Head Coach comments after the match
Head Coach Miyamoto: "We started the game with some changes to our line-up from the previous match, considering that we were playing consecutive matches and considering how Jubilo should play. The first half ended with the score at 0-0 and we had some dangerous moments, but we played as planned at the half-time mark and were able to take control of the game by changing players and combinations in the second half. After it became 1-0, the players worked hard to hold on, and although it was disappointing that we conceded a goal in added time, we will never look down and will work hard to get ourselves in good condition for the next match."
Q: "After you took the lead at the end, you were pushed back and found yourself in a pinch a few times. What do you think was lacking that led to that kind of development?"
Miyamoto, the Head Coach, said, "Of course, we all knew that the home team would launch an all-out attack in added time after conceding a goal, and we never relaxed our pressure on the ball. However, I think we lacked the composure to take a little more time when we had the ball or when we had a free kick. If we had done that, I think we could have won."
