Head Coach Poyatos: "It's really difficult to talk today after such a game. First of all, I want to congratulate FC Tokyo on their victory, and at the same time, I want to give full praise to our own players. Although we were down to 10 men, I personally think that the way they fought until the end is truly worthy of praise."

Q: "Maybe it was difficult because you made some changes to the team members, and your offense lacked smoothness a little. What do you think was the reason for this?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "In terms of ball movement, I think we were lacking, but in terms of goal-scoring opportunities, I think there were clear goal-scoring opportunities at the very beginning with Aki (Kurata), then Musashi (Suzuki) and then Ryotaro (MESHINO). On the other hand, looking back now, I have the impression that FC Tokyo didn't have many clear goal-scoring opportunities."

Q: "Were there any FC Tokyo players that you felt were particularly threatening or made an impression on you?"
"I have the impression that FC Tokyo has a lot of good players, and I think there are many great players, starting with Nagatomo, and I also have the impression that there are many promising young players," said Head Coach Poyatos.

Q: Just as you were about to make two substitutions, a player was sent off and you were down to 10 men. Do you think you could have had a significant impact on the game if you had stayed with 11 players and used your substitution cards?
Head Coach Poyatos: "May I ask you a question in return? With all due respect, how did you feel watching the game until the end? How did you feel watching the game unfold when you were playing with 10 men and creating chances like that? I think everyone can imagine it being 11 against 11."

Q: "When you were playing with 11 players against 11 players, as you said, you created a lot of chances in the first half, but in the second half you had a hard time creating chances, and it seemed like you were more active after you were down to 10 players."
"Everyone has their own way of looking at things, so I want to respect everyone's opinions,"Head Coach Poyatos.
