[Summary and Comments from Coach Nakamura's Press Conference]
First of all, regarding the result, I really wanted to win and make the team win.
Because all the players had the consciousness of connecting the ball that the player promised first to the goal.
Without anyone walking to the goal, without anyone slacking off, without hiding, the players showed a commitment to receive the ball and carry it to the goal, and they really showed an attitude of valuing the ball as they headed towards the goal.
In that sense, I was very frustrated that I couldn't win, and I think the players were also very frustrated.
(I think there were also players in unfamiliar positions?) We have arranged the positions so that each player can demonstrate their individual strengths, even in unfamiliar positions, in order to make the most of their unique characteristics.
I think I was able to play the game without feeling much discomfort.
(The number of times we approached a goal in the second half increased) By moving the ball, we thought that the opponent would also get tired in this heat, and our strength is being able to move the ball.
However, regarding the second half, we discussed not only moving the ball but also aiming for more goals.
(I think I made you feel frustrated by not being able to win today, despite coming in the scorching heat with enthusiasm for the next match.)
Next match is away, but we will do our best to achieve both the result and performance.

【Player Comment】
《Hanaya》
"Today, I was able to join the team for the first time. From the outside, I think the way we entered the game was not bad. While watching, I was imagining how I would enter the game from the middle."
I think I was able to enter the game in a good image when I actually participated from the middle. Although it was a different position from usual, I think I was able to show some moves around the penalty area, which is my strength.
(Although I came on as a substitute and was involved in scoring opportunities even in an unfamiliar position) I have always made sure to prepare myself to not stop my feet when it comes to heading situations, since my time playing in the U-18. I was able to shake off my marker and it was just a matter of finishing properly, so I am extremely frustrated.
(It was my J-League debut match at FC Tokyo) Honestly, I was a little nervous at first, but as I kept playing, I got used to it and was able to show my strengths. Personally, I think it was a good debut match.
"(I'm excited for the next match) If I have a chance to be in the lineup for the next match, I want to show my strengths and score a goal this time."
