[Player/Coach Comments]

"Makoto OKAZAKI"
"In the previous match, we aimed to show our own style of football and bring back points against the opponent we lost 1-6 to, but unfortunately we suffered a devastating 0-5 defeat away from home."
There are only parts to review, and I would like to move forward by separating them.

(The three backs were composed of young players?)
I am a player with attacking characteristics, but I entered with a strong awareness of the defensive part.
The U-18 players have secured both sides. Both of them have high potential and I trusted them, but I felt that they were not used to playing as a three-back.
There are also difficult parts, and since we only have the opportunity to practice together on weekends, I want to make it a more intense time and communicate with each other.

(Also wrapped the captain's armband)
I have to take the initiative and be more proactive, especially when playing with younger players. I want to be aware of being the older presence.
In that, I felt strongly that I have to aim higher and work hard while wearing the captain's armband.
I want to play solidly in J3 league matches and build up my experience.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
Since we lost the previous game, we want to focus on the result and win rather than the performance, and turn the team around.
I want to push up from below.

"Manato SHINADA"
"I think we played good football even after conceding in the first half."
In the second half, we conceded multiple goals from set pieces and simply lost due to being outmatched.

(Are you extending your playing time?)
I think your performance is also improving, but the results are not showing.
However, I think there are also good parts, so I want to continue.

(He also serves as a set piece kicker)
But he hasn't been able to score, even in matches against strong opponents like today. I want to provide good balls that can lead to goals.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
We have lost two games in a row and the team is not in a good flow, so we will prepare as a team and do our best to break that streak and earn 3 points.」

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"We are grateful to have many fans and supporters come to our away games and for all the support they give us."
I think it was a very disappointing game that we couldn't show scoring scenes and victories at the same time.

Regarding the match, I think we have to recognize that we lost due to our lack of strength, as you can see.
We knew there was a difference in everything, including power, speed, and set plays, when we played in the first half, so we thought about how we could respond as a team.
For example, how to position your body as a first defender, not allowing easy crosses, and not giving away careless fouls.
These are some things that can be considered, but when watching today's game, I still think we were unable to respond well.

The players were seen making great efforts to respond after conceding the first goal, so I believe that this aspect can be built upon in the future.

However, for the second and third goals in the second half, we lost with a simple one-on-one header from a set play, and our reaction to loose balls was slow. We ended up conceding goals in a similar manner repeatedly.
We need to continue growing more and more, and I still think we are not enough to win in the future.
