Head Coach Poyatos: "I'm not satisfied with the result, but I'm very satisfied with the team's flow and the solid play. I think the players really did a good job. There are 90 minutes left. I told the players in the locker room that I knew it was a difficult game, but I was confident that if we continued with this flow, we could definitely win. I think we played with a really solid playing style in the first and second halves, threatening the opponent and controlling the game against Urawa in both halves. I'll say it again, but I'm not satisfied with the result, but I really think the team and the players played a good game."

Q: As Head Coach Poyatos said, you were in control for most of the game, but what do you think went well that allowed you to play the way you did?
Head Coach Poyatos: "It's really hard to explain, but rather than thinking about the good points, I'm more frustrated and I think we lacked a little bit of concentration. The young players (Fukuoka) Shota and (Sato) Yodai have a sense of responsibility, but I also think that we lacked the ability to take control of the game at the right time, and although the opponent scored a great goal at the beginning of the second half, I think we lacked a little bit of experience and understanding of the decisions that need to be made at each moment. Right now, I'm more interested in that than the good points."

Q: "I think we created a lot of chances, but we couldn't score against Head Coach until the end. Is there anything you would like to improve on for the 2nd Leg ?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "We closed the space in front of the goal by ourselves, and because we got too close, we naturally ended up losing the space in front of the goal, so I think it's important for us to be patient and take our positions. I think the other thing is decisiveness. They have the talent, so I want them to prove the quality they have. They have that talent. But I'm not satisfied that we didn't show that today. Of course, there are times when goals will be scored and times when they won't, but we created many decisive chances in the games against Tosu and Shonan, so I think that ultimately, each individual needs to have a sense of responsibility and make sure they sink the ball."
