"Takuma ABE"
"It was not so much pressure as it was pure joy to be able to step onto the pitch for an official match after about a year."
　Towards the end, my legs were starting to cramp up and I may have been lacking in terms of game sense, but I was able to play really enjoyably.
　Team victory is the most important, but I also believe that it is important to "achieve results" when given the chance.
　I was able to score a goal thanks to a good pass from Yuhei before the first goal, so I was prepared to receive it again. It came just as I expected and I was able to score, which was great.
　It was good to score, but I want to increase the number of shots.
　"I want to continue doing my best in practice and if I get the chance to play in a game, I will do my best again."

"Kazunori YOSHIMOTO"
"The switching of the front and midfield players was fast, and even if the ball was taken, they quickly went back to take it back, which was reliable as a defense."
　The reason for switching to a 3-back formation was because the opponent had a 3-man front line, and we wanted to focus on countering that.
　We always discuss together as a group of three, and even if it becomes more one-on-one, we should be able to control it, so we confirmed to "be strong against people".
　I think we communicated well and the passing of the mark went smoothly.
　Player Abe is working very hard on both offense and defense and also scored a goal.
　Player Yanagi also made his debut, but with new players playing, if we win like this, the team will definitely be energized.
　Today was the first match of the Levain Cup, and we will need everyone's strength to win the title.
　We also want to communicate with everyone and work together to do our best.

"Press Conference Summary by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA"
"This result was very good. The players who were on the bench showed a great attitude like today, which was a very good result for the team."
　There may be some mistakes in the content, but it showed that they actively challenged every opponent player.
　With this, the competition within the team has become even more intense, and the players who played today showed that without the attitude like today, they cannot play in the game.
　After losing to Gamba, we want to take a positive view of being able to win the first game of the Levain Cup at home as a team.
　I always tell the players who have achieved results to actively participate in the game.
　It is my job to choose who to select, but I believe that players who have produced results and shown their attitude have the right to play in the game, so I want to prepare with everyone for the league match.

"Press Conference Summary of Sendai Manager Susumu WATANABE"
"First of all, I apologize to the supporters who came all the way from Sendai and those who were looking forward to this match in front of their TVs."
　It's not often that we get beaten like this throughout the year. We gave away a few careless goals.
　It took time to organize the defense as mistakes increased from the start of the first half.
　The second half started well after making adjustments at halftime, but after conceding the second goal by being caught behind, the team was unable to maintain their power.
　I think that is the biggest challenge our team is facing right now.
　The result was the same as the previous Kobe match, where we couldn't catch up in the end despite the energy to come back from a 2-point deficit.
　As for today's game, we were further behind due to conceding additional points. It is a challenge that has been presented to us, and I believe it is a reflection of our current abilities.
　However, since there is a game against Kashiwa in two days, we want to overcome this situation ourselves and approach the next game with energy.
