Head Coach comments after the match
Head Coach: "Up until we took a 2-0 lead in the first half, we were able to execute many of the aims we had in mind.
However, in the first half, the opponents had the ball for a while, and in the second half, we found the timing to apply more pressure and made it clear who was going to go to whom.
The penalty kick came early on, so I think we were a little unlucky at times.
It's natural for the opponent to gain momentum after the score is 2-1, and while we were keeping the score at 2-1, there were times when we could have gone for a third goal. As a result, we were turned over, but we will analyze that and work hard for the next game.
Q: "You were the first to replace Kurata. What was your aim?"
Head Coach said, "As for Kurata, he was a little heavy on the stamina side in the first half, and he was feeling a bit tired, so we decided to start him early. The opponent's number 6 player was also coming on, so we had to hold him back."
Q: "Are you thinking about defense?"
Head Coach: "Of course, in terms of defense and of course, when we steal the ball and then go out, I'm also thinking about how we can create time for each individual."
Q: "How do you feel about not being able to beat Nagoya, who are ranked lower than you?"
Head Coach Miyamoto: "As we move forward with the game after the 2-0 score, I think we are lacking a little in terms of physical strength for the game. Overall. I think there are some areas for reflection in terms of summer training and conditioning throughout this season, and since we have consecutive games, I can't really get involved in that, so for now I'd like to think about recovery and how to improve my condition for the future."
