【Player/Coach Comments】

"Ryoichi MAEDA"
"I think it was good that we were able to challenge together with the aim of playing a new style of football after changing the coach."
Specifically, we are challenging ourselves to connect the ball with everyone.

(How do you feel about your performance?)
It was good to be able to make plays that led to goals, but there were also many mistakes, so I want to work on improving.

(What was the scoring scene?)
A really good ball came from Kubo player, and I had a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but the opponent read it.
It was a lucky goal, as it hit the opponent's defense, but I'm glad I was able to score.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I want to prepare myself to contribute to victory in any game I play."

"Masayuki YAMADA"
"Despite the rain at home, many fans and supporters came and we were discussing how to respond with results."
Also, since we lost in the Emperor's Cup, the players were talking among themselves about seeking revenge, so it's good that we were able to do that.

(It was a long time since we had a clean sheet victory in J3?)
I had the idea in my mind that we have been conceding a lot of goals in both J1 and J3, so I wanted to keep a clean sheet.
I think that will raise the evaluation as a DF, and it was good today because it led to victory.

(How do you feel about your own performance?)
As a new coach, when asked if I have been able to express what is expected of me, I still think I have a long way to go. On the other hand, because I was conscious of that, I was able to communicate with those around me and also encountered some problems.
I would like to solve each one of them one by one and I think it would be great if it keeps getting better and better.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I think it would be great if I could showcase my strengths in the given position, and hopefully that will lead to positive results.
I would like to continue doing it.

"Summary of Manager Nakamura's Press Conference"

"I am grateful for the support and cheers from many fans and supporters despite the bad weather."

The players knew that it would be a tight game as the opposing team had also been improving and it was their first home game victory in a while.

The TOP team has changed a week ago, and today, mentally, everyone has entered the game with the concept of creating a team together with the sub-members who fought in yesterday's J1 match, aiming for victory.

The game was still full of mistakes and although there was a strong awareness of connecting carefully, there are still remaining challenges.
I think the attitude of trying to do what we have to do as a team and what we can do as individuals ultimately led to a 1-0 result.

I think the players themselves are starting to see their own challenges within tight matches.
"I hope that everyone will continue to prepare to participate in J1 as much as possible for another week, and at the same time, I conveyed the message to work hard with gratitude for being able to participate in the J3 League like this."
