《Makoto OKAZAKI》
It was a disastrous defeat of 1-6. Accepting the fact that two players were sent off, the remaining players on the pitch were completely unable to respond.
I want to use this experience to grow for the next match.

(Has your playing time increased and how do you feel about it?)
In terms of defense, I have started to move my body more, but regarding ball feeling, my quality and precision in kicking the ball behind the opponent on a larger field is still low, so I want to practice diligently.

(How have you grown compared to last year?)
This year, I am participating in J3 as a professional player.
Having returned from injury, I am participating in J3, but I want to continue to prepare and practice so that I can compete in J1 without being satisfied with this.

(What was the scoring scene?)
I have been aware of getting behind the opponent since my first year of high school, and although the accuracy of the pass was low and it went off target, it ended up being a goal, so I was happy as it was my first goal as a professional.

(What is your determination for the next match?)
Having kept a clean sheet in the last two matches and conceding 6 goals this round, I want to ensure that both the DF line and the team are well-prepared this week to maintain our focus.

《Manato SHINADA》
I think we were able to play good football as a team, but we conceded goals from set pieces and had a player sent off, so I believe we couldn't play adult football.
As an individual, I was able to make several vertical passes, which are my characteristic, so I would like to continue that. However, I want to further improve my ability to develop plays, which is a challenge for me.

(Has your playing time increased, and how do you feel about it?)
I have been able to enter the match more calmly than before.
I have started to showcase my characteristics, so I want to continue working hard with confidence.

(What are your strengths?)
I believe it is the accuracy of my right foot kicks and the ability to make vertical passes to switch the attack on.

(Are you also serving as the set-piece kicker?)
I still need to improve my kicking accuracy, so I am reflecting on that.

(What is your determination for the next match?)
I believe we must win the next game, so I want the team to fight as one.

Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference
"I would like to thank all the fans and supporters who came despite the rain."
I am very sorry that the match ended in a disappointing result.

Regarding the match, how much can we do individually and as a group against a very aggressive team that is competing for the top position.
And since it was a home game, we aimed to win aggressively.

We conceded a goal from a careless foul leading to a free kick at the start, but we managed to recover from that, and the score remained 1-2 until midway through the second half.
In terms of offense, we were able to reach the finish line to some extent, and we were also able to move the ball and create chances.
From there, two players were sent off, and the remaining players did their best, but we conceded four goals and lost the match.
