[Coach Yasuma's Press Conference Summary]
"In this rising temperature, when the U-23 players lost a point, they didn't look down and instead said to themselves, 'It's still okay. Let's not concede any more goals.' I think it's important for the whole team to understand and communicate what needs to be done next."
I think the atmosphere of the last stadium was hoping for a 2-1 comeback, so I want to train well and be able to turn the tables and push forward in the next game. "

《Sasaki》
"We wanted to continue our winning streak after our last game, but it wasn't easy to make it happen. We could have scored one more goal, but we'll switch our focus to the next game and do our best. (About your own performance?) I think I made some simple plays and I wish I could have made more threatening plays against the opponent. (What are your thoughts for the next match?) Our next match is against Y.S.C.C. Yokohama, and we definitely want to win and improve our ranking."
