Head Coach Poyatos: "I think the game unfolded the way I wanted it to. I think we played a perfect game in the first half, and we did a good job of regaining the ball after losing it. I'm happy that we were able to score a goal from that. In the second half, I wish we had been a little more courageous. I wish we had been more courageous in keeping hold of the ball. We were too focused on counter-attacks, which led to us losing the ball early, which allowed the full-backs to get past us, and I think we were also tired. As for the goal we conceded, the ball went through Nakatani's legs, so I think that was unlucky. In the second half, I think we should have been a little more aggressive in our actions, attitude, and speed, but I think this J.League is a really balanced league, and there is no difference in strength between the teams. But I'm very happy about this win."

Q: "In the second half, the flow was certainly bad, so you replaced WELTON with Kurata. What was your intention behind that?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. I think there are pros and cons to this. The opponents were going back and forth on the right wing, so we had to run to WELTON on defense, and I thought that by bringing in Shu KURATA, he would do a good job defensively. As a result, there are pros and cons, as I mentioned earlier, and I thought that we might lose some of our ability to carry the ball forward on attack, but he handled that well and I think we were able to get the game going."
