"I think we had a lot of time controlling the game as a team, but we couldn't make it to the shot and couldn't score."
I think it is a big challenge for the team to concede a goal at a time when they should not concede the most.

(The play was very focused, but what was the feeling?)
Regarding today, we set the line high as a team concept and aimed to expand the goalkeeper's defensive range, and I think that part was well done.
However, the scene of conceding a goal occurred when the defensive line dropped too low and at the moment of the shot, it formed a shape like an air pocket, resulting in a goal being conceded.
I think the part of continuity, which means playing for 90 minutes, will be a challenge for the team.

(Today was the second game of the day, how was it compared to the previous one?)
I think there is a lack of parts that can encourage the team when they are struggling.
I think it would be good if the team could make plays that can prevent pinch situations with saves and change the flow by raising their voices especially when they are struggling.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
Rather than individual performance, I want to focus on the team's victory and contribute to the team's success."

"Takuji YONEMOTO Player"
"The start of the first half was in a good shape, but in the second half, we were pushed back a lot and conceded goals, which I think is a challenge for the team."
I think a team that can bring this kind of game to a draw is a truly strong team, so I would like to pursue it further.

(The playing time has also become longer, but how do you feel about it?)
I think it's getting better as we play more games.
Today, it was personally rewarding to be able to play a 60-minute game, and I hope to continue doing this.

(Are you feeling confident about a full recovery?)
Yes, I am.
I feel like I'm getting closer, but I don't think I'm in top form, so I hope to get closer to that by practicing.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I hope to contribute to the team's victory by playing my own game in any match.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans and supporters who cheered loudly in this bad weather."

The match was very intense.
In the previous match, we had a bad start and had a player sent off, conceding 3 goals in the first half.

In today's match, the players focused on organizing what they should do and what they can do, and first of all, they were conscious of the preparation and the start, and they entered the game with concentration.

However, there were also parts where the attack became monotonous, and we felt that we still have a lot to improve in terms of our limited time, technical aspects, and team coordination in order to score against a very good team like today's and win.

In terms of defense, the players fought tenaciously and did their best to keep the score at zero, but unfortunately conceded a goal in the end.
I would like to connect offense and defense in parallel and continue with the future training.
