《Masayuki YAMADA》

"We were able to hold the back line without conceding any goals, but it was a game that we could have won if the players in the front line had better accuracy in finishing and scored from set plays. So, we want to switch gears and make good preparations for the next game."

（How do you feel about your performance?）
I think I need to aim for the J1 level and compete against players from top teams.
In J3, I think it is necessary to always keep a clean sheet and also show my own presence, so I want to always be prepared to deliver at least the performance like today.

（What are your thoughts for the next match?）
Of course, our defense will continue to strive for a clean sheet. As a team, we also want to score goals and work hard to win away matches.
Thank you for your continued support.

"Since Grulla Morioka played in a 3-4-3 formation, as the defensive line, we tried to slide quickly and make it clear who would mark which opponent."
When it was possible, we were able to handle it properly from behind, but when it was not possible, it sometimes led to a pinch.
The fact that we were able to keep a clean sheet is something that I consider positively.
I think that we were able to keep a clean sheet by raising the line and playing while giving proper encouragement to Shin YAMADA and the other players, even during the difficult times in the second half.
I think that putting my body on the line in front of the goal is one of my own characteristics, so I want to continue doing it in the future.
I feel that it is a future challenge to connect firmly from the DF line and create opportunities because we are not able to score from the build-up in the attacking aspect.

（What are your personal impressions and challenges?）
When I first participated, I couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed, but as I played more games, I feel that I am gradually able to keep up.
I want to continue to make efforts every day to win when competing against physically strong players or tall players, as there are times when I lose.

（What are your thoughts for the next match?）
I will prioritize keeping a clean sheet in the next game and definitely aim for a victory.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for being able to play the game in a wonderful stadium environment."
We truly appreciate the support and attendance of many fans and supporters who have come from far away to cheer for us.

In the midst of a series of games that we can't seem to win, today we didn't concede any goals.
We trained for a week, focusing on the build-up of attacks to the finish, and approached the game with a solid awareness. However, the result was a distant 1 point, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw.

The number of times we entered the penalty area, for example, exceeded the previous and previous previous rounds, but it was a game where I realized that we still lack the power to actually decide and the number of times to take it to the shot or the awareness and accuracy to aim for loose balls.

I think that part can be evaluated well as the players fought well until the end despite the heat.
