Head Coach Crupi: "As for the game, both teams struggled to create offensive chances, and it was an evenly matched game with a lot of fighting in the midfield. Shonan was able to capitalize on their one chance, and in that respect, they deserved to win."

Q: "Today's match came after a very good performance in the previous match against Cerezo Osaka. Do you think that you were reeling from that match?"
Head Coach Crupi: "It's hard to explain, but I think it's possible that a gap would appear when everyone shares their joy after winning a very hard-fought derby. I thought that this was the area we needed to prepare for the most, so I talked a lot about it with the players. And I think the players have been preparing in that way, but when it came to actually playing, they weren't able to do what they had been able to do up until now, and what they had been able to do in the last game, and in the end, we paid the price with a loss."
