I think it was good to win against Frontale at home, and the players were also feeling the same after losing 3-5 away in the last second stage, so they played with enthusiasm today, and since they had lost the last two games, I think they played very aggressively. There were some mistakes in passing, but I think they showed a lot of power after stealing the ball, and they also played aggressively in switching. They were stripped a few times, but that can't be helped when playing against Frontale, so we focused on responding well in front of the goal at the end. There were some dangerous moments, but I think we were able to respond well at the end without panicking. We can play soccer until the end of the year, so we want to win the final game, and although it may be due to other forces, we will fight until the end, believing in our possibilities.
I hope we can play a game that will please our home supporters and give them a victory as a gift.

Q: You haven't won your last two games, and your offense hasn't scored a single point, but you managed to score two points today. How do you rate your offense?
A: I think we have become much more powerful. We spent this week practicing attacking, thinking about what we have lacked in the last two games. We also practiced defense a little, but we basically trained on how to show power in front of the goal. Each player organized their thoughts very well, and we worked on the number of crosses, and instead of the usual one Anderson PATRIC Aguiar Oliveira, we had a player on the opposite side come in. I didn't think Yat would make a mistake at the end of the chance, but Yone's attacking power also came out, and we will show him the video this week and work hard as a team again. In the last match against Hiroshima, we lost our concentration a little in the middle, so we kept our concentration until the end today. Of course, there are times when things don't go well, so we need to fight as a team without getting impatient. In the first half, the flow was going back and forth, but I think it was big that we were able to score the first goal in our own flow at the end. Of course, we knew that Frontale would push forward if they conceded a goal, and it was very big that we were able to score the second goal from a counter attack in that situation. Even with that kind of momentum, we naturally spent a lot of time on defense, but we pushed back well and created several chances to score a third goal, so I think the players played with a great understanding of what they needed to do as a team and what they had to do to win.

Q: Speaking of Omori, not only did you score the valuable opening goal, but you also showed your characteristic tactics and aggressiveness on both offense and defense, which I think will lead to future results. What is your assessment of that?
A: He was exhausted at the end, so we thought about putting Futagawa in, but it ended there. He was pretty tired at the end, but I think he played aggressively until the end. I think he played with his typical Kotaro dribbling, and he made some runs, so I think Kotaro played very aggressively because he felt he had to do it in the absence of Takashi.
