"Riku HIROSUE"
"Today, we played with the awareness of keeping a clean sheet as a team."
I was happy that the results came along, and it was good to be able to score in the early stage of the game.

(It was my first appearance in a while?)
I have been away from the game for a bit, but I was always conscious of playing in the matches and keeping a clean sheet.
I'm glad I was able to play as usual.
In the second half, there was also the influence of a headwind, making it a bit difficult, but it was good to be able to keep it at zero.
It was good that I was able to play aggressively against cross balls as I had heard that the opponent's side attacks were frequent through scouting.
I think it was very good that I was able to play aggressively so as not to lose to player Go HATANO, as I thought the difference between him and myself was in terms of height.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
Although there are fewer remaining matches, we will continue to strive to reach new heights, so we appreciate your support."

"Rei HIRAKAWA"
"It was good to be able to score the opening goal early in the game and play our own style of football."

(What is the important thing that determines the outcome of today's match?)
Although the opponent had possession of the ball for a long time, I think the best thing was that we were able to stay strong and defend.

(Looking back on my first J-League goal?)
I received a pass from Hashimoto player at the timing and place I wanted.
I was able to skillfully and calmly make it to the shot myself.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I am very fulfilled because I can practice with highly skilled players.
I think it is important to continue practicing with 100% effort.
I will play to win and do my best to achieve consecutive victories.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"The fans and supporters were powerful and supportive, cheering loudly during the home game."

Regarding the game, it was very good to see Shin Yamada's strengths in set plays at the beginning.
However, afterwards, the opponent gained possession of the ball and we were unable to apply pressure, resulting in a prolonged period of being pushed back.
Among them, somehow, they managed to keep it at zero.

In the second half, they actively pushed up even in defense, so there was pressure on the ball.
From there, we were able to create several opportunities and it led to a goal.

Regarding the score, it was also the first goal for player Hirakawa, but it was a good goal as he firmly executed it technically and also contributed to the team's scoring by making passes and switching between offense and defense.
