Q: "We had the ball for a long time in the first half, and it looked like we were able to put our preparations for the Hiroshima match to work. What did you keep in mind when you instilled that in your players?"
Head Coach: "We had footage of our practice match in June, against Hiroshima. I think we were able to show a lot of what we've learned this week, like where we're going to steal the ball and exploiting space, and when we did have the ball, we lacked the quality, or the ingenuity and ideas when we got close to the opponent's penalty area, which is why we didn't score. In the first half and until the middle of the second half. We wanted to hold on to the points we managed to grab, and win the game, but I think there were a lot of positives in the game, so yes. We'll keep our eyes on the next one."

Q: "You used Usami as an inside half in the previous match, and today you used him as a FW, and I think he showed off his strengths a lot, but there were also a few moments when he wasn't in front of the goal. What do you think about that as the Head Coach?"
Head Coach: "Neither ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior nor Usami are goal scorers in front of the goal, or the type of players who get into the goal frame, so I was hoping that other players would exploit that space, but I think there was certainly no one there in the first half. In the second half, everyone was a little more conscious of that, and we talked about it at halftime, and I think we saw people closing in on scenes where it looked like a cross would be made."

Q: "You've had a string of games where you've taken the lead but haven't been able to win. What do you think about the way you're finishing the games?"
Head Coach: "We were encouraging each other to keep the DF line from dropping back too much and to put pressure on the opposition from the front, even after we scored. However, we could have handled the balls the opponent sent in a little better, and we could have gained an advantage in a situation where we didn't need to aim for a second goal, but I think the team is lacking the composure to stop the game at that point. If we can improve in those areas, I think we can win the game."
