"Takuya UCHIDA"
"Since there were many U-18 players, I approached the game with the mindset that I needed to lead the team."
We were able to pass the ball from the first half, and we also had several chances to score.
I was able to create chances for myself and go towards the goal in the second half as well.
However, I personally want to improve the quality of scoring as it is a challenge.

(The ball was moving at a good pace, but what was the feeling?)
While the ball was moving, I think we were able to rotate it quickly because we were able to make good movements, such as the third person's movement.
I think the tempo will increase by increasing the movements of not only the second person, but also the third and fourth person.
I also want to review the entire team, including myself.

(It seemed like you were playing more inside than usual?)
Since the opponent's system was 3-4-3, I heard that their side players were attacking.
I was told by the coach to receive the ball inside and develop it.
I think it was good that we were able to receive the ball and create chances inside.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
This time, the performance was good, but the result was a draw, so I want to do my best to win the next game.}

"Takahiro YANAGI"
"As our opponent was undefeated, everyone was able to approach the game with high motivation."
I think it was important to win. I wanted to end with a victory because the game was good.

We were scored on first, but I think everyone kept fighting until the end and the result was a tie goal, so I want to take that positively and use it in the next game.

(Although I was actively attacking)
Today's game was difficult to create chances from crosses because Insoo YU was not there, so I was conscious of taking the initiative and going all the way to the finish on my own.
However, it was good to end with a shot, but I think if we focus more on the accuracy of the final shot, we will have more chances.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"Thanks to the home game, many fans and supporters came to support us, and I believe the players were able to approach the game with high motivation."

I think the game was disappointing as we had a player sent off in the previous match and conceded multiple goals.
Of course, the players who fought until the end ran well, but unfortunately it became that kind of game, so in this round, let's get 3 points in front of the fans and supporters.
Let's win. The opponent is the top team, but we told them to play our own soccer instead.
I think the players entered the game with a high level of concentration.

They always tried to play with a strong determination and physicality towards the goal, but the opposing team was of a high level and both individually and as a team, they were a truly amazing team.
We still lacked the strength and ended up conceding a goal first.

However, what can be evaluated is that we aimed for the goal from the beginning to the end, and even in the last scene, we were able to score an equalizer with 3 or 4 people jumping in front of the goal, so I think it was a positive development. "
