Head Coach Crupi: "Although a loss is the worst possible outcome, I think the players should be praised for fighting to the end and giving it their all physically. There were periods when the flow of the game seemed strange and it would have been better if the result had been different. I feel that there are still areas where we need to grow as a team. Some players made their debut today, and we would like to work together as a team to improve our strength in the upcoming consecutive games."

Q: "It seemed like your defensive concentration was very low in the first 10 minutes of the game. Why did that happen?"
Head Coach Crupi: "Actually, I thought that the question I just asked was the answer, but I think that a lack of concentration was indeed the problem at the start of the game. We conceded a goal from a set piece in particular, but set pieces are the play that requires the highest level of concentration in a match, and I think they are also the most difficult play in terms of game management. I think that our failure to prevent the cross from that set piece was due to a lack of concentration."

Q: "MATHEUS Caldeira Vidotto De Oliveira made his debut today. What do you think of him? And what was the aim of moving him forward towards the end of the game?"
Head Coach Crupi: "In assessing his play, I think today was not normal. I think today was his first time experiencing the tempo of Japanese football, and I think it was tough for him. However, he is a technically sound player, so I'm sure he will improve with each game. I didn't give any specific instructions to move MATHEUS Caldeira Vidotto De Oliveira up in position. Considering the flow of the game and the score, I think it was normal for him to end up in that position."
