《Makoto OKAZAKI》
"Last time, we lost 1-6 to our opponent, and we wanted to show our football away and bring back points, but it ended in a disastrous 0-5 defeat.
There is nothing to reconsider, and I would like to use this as a turning point to move forward.

(Was the three-back composed of young players?)
I am a player characterized by offense, but I entered with a strong awareness of the defensive aspect.
The U-18 players flanked both sides. I had confidence in both of them due to their high potential, but I felt they might be unfamiliar with the three-back formation.
There are difficult parts, and since we only have the opportunity to practice together on weekends, I would like to make the most of that time and communicate effectively.

(I also wore the captain's armband)
I need to take more initiative, and while younger players are participating, I want to be aware of my role as an older presence.
In that, I strongly felt that I must strive for higher goals while wearing the captain's armband.
I want to participate in the J3 League matches and build up my experience.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
We have suffered consecutive losses, so I want to focus on the results, win rather than the content, and uplift the team.
I would like to push up from below.

《Manato SHINADA》
I think we played good football even after conceding a goal in the first half.
In the second half, we conceded goals from set pieces and simply lost due to a lack of strength.

(Have you been increasing your playing time?)
I think the performance has been improving, but the results are not showing.
However, I believe there are good aspects as well, so I would like to continue.

(He also serves as the set-piece kicker)
but has not been able to score, and 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 match?)
After two consecutive losses, the team is not in a good flow, so we will prepare thoroughly as a team to break that and do our best to earn 3 points.

Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference
We would like to thank many fans and supporters for coming to the away games and for sending us their support.
At the same time, I think it was a very disappointing match because we were unable to show scoring scenes or victories.

Regarding the match, I believe we must recognize that we were overpowered, as you have seen.
When we faced each other in the first half, we understood that there was a difference in power, speed, and set plays, so we thought about how the team could respond to that.
For example, how to position the first defender's body, not allowing easy crosses, and not committing careless fouls.
These are some considerations, but watching today's match, I think there were still many situations where we couldn't respond effectively.

The players showed great ingenuity in trying to respond after conceding the opening goal, so I believe that aspect can be carried forward into the future.

However, regarding the second and third goals conceded in the second half, we lost in one-on-one headers from simple set plays, and our reaction to the loose balls was slow, resulting in repeated goals conceded in the same manner.
We need to continue to grow more and more, and I believe we still have a long way to go to achieve victories in the future.
