【Player/Coach Comments】

"Ryoya OGAWA"
"Although there were many parts that didn't go well in the first half, I think it was good that we were able to discuss our opinions together during halftime and turn the game around in the second half, and we were able to secure 3 points."

(What was the factor that pushed the opponent in the second half?)
In the first half, I lacked a bit of composure in the referee's judgment, and that led to more mistakes.
In the second half, I think we were able to play the game calmly at our own pace, and I believe that by doing what we needed to do, the results followed.

(What about the assist scene?)
In the first goal set play, there were tall players like Yoshimoto and Yamada, so it was easy for me to kick as well.
When you can't score from the flow of the game, set plays become important, so I want to continue assisting.
The second goal, Insoo YU was in a good position. It was good that we had eye contact several times since the first half, and it led to a goal.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
Both as a team and individually, we are determined to focus on the results in the next match and aim to secure 3 points as a team.

"Kazunori YOSHIMOTO"
"Although we conceded the first goal to the opponent, we were able to play positively until the end without giving up."
I think it was good that we were able to come from behind and win in the end.

(What are the team's challenges?)
There were many mistakes, including myself, in the first half. I think if we could have progressed the game with a 0-0 score without conceding any goals, the game would have been a little easier.
If we can pursue such things further, I think we will become even better.

(How did you perform individually?)
In terms of personal play, it was a game with few plays that I can be satisfied with.
I think we still have a long way to go, so I want to practice hard to achieve good results in J1.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
First of all, we would like to work hard together to achieve good results in the remaining matches and finish the season well. Thank you for your support until the end."

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans and supporters who have come from afar."
In the first half, there were some moments where the players got frustrated, including with the referee's decisions, resulting in many mistakes and an inability to control ourselves.
It led to a goal against and almost turned into a bad flow, but with the entry of two overage players, they were able to regain composure again with those two players at the center.

Before entering the second half, let's score one goal at a time and turn the game around.
We talked about it and approached the second half. We really patiently and firmly moved the ball and I think the result of aiming for the goal until the very end led to a comeback.
In that sense, I think it was a game where I could become a slightly different adult than before.
