Kento HASHIMOTO

From here on, we face matches we absolutely cannot lose. There's no point in dwelling on the defeat in the previous match (against JEF United Chiba). To make sure the loss against Chiba is not in vain, we want to firmly look forward and prepare to defeat Verdy. We cannot afford to suffer a season double. Everyone must give 100%, and we will just keep pushing forward. (The cheers after the Chiba match) I believe they reflect everyone's expectations, and it would be meaningless if we can't capitalize on being in the title race. We definitely want to earn 3 points and celebrate together.

Ryunosuke SATO

We will put our fighting spirit for the team front and center. The match against Verdy is the last game of a series of consecutive matches, so we will give it our all and aim to secure 3 points. I want to make it a game where I do my job in front of the goal and clearly demonstrate what I need to do individually and what the team needs to do.

Masato MORISHIGE

After the loss in the previous match, I feel that facing Verdy at this timing is very meaningful. I believe the team's and individuals' rebound mentality will be tested, and I want to refocus and ignite our spirit once again here.

Fuki YAMADA

As the chants echoed through the stadium after the match against JEF United Ichihara Chiba, the match against Verdy is a game we must win. I understand this better than anyone. Although the time until the match is short, I want to steadily build up what I can do and prepare thoroughly.

Keita ENDO

Unless the possibility of winning the league has become zero, we must put everything into the upcoming match and strive for victory. This match is one we absolutely cannot afford to lose. The league is entering its final stages, and both our minds and bodies are accumulating fatigue, but even so, I want to be a player who can make a difference. Our fans and supporters are also seeking victory, and we just have to meet their expectations. Everyone has a chance to become a hero in this match, and I believe it comes down to who will seize that opportunity.

Kota Tokiwa

There is no other way but to win three consecutive matches to become league champions. We lost to Verdy last time, so this is a match we absolutely must win in that sense as well. We cannot afford to lose to the opponent in front of us. We will show it through the results.

Marcelo RYAN

Every player has a strong desire to participate and perform well in this match. As a team, we have been training hard for this game. In this highly anticipated match, we want to show our results clearly and contribute to the victory.
