Head Coach Poyatos: "I'm glad that we were able to get the flow of the game in the first half. I thought it would be a difficult game today, but the players fought aggressively, and then (Yamashita) Ryoya scored a goal, which gave us momentum. In the second half, we had to endure a lot, and there were yellow cards and midfielders like (Suzuki) Tokuma were out, so I think we held back a bit, or put the brakes on. However, we were able to gradually take control of the game. I'm very happy, and I think we got a really important win."

Q: "This is the second consecutive game without conceding a goal. At the beginning of the season, you conceded goals one after another, but what do you think about the tenacity of the defense today?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "This is not just the work of the defense, but I think that the clean sheet was really the work of everyone involved, from the forward JEBALI to the last line and the last GK(Ichimori) Jun. I personally think that there were some really bad accidents in the Cerezo and Okayama games, and we have been making adjustments since then. In my mind, I'm still not settled, and I think there is a lot more I can do, so I want to continue doing my best."

Q: "Today was Mitsuda's first time in the starting lineup. Can you tell us about his evaluation and his adjustment to the team?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, that's right. I think he did a really good job. In particular, I think he helped us out by keeping the ball between the lines. He also showed his talent with vertical passes from there, which led to the final shot. I'm very happy with his performance. However, I think he still needs more time, and I believe he can do more. I think he'll get a grip of things like individual adjustments between players and automatic movements within the team, and I think he'll do more and more in the future, and at the same time become a player that many people can enjoy."

Q: "I think Mitsuda's defensive movements were good today. What do Head Coach think about his strengths and the defensive aspects of the team, including the pressing from the front line?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "As I said before, I think the pressing is everyone's job, everyone's hard work. I think he'll perform better from now on, and he's really intelligent and he's quick to grasp things. He's quick to do what he's told. I really want him to get better as a soccer player, and I think his rate of growth will be a factor in making the team even better."
