[Summary of Manager Yasuma's Press Conference]
"Regarding our attack, we entered the game with the intention of trying to break through the opponent's last line. We want to see players who have the determination to make the final decision, such as the last pass or the ball behind the defense line, after we have controlled Akita's momentum and are able to launch our attack. In terms of defense, we have made significant progress compared to the first match, but there are still situations where we lose the ball again after regaining possession and make mistakes by trying to force plays in unnecessary situations, resulting in being bypassed. We still need to gain more experience. I have conveyed to the players that I want them to continue trying, and I hope to see their growth. Despite the difficult conditions, we have fans and supporters who have come all the way to Tohoku, so I want to show them a winning performance. We will continue to work hard."

【Player Comments】
《Nozawa》
"I didn't want to give up the first goal. It was difficult during the time when the opponent took the lead and gained momentum, and we couldn't really find our shape. As time went on, we had more possession and created chances, but we still lacked the ability to finish them. When we concede the first goal, the game becomes challenging, so we need to be aware of that and keep going. (I also changed positions during the game) It was an unfamiliar position, but it was a position that I have practiced before, so I had some idea about positioning and how to handle the ball. I tried to pass the ball to the player in front of me and make runs after passing, but it didn't lead to a goal, so that's something I need to work on. I want to become a player who can perform at a high level in any position. (Looking ahead to the next match) It's a home game, and we need to break the streak of three consecutive losses, so we absolutely have to win and aim higher from here."
