Head Coach Crupi
"As for today's match, it was a really disappointing result. I think the decision to send off a player so early in the match had a big impact on the flow of the game. I think it's very difficult to win against Hiroshima, who are in the lead, even with 11 men, but being down to 10 men made the situation even tougher. However, Hiroshima is currently the team leading the league, so I think we have to acknowledge that they played some solid football."


Q. "Hwang Ui-jo was taken out because a player was sent off. Why did you take him out when he's a dynamic player?"

Head Coach Crupi
"Tactically speaking, with one man down, it would have been a very tough decision to leave the two strikers as they were, so we thought we had to take one out, but ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior just returned today and I think he can be called a regular. Of course, the premise is that he will put up numbers with his performances in the future, but with him being a regular, we made the decision to take Ui-jo out."


Q. "Today, you fought with only 10 men and it seems like a loss that will have a significant impact on your team. What do you think about that?"

Head Coach Crupi
"It was a terrible result, and it's very damaging that the first game after the league restart ended like this. However, I think the players showed a fighting attitude that didn't give up until the end, despite being down a player early in the game, and in this humid weather."
