"Masayuki YAMADA"
"We were able to have a persistent battle in the first half, and I think it was a good development because we were able to reflect on the goal we conceded from the previous set play."
However, it is a point of reflection that we conceded a goal due to one gap or ball contest in the second half. However, I think we have definitely grown compared to the previous match, so I would like to reflect on this and improve for the next game.
(Do you feel confident in your play?) I need to show my presence and it will also help to tighten the team. So, I hope to improve my defensive style to bring out my strengths.
(As captain today, what did you focus on?) I didn't particularly focus on anything, but the coach told me to "just play as usual," so I want to lead the team from the front on the pitch and continue to showcase my strengths without any special focus.
(What are your thoughts for the next match?) The team as a whole has been growing, but I believe that we cannot continue to grow without winning. I also feel sorry for the fans and supporters, so I want each and every one of us to face it sincerely and improve and prepare for the next game.

"Go HATANO"
"(Compared to the previous match?) I think we were able to prevent goals from set plays and crosses from the sides."
(There were some dangerous scenes, but?) I think I was able to use the lessons from last time in the parts where I trained individually during practice.
However, I think the challenge is to not lose concentration until the end, so I want to focus on that and become a player who can succeed in J3 and perform well on the J1 stage.
(Were there any U-18 players who didn't usually practice together?) I played in the U-18 team last year, so there weren't any particular problems and we were able to communicate well.
(I think there were accurate instructions,) I think it's my own characteristic, so I hope to bring out the good parts.
(Do you want your first victory?) I want it. I want to make sure I win the next time I play.
(How was the defense?) There were some accidents, but I think we can't move forward without holding back. I think it was a good experience, so I want to make use of it next time.
(Was the team lacking focus and composure?) I don't think so."

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"We are grateful for the many fans and supporters who came from Tokyo."
The game was a match that we really wanted to win. In the previous round, we couldn't score any goals, but in this round we were able to take the lead at a good time.
The players tried to focus on scoring more points. I think there was progress compared to the previous match.
However, my legs stopped in the middle and we were also faced with various accidents, so it was very frustrating to have two points returned and lose. It was a game where I realized that there are still parts that are not enough.
