"I think it was good that the team was able to catch up to the tie at an early stage without collapsing even after being scored against."
However, we want to use the fact that we couldn't win by turning the tables to our advantage in the future.

(Although it was a different position than usual?)
I have to play firmly in the given position.
However, it was a very difficult game and there were many areas where I felt inadequate.
I think we need to do more and more.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
We haven't lost in the last 5 matches, so I want to do my best to win the next game and continue this good momentum.

"Rei HIRAKAWA"
"We conceded a goal early in the game, but we were able to equalize early as well."
There were chances to score in the second half, but unfortunately we couldn't convert them and ended up with a draw.

(What about the assist scene?)
A good ball came from Kubo player, and there was space in front when I turned.
I was able to dribble the ball, cut through the side, and saw that Lipe VELOSO was free in the middle, so I was glad to be able to pass it accurately.

(It seems like I've been increasing the number of plays where I carry the ball forward myself?)
I've been particularly conscious of playing forward with dribbling recently.
I think it is gradually taking shape.

(Are you also becoming more aware of scoring goals?)
In terms of achieving results, I am conscious of goals and assists.
Scenes like receiving a pass from Kubo in the second half must be finished.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
If I have the opportunity to play in the next match, I would like to do my best to make better plays than today, using today's performance as a reference."

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"Continuing from last week, we are grateful for the support and passionate cheering from our fans and supporters who came to cheer us on in the cold rain."

Regarding the match, I think we were conscious of the part of moving the ball that we have been doing continuously, and we were able to do it from the beginning.
However, we conceded a goal first, but in the past few matches, the improvement is that we have stopped conceding goals consecutively compared to before.
In the previous few matches, there were multiple goals conceded, but in this match, I think it can be evaluated positively that we were able to score after conceding a goal.

My legs stopped moving from the middle of the second half, the ball stopped moving, support became slower, and the transition between offense and defense also became slower.
The game still had many areas that were lacking.

I want to make sure that the players train well and continue to move their feet and reach the goal area until the finish in the second half.
