"Ryoichi MAEDA"

(It was a 0-2 result. How do you review the game?)
"Today's result is very disappointing. In the first half, Takahagi gave a great pass from a quick restart and we were able to create a 1-on-1 situation, but I feel like not being able to score in those chances led to today's result."

(About the partnership with Diego OLIVEIRA, who formed a two-top?)
"There were times when we were able to play at a good distance, but there were also times when we were a little too far apart."
"I think if we can increase the time we play at a better distance, we will have more chances, so I want to build it up from practice."

(It was a long-awaited game at Yamaha Stadium.)
"I felt once again that it is a really great atmosphere stadium. It's frustrating that I couldn't score and help the team win in such a place."

(For the next match)
"We want to face the challenges as a team. Personally, I will do my best to make a strong appeal and score goals that will lead to the team's victory."

"Keigo HIGASHI"

(Disappointing defeat)
"We need to have another thorough discussion as a team and fix the areas where we were off. However, the season has just begun, so we want to turn things around from here."

(Although we ended up with no goals in two consecutive matches)
"Not only no goals, but we also conceded goals.
We need to watch the video together again to find out the cause. We need to have a thorough discussion about both offense and defense and there is no choice but to prepare for the next game. Today's result is very disappointing and I apologize to the fans and supporters. With that feeling of frustration, I want to make good preparations for the next one."

(I think it was a good starting point to move up to the top from the middle)
"Even if the position changes, the responsibility to score goals and assists remains the same. I think the team is currently struggling, but if we can overcome this together, we will surely become stronger. We have no choice but to believe in that and keep going."

(The front line and midfield don't seem to be linking up well)
"Because the opponent is there, we have to show a strong mentality and fighting spirit first. In addition, I think it's important to think more about how to move and become free while playing."

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA Coach's Press Conference"

"The players really gave it their all until the end, but I think the deciding factor was the opening goal. Adailton was able to deflect Nakamura's pinpoint cross, and I don't think the defense can be blamed for that. The East team was also closing in well when the cross was delivered, but they were caught off guard for a moment and got scored on."
However, we were able to create many opportunities to take the lead from the first half, and there were also a lot of set plays. In that sense, it's not just about the flow of the game, but also about taking the lead, including those set plays. I think that if we could have scored the first goal, the result could have been different.
It is certain that it is difficult to score points, so first of all, while watching the video carefully, I want to prepare for the next Shonan match while judging what happened and how.

"Summary of Iwata Manager Hiroshi NANAMI's Press Conference"

"I told the players that in games like this, small mistakes, weaknesses, and such things can determine the outcome. I think everyone, including the players who came in later, did well and stayed focused."
Especially in the second half, it was stress-free to watch and there were no scary scenes except for the moment when Nagai tore through the side. I think we were able to play aggressively and connect good attacks by taking the lead.
However, the quality was not high, so that needs to be improved. Although we were able to circulate the ball in the vital area from the first half, we couldn't put the ball into a dangerous area in the end, so we didn't have many chances.
In the second half, by consciously passing the ball back and forth between Kawamata and Adailton several times, we were able to bring the opponent down even more. In any case, getting 3 points is a big deal for us, and I think it's a good point that Maeda (Ryoichi) couldn't score a goal this season. It's not like the flow will change all at once, so we have to tighten our focus and prepare ourselves because Hiroshima has won 3 consecutive victories away against Kashima, who is a difficult opponent. We want to create a stronger mindset and a solid group."
