Head Coach Crupi: "Kobe played a very good game today, and considering that we also made a comeback in the second half, I don't think we deserved to lose. Kobe took advantage of their chances and scored. Their finishing was more accurate than ours, so we ended up losing, which was the worst possible outcome."
However, both teams fought with all their might until the very end, and I think it was a very exciting game for everyone who watched it.

Q: "At the end, Kobe had a few decisive chances, but it seemed like the team as a whole was a little sluggish. Was that because of fatigue? What do Head Coach think about that?"
Head Coach Crupi: "I don't think it was a physical or fatigue thing. I don't think both teams were similar in that respect. However, both teams had decisive chances in the second half, and we had decisive chances that we should have scored, but in the end, it all came down to concentration."

Q: "I think you have one substitution card left, so I'd like you to answer that question."
Head Coach Crupi: "A substitution is made for various reasons, such as physical, tactical or technical reasons, and we use one substitution slot, but I don't think there was any player who was performing poorly in the flow of the game today."
Also, looking at the flow of the game, we decided to use only two substitutions today.

Q: "Why was MESHINO selected as a starter? I think you're trying out MESHINO and Ide on the left wing, but I wonder if you haven't figured it out yet? And will you continue to figure it out in the future?"
Head Coach Crupi: "We are still in the process of assessing the players for some positions, including the left wing attacker, through official matches. Among them, I think MESHINO's performance was very good."
We had chances to score goals, but perhaps the ball was spinning or curving, and there were times when we tried to score carefully but couldn't. However, we ran very well until the end, and I think the performance itself was very good.

Head Coach Crupi: "I personally don't like to talk about referees after the game, but I felt that there were one or two instances in today's game where we should have been awarded penalties, and I think that those were factors that directly influenced the result."
