Head Coach: "I think we scored the opening goal in a good way, and the way we moved the ball to get there was something we had been training on. However, the opponent had the ball for a while and we were able to hold it back a little, so we made some adjustments to that and went into the second half, but we weren't able to fully adjust that, so we changed our system midway through the game. In that sense, we made some substitutions and there were periods where we pushed forward while slowing down the opponent's momentum to some extent, and we were also aiming to score additional points, so I think that in that respect we went according to plan, but at the very end we had some really good crosses and shots, and we had to hold on to that spot at the crucial moment, so we need to improve that even more, otherwise we may lose points in future games, so I'd like to reflect on that again with everyone."

Q: "I think you decided to go with a five-back formation quite early on. Can you tell us the reason for that?"
"The reason was simply that the opposing players were taking positions deep on the sides, and with five players up front, they were able to move the ball freely, so our aim was to respond by placing players there,"Head Coach .

Q: "You've been conceding goals in the final minutes of games recently, so I'd like to hear your thoughts on how to close out the game."
Miyamoto: "In terms of the way we conceded goals, for example, when we were playing against Jubilo after being fouled, or when the GK caught the ball too early and threw it away, but that didn't happen today, and in the Head Coach FC Tokyo match, it wasn't due to our own mistakes. Of course, the opponents were trying to score today, but we also had to defend and try to score more, so it was a very close call. Of course, we said in the pre-match meeting that we wanted to have a strong and strict first defense at the end, but when the cross was made at the end, we let them take it a little freely, so I think if we improve on that, we won't have to worry about it. At the end, everyone was conscious of taking the ball to the side, so we want to continue that."

Q: "In the end, rather than just defending, you were also trying to create an offensive opportunity with a counter attack, but in that situation, you managed to score the second goal at the end, and I think you need to be more aggressive in your attacks in the future. I think there are some issues with your defense, but do you think you will need to score second and third goals in the future?"
Head Coach: "I think that's right. After we scored one point, we were playing well in the first half, so we had to go for the second point, and we didn't use up much power in the offensive part, and I think everyone was conscious of wanting to play the game carefully while we were leading by scoring. Of course, that's important, but when you go for it, you have to go for it. For example, there were many scenes in the second half where Takae carried the ball forward, and we could have scored additional points in those situations, and there was also a scene where Kazumi turned around and shot, and I think we can win by scoring additional points in those situations."

Q: "What else do you think Head Coach needs to do to return to a strong position?"
Head Coach: "Rather than saying what exactly, I think there are a lot of things. First of all, we need to regain our confidence by winning the game, but there are also many areas that need improvement, such as technique, physical strength, and tactics, so I think we need to work with the players to raise their level again. Rather than saying what exactly, there are a lot of things we need to improve."
