《Takuji YONEMOTO Player》
"It is disappointing that we couldn't win, and I think it is important for us to strive for victory regardless of the members we have."
I'm really frustrated that I couldn't win.

(How do you feel about your performance?)
I couldn't produce results within the given time, and I strongly feel that I wanted to focus more on achieving results in my play.
I wanted to contribute somehow because the U-18 players were working incredibly hard, but unfortunately I couldn't do it.

(How is your condition?)
I haven't been injured, so I think I'm doing well.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I hope to be able to maintain a body that can play for 90 minutes without getting injured, as we do in every game, by preparing from practice."

"Koki HASEGAWA Player"
"We knew beforehand that they were strong based on the information we received about the opponent, but they are a team we cannot afford to lose to, so it was a shame to concede a goal from a set piece early in the game."
The opponent's two top players were very strong, but I think we were able to make good responses little by little, working together with Sakaguchi player as a center back and communicating with each other, although there were a few scenes where we were beaten.

Kajiyama and Yonemoto, both overage players, are in the defensive midfield position, and there is something that can be learned from them. The biggest gain was being able to play while receiving their inspiration.

(How did you feel personally?)
In the first set play, my clearance was a little weak and I ended up getting shot.
I realized that I need to make each clear and back response clear.
In that, it was good to be able to score with my characteristic set play, but it is frustrating that I couldn't fully demonstrate my strengths in the passing aspect of the attack in the 0-2 situation.

(What was the scoring scene?)
I was very frustrated as I missed a free shot in front of the goal, which was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, in the set play before I scored.
I entered the goal area with the thought of "I will score" during the corner kick scene.
Since I was able to remove the mark successfully, all that's left is to pour it in.
Scoring with my signature set play was encouraging.

(I often formed a partnership with a professional center back in J3)
When there were top team players around me, I relied on the players around me, followed along, and played with my own characteristics.
However, today I played with a sense of responsibility while thinking that I have to be the center.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
Since we lost this time, I definitely want to win the next one.
Since a victory without conceding a goal is also becoming distant, I will shout from behind and aim for a victory without conceding a goal.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"Despite the scorching heat, we entered the game with a strong determination and the will to secure 3 points, with over 2,000 fans and supporters in attendance."
However, unfortunately, conceding a goal early in the game from the opponent's weapon, which is set pieces, made it difficult for us in terms of game plan.

As time passed, we were able to create opportunities in the first half with Kajiyama and Yonemoto at the center of the game.
We regrouped during halftime and focused on attacking from crosses.
In the second half, we were able to create several chances as planned, with everyone heading towards the goal.

However, the second goal conceded was really painful, and although we managed to score one goal afterwards, the players fought until the end to aim for 3 points.

What I told the players after the match was about the individual aspects, taking the ball away, and the battle for the ball, especially for the young players who still have a long way to go.
Other reactions and predictions, etc. We still lack play accuracy, so let's practice to be able to win against teams like this, both individually and as a team."
