Kento HASHIMOTO
(About the goal)
I was able to skillfully enter the ball into the area where it seemed to go up. Since I received a good ball from player Ota, all I had to do was guide it in.

(About the match)
The opponent played many long balls, resulting in a lot of time spent on picking up second balls.
I want to increase the time to keep the ball a little more and have more time for ourselves.
Therefore, I felt that it is a challenge to calm the ball down and control the opponent's momentum in terms of ball control.

"Yoshito OKUBO"
(About today's match)
Both teams played a match with many long balls, but it was significant that we were able to win with a score of 3-0.

(About the distance with player Satoru KAWANO)
I feel that Kawano is always watching me. He keeps coming inside and trying to receive the ball, so the distance between us has improved.

(What I focused on in today's game)
Today, I entered the game with a strong focus on breaking through the defense and applying pressure.
I always thought that by doing it myself, I could contribute to the strength of the team, and I want to continue doing that in the future.

(About the scoring scene)
From the middle of the second half, the opponent also started to drag on, and the distance between the front lines became really good just before scoring the second goal.
If we can maintain that distance, I think we can break down the opponent, so I want to keep that distance from the first half.
Today, the opponent's pace has slowed down, so it has become that distance feeling, but that won't work against strong teams, so we need to be more aware of that.

"Summary of Manager Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference"
"I expected it to be a very difficult game, but I think I struggled more than I anticipated."
Nevertheless, we patiently endured the opponent's long balls and long throws and gradually created our own opportunities.
The point difference widened, but I don't think it was that kind of game. We still have a lot to do, and I feel that these 3 points were brought about by the players' perseverance and positive attitude.
"I believe that the fans and supporters, including Seok Ho HWANG, Juan ALANO, and Akira FANTINI, have supported us until the end, and I consider it a truly valuable 3 points. I want to prepare for the next match."


"Summary of Niigata Fumitake Miura's press conference"
"I think the players were focused on the game. In the first half, we entered the opponent's area multiple times and created chances, but we couldn't finish them off. We conceded a goal from a free kick and the first half ended. At halftime, I told the players, 'The performance itself is not bad, and if we can equalize with one goal, we can definitely turn this game around.' The players also felt that and had a really good start to the second half, but the forward players, especially Tiago and Hony, started to get tired, and just as we were about to bring in Tatsuya Tanaka, we conceded a second goal due to a momentary lapse. After that, we couldn't turn the game around. In the end, it was a game where the opponent controlled the game."
