Head Coach Miyamoto: "As this was the 1st Leg of the Levain Cup quarter-finals, I sent the young players onto the pitch in the hope that they would be able to contribute to the team as we go through the upcoming league matches, and that they would be able to show what they have accumulated this year.
I think it was clear that my performance was lacking, so in that sense, I think it was a mistake for me to make that choice.
"I feel very sorry and regretful that we had to put on such a performance for the supporters who came to watch the game under such difficult circumstances, including the typhoon," he said.

Q: "You said that the performance of the young players was lacking, but was there anything that you felt was disappointing or unfortunate about throughout today's game?"
Miyamoto, Head Coach: "We were trying to steal the ball from the opponent's goal with a well-coordinated defense, but we lacked the strength to take the ball when it looked like we could, and when the opponent was putting in power to score, we pushed them back, and in the scene where we conceded a goal in the second minute of the game, I think we hadn't yet reached that level of quality in the key moments of the game, and I think we saw a lot of other things in the game."
