[Summary of Manager Yasuma's Press Conference]

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans, supporters, and sponsors who have patiently supported our team in this bad weather and despite our struggle to secure points."
The game has been played with challenges and themes in both offense and defense in each match. Although we have been able to do more, for today's game, we emphasized the importance of winning as we faced off against U-23 teams belonging to the same J1 league, who we will have to compete against in the future. We conveyed the message that it is not the team that plays good soccer and makes good plays that wins, but the team that plays with confidence. We scouted the Cerezo and Gamba game and emphasized the importance of winning the ball and transitioning between offense and defense. The players played with the strong desire not to lose, but the fact remains that we could only earn 1 point. So, we will face the players and add quality to this level of activity in order to secure a position in J1 and win at least one game."
