A lot of supporters came out in the rain, and we were able to give them our first win at home, so I think the players really fought well for the full 90 minutes. I expected that Nagoya would be very motivated and it would be a very difficult game.
Our attacking form was good from the first half, but we lacked the precision at the end and couldn't score, but in added time, it seems that Takashi scored a goal just before the end of the first half, breaking down the left side well and taking a good shot into the opponent's goal.
In terms of the game's development, we were able to score another goal with a good break down, just like in the opening game, and after that, just before we conceded the goal, we were being pushed back by the opponent, and we gave them a little opening because of our own mistakes, so I think that this game is something to reflect on. After we conceded a goal, we were able to change our mindset and score the third goal properly, so I think we were able to make use of the lessons learned from the opening game and win properly. The players really fought until the end.
We've won one game at home, so we can finally get started. We're leaving tomorrow morning for the ACL Thailand, and we have some injured players, so in terms of the team's overall strength, we'll work together and fight well in the next two away games.

Q: What do you think of the players who returned from the national team?

A: I think Fujiharu, Usami, and Konno all played like national team players. Haru (Fujiharu) showed a new way of breaking down the defense from the side, and Konno (Konno) was able to complete the 90 minutes without any problems. The goal was a bonus, but it was well done, but for us, the fact that they continued to play well even when they were tired at the end and played until the 90th minute will be a big thing for the team.
