Head Coach: "I think the players entered the game well, aiming for a new club record of 10 consecutive wins. However, we haven't conceded goals early on, as we have done recently, so I think we didn't play the game very well."
We were a little too quick, and our attacks were a bit one-off, and we also lacked coordination in stealing the ball until the middle of the first half. However, we did well up until the middle of the first half, when we regained our rhythm and scored a point, but we conceded a goal at a wasteful time, and then conceded another goal early in the second half, which made it a difficult game.
However, we had some young players join in the middle of the game, and they showed a lot of positive attitude and showed a lot of different plays, so I think there were a lot of things that will carry over to next year.

Q: "Before we tied the score, I think you were giving instructions to Kurata and others about their positions. What did you tell them?"

Head Coach: "It was before the score was 1-1. Our aim was to have ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior play a bit like a second striker in a 4-2-3-1 at the start of the first half, so I told him to play more like a two-top with Watanabe. As for Kurata, I told him to keep that kind of play in mind, and also to think about moving Onoe to the right wing, since we hadn't been using him much on the right wing."

Q: "I see that you have strengthened your defense and your running, but especially for a team on a losing streak, it is tough mentally and there is a sense of fear that they will lose again. What have you been saying or instructing as the Head Coach?"

Head Coach: "I tried to keep the good parts. For example, I showed them footage of the bad parts, such as when they conceded goals in the second half of a match, and told them to improve their defense. There were also problems with the build-up in attack, so I told them about their positioning and the quality of their passes. After the Tosu match, when we played against Frontale, we won because winning helps restore the players' confidence, and we focused on the result and on selecting the members."
So my mentality improved a little and I was able to turn things around in the Kobe match and win the Shimizu match by a narrow margin, and I think my confidence started to recover little by little.

Q: "Once again, you took over the team during a difficult time when the team was facing a relegation crisis, and you've finished the season in 9th place. What are your thoughts on this? Based on today's game, what areas do you want to improve on and what are the challenges you want to address for next season?"

Head Coach Miyamoto: "It's true that after 17 games, looking back, it was a tough position to take on, but at the time, as I said the other day, I thought that we could definitely stay in the league by focusing on each game and by properly sorting out how each player and the team did things. Now, if we look at today's game in this position and only today's result, I still have some dissatisfaction. This is because our defense was going forward and our backs were a little heavy, so today's game dragged on for a long time, and I think that's an area we need to improve on for next season. Also, when we're trying to attack quickly, we need to improve a little more on our tactics with the opponent, our positioning, and the timing of receiving passes when we're on a slow attack."

Q: If you don't mind, please tell us why HWANG Ui Jo is not on the bench.

"Uijo hurt his leg a little bit during practice the day before yesterday. It's not a big deal, but he couldn't finish yesterday's practice, so we decided to skip today."
