Q. "It seems like you weren't able to do what you wanted to do in the game, but what were your aims for the game and your instructions at halftime?"

Head Coach: "Simply put, it was a combination of players, Endo and Uijo were up front, and with the opponents applying that kind of pressure, we couldn't reduce that pressure unless we got behind them. In that situation, we needed to move a little more, so we brought on MESHINO in the second half. I was aiming for Shokuno to get behind the MESHINO and drop the line, which would allow us to move the ball a little better. I think there were times in the first half when our players should have moved with more confidence, but we were flustered."

Q. "You mentioned this in your half-time comments, but you weren't able to get the second ball. How does that make you feel?"

Miyamoto, the Head Coach, said, "Simply put, the opposing team had more power and determination to get there. I think it was a bit uncertain at the start, but that's the kind of atmosphere that the stadium had. I think that caused the players to perform a little differently than usual."

Q. "You're in a tough battle and not winning. What do you think is the reason for this?"

Head Coach, "I don't think I can give you any detailed or accurate information without watching the video, so I would like to refrain from making any comments right after the game. I'm sorry."
