Q: "Due to injuries, you put Onoe in the middle and I think you started off really well, but what was your aim going into the match and what adjustments did you make at halftime after things started to go wrong?"
Head Coach: "When I put Ono in the middle, I was thinking about the match against Kawasaki, or rather, I analyzed how to play against Kawasaki, and I needed a player like that up front. I've used Ono up front in practice matches, so I knew how he played, and he's played for Yokohama FC. I expected him to play differently from ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior, Usami, Anderson PATRIC Aguiar Oliveira, and Watanabe. I think we saw some scenes of him going into space and taking some powerful shots. I think we started off well by scoring, but after that Kawasaki came out and we had more time to hold the ball, and we were pushed back a little, and what didn't go well was that we had the ball, and even though we took the ball, we couldn't carry it forward, and we lost it right away, so I think it was a difficult first half.
In the second half, I told them to fix those things, but I think we still lost the ball too easily. After the score was 1-2, we had more time to hold the ball, and Onoe and Fukuda went deep to the sides, which created the starting point for the second goal.

Q: "You wanted a player like Onoe, someone who could get into space and attack?"
"Simply put, it's about speed and the ability to carry the ball," said Head Coach.

Q: In the second half, you replaced Fujiharu with Onoe on the right side. Was it because Fujiharu was injured, or was it because Kawasaki's Hasegawa was targeting the right side, and you wanted Onoe to take care of the defense? What was your intention?
Head Coach Miyamoto: "We were a little worried about Fujiharu's condition, so when he started to look tired in the second half, we moved Onoe to the right and Fukuda to the left."

Q: "How do you feel about this result of only getting one point?"
Head Coach: "Of course, we were going for the three points, so one doesn't feel enough, but looking back on the game, the opponent had many chances, and we also came close to scoring a third goal after the score was 2-2, but I think we were a little pushed back in the game. It's a really close match, so I think it's very important to get one point, so I want to take it as a positive thing, but I feel like it's a little disappointing considering we were talking about going for the three points before the game."

Q: Just to confirm, is it correct that the reason why Usami and ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior were not on the bench today is because they were injured?
Head Coach, "They were not in the squad because they were injured in the Levain Cup semi-final away game against Sapporo and were unable to practice this week."
Q: "You chose Watanabe as a FW, but what do you think of that intention and your evaluation of that?"
Head Coach Miyamoto: "With Watanabe up front, we can keep the ball. Kawasaki is a team that excels at having the ball, but when we want to increase the time we have the ball, we need a player who can be a target up front and create time for a player who can support us positively to be nearby, so we decided on the combination of Watanabe and Onoe."
Q: "What was the content of today's game?"
Head Coach Miyamoto: "About Watanabe? (Yes) Watanabe was very much like him, and his condition has been improving since the beginning of last month, so he's had some good shots and good goal-scoring scenes in practice, so although I would have liked him to shoot a little more today, I think he made the movements I expected to a certain extent."
