team?"
Head Coach Myojin: "We saw a lot of his characteristic play, such as connecting passes with one or two touches towards the goal, and spreading the ball to the flanks. What's important now is his condition throughout the match and his ability to work in sync with the other players. Match fitness is also a factor, but I believe he'll gradually return to his original form as he plays more matches."
