"Yoshito OKUBO"
(About the second goal)
"I knew the opponent was following, but they didn't come to attack the ball, so I was able to calmly make the decision."

(Looking back on today's match)
"There are still many mistakes in the midfield, and the burden on defense has become too heavy. If we don't show composure when scoring the first and second goals, I don't think we can move up from here."

(Is there a sense of momentum after scoring?)
"Yes, definitely. After scoring the second goal, S-Pulse has to move forward and create gaps to take advantage of. This is something that can be done from the beginning of the game, so we want to be more conscious of it and play accordingly."

"Shoya NAKAJIMA"
(It was my first time starting in the league for a while)
"I have been playing in the Levain Cup, so I don't separate the league and the Levain Cup in my mind, so my condition wasn't bad. However, the team was different, so I was conscious of that when entering the game."

(There is an image of improvement in terms of ball separation, but is there a change in consciousness within yourself?)
"I am thinking about playing by choosing according to the situation. When the flow is good, I think it is necessary to ride on that flow. I think I am able to play well by riding on the flow of the team right now."

(Is scoring goals the current challenge?)
"Yes, that's right. However, in soccer, there are times when the situation changes and we have to play flexibly. So, I want to make decisions based on the situation and be able to make the right choices."

"Press Conference Summary by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA"
"It was great to be able to get 3 points at this place with the support of the players and supporters. In this heat, I would like to thank all the fans and supporters who came all the way to support us and fought with us. In the game, there were scenes where we were pushed in by long balls in the beginning due to the wind, but we were able to gradually control the game at our own pace. The opponent came with a 4-4-2 block, so it was quite difficult to break through, but we were shown several breaks from the sides and the center. It was really good to be able to score from a counter attack, and it's been a while since we were able to score an additional goal, so I'm thinking positively for the team. Looking at the whole game, there are still mistakes and we will be able to play the game more calmly and aggressively. I think we saw a lot of things in today's game, so during the break, I want everyone to switch their minds and bodies and prepare for the next game together."

"Q&A"
Q=It was said that many things were seen in today's game, but what about player Yu OKUBO?
"Of course, (Yu Okubo) Yoshito's high level of skill can be seen in various situations, but he especially has technical ability in the penalty area and near the penalty area."
What I wanted to see today was (Yu) Okubo not drifting to the side, but (Shoya) Nakajima and (Keigo) Higashi drifting to the side. Of course, I want (Kengo) Kato to do some free running behind the opponent's fullback, but until now, Kato has been drifting a lot. Today, I want Nakajima, Higashi, or (Ryoichi) Maeda to create opportunities on the side, and in the end, Kato can score the goal.
However, he has truly experienced a lot and is able to grasp the flow of the game. Sometimes he drops back and touches the ball, and as seen in today's goal, he has a sense for aiming for counters. The team is also trying to make good use of that, so it is gradually coming together.
However, there are still many challenges, so I think there are still many things to improve. So, in that sense, it was a statement that "I saw many things today".

"Summary of Shimizu Manager Shinji Kobayashi's Press Conference"
"We were able to win on Wednesday, so I think they came with a strong lineup. In that sense, it became a slightly tough game where we were able to defend and attack with a good balance. We ended up being too aggressive and conceded from a counter, which was a shame. In that sense, there are still some areas where we need to improve in terms of making accurate decisions in terms of winning the ball, delaying, and defending the goal, as well as in our 1-on-1 defense."
Regarding the second goal, it was a shame because it happened when we changed our system. It would have been better if we could have created more attacking opportunities in that shape, but we were scored on before that.
It was difficult to make progress today, and we were unable to execute many functional attacks.
The game became a bit tough, but we want to switch gears and prepare for the next match against Cerezo in two weeks.

"Q&A"
Q=How did the absence of ace player Daesei Jeong affect the team?
"He is definitely the ace and an important player who moves around in the front, so it was a shame that both he and Shirasaki got injured during the game. Duke did his best, but we had to drop him back to midfield and bring in Koya Kitagawa early on due to Shirasaki's injury, which was a bit tough. In that sense, it felt like we lacked power throughout the 90 minutes."
