Q. "I think this season has concluded in a very good way. Can you give us an overall summary of the year?"

Head Coach Miyamoto
"This will be a long story, so I'll focus on recent events. The players are getting used to the current method and system, and at the same time, the condition of the players who joined the team especially after the summer has improved, which I think is leading to the recent number of goals and team results. We struggled in the early spring with a lot of goals conceded, but we changed our method and the game content and results have stabilized, and we had a season where we replaced players, so I think it's been a season where we just had to make do. However, ideally we would like to play a little more, like today, scoring three, four or five points, and as we enter the off-season, I hope the team and players will continue to have this positive image in mind."

Q. "Ideguchi was absent due to an accident and Kurata came in instead, which I think was good for the team balance. What do you think about that?"

Head Coach Miyamoto
"First of all, Ideguchi had a slight fever in the morning and was unable to play. We had to suddenly ask Kurata to play, but he had been in good condition since training and I thought he was ready to play for the full 90 minutes. We started today under those circumstances, and the tempo was particularly good in the first half, with Kurata, Yajima, Onose and Fujiharu receiving the ball at their feet and making runs behind the defense, which I think was one of the reasons for that. Also, Usami's pauses, and his good tempo and ability to steal the ball and attack quickly were all part of the training he has been doing for weeks. "

Q. "Will Ideguchi have any influence on the national team?"

Head Coach Miyamoto
"It's still too early to say. The fever wasn't that high."
