【Player/Coach Comments】

Takahiro YANAGI
"I had thought that consecutive losses were unacceptable, so I am glad that we were able to win today after losing the previous match."

(How do you feel individually?)
We were able to actively initiate the start of the first and second halves, but the number of times we initiated decreased from the middle of the second half, so I want to continue to have the consciousness of actively initiating.

(Who increased their playing time in J1?)
J1 has a very fast pace and tempo, and I think we have to keep up with that level even in J3.
Among them, I felt the need to increase the speed of decision-making, especially.

(Has anything changed in your consciousness?)
When I played in J1, I couldn't really make any moves, so I want to play in J3 and try to make moves against the opponent again.
I would like to create opportunities through such aggressive plays when I play in J1.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
In J3, we haven't been able to win consecutive matches, so we want to accumulate 3 points in the next game as well."

"Masayuki YAMADA"
"I think we were able to play soccer that is enjoyable to watch, even with many players playing in J1. We also had fun doing it."
However, looking at the results alone, I think we need to dominate the opponent more.
3 goals are not enough, and we have to accept the reality of conceding 1 goal. We want to focus on that and work on the next challenge.

(Was it difficult to prepare because you were included in the J1 squad the day before?)
I am always conscious of playing in J1, and even if I cannot play in the match, just watching it made it easier to imagine facing today's match, so I think I was able to prepare as usual without any changes.

(Today was my birthday, but?)
I think I have to evolve as I get older, and in that sense, I want to push myself harder and contribute to the team's victory by taking the position more stoically towards myself.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I am truly grateful for the many people who came to today's game and for the many cheers I received.
We will do our best to aim for a higher position in both J1 and J3, so we appreciate your support.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"We were fortunate to have good weather, and it was great to be able to celebrate victory together with the enthusiastic support of our fans."

The game was very difficult in the first half, and we were unable to move the ball well under the opponent's pressure.
Among various factors, being able to have discussions among players during halftime and make adjustments allowed us to increase our attacking time for the first 30 minutes of the second half.
I think that part was good.

However, there may be occasions where the flow changes due to small mistakes and adjustments need to be made.
I think it is necessary to extend our time zone.
