"Ryoichi MAEDA"
"With a new coach, I think it was good that we were able to challenge together with the aim of playing a new style of soccer."
Specifically, we are challenging ourselves to connect the ball with everyone.

(How do you feel about your performance?)
It was good to be able to make plays that led to goals, but there were also many mistakes, so I want to work on improving.

(What was the scoring scene?)
A really good ball came from Kubo, and I was one-on-one with the GK, but the opponent read it.
It was a lucky goal, but I'm glad I was able to score by hitting the opponent's defense.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
I will prepare myself to contribute to victory in any game I play in.」

"Masayuki YAMADA"
"Despite the rain at home, we were able to have many fans and supporters come and we were discussing how we could respond with results."
In addition, since we lost in the Emperor's Cup, the players were talking about wanting to get revenge, so it was good that we were able to do that.

(It was a rare clean sheet victory in J3, but?)
I had been thinking about conceding a lot of goals in both J1 and J3, so I wanted to keep a clean sheet.
I think that will raise the evaluation as a DF, so it was good that it led to victory today.

(How do you feel about your performance?)
When asked if you were able to express what was expected of you as a new coach, I think there is still a long way to go. On the other hand, I was able to communicate with those around me because I was conscious of it, and I think problems have also arisen.
We want to solve each one of those problems and make things better and better.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
Personally, I think it would be great if I could show my strengths in the given position and it leads to good results.
I would like to continue doing this.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"

"We are grateful for the many fans and supporters who have sent us their cheers in the bad weather."

The players knew that it would be a tight game as the opposing team had also been improving, but they were able to secure a victory in their long-awaited home game.

The TOP team changed a week ago, and yesterday's J1 match was played with the same concept as the sub-members, and mentally, everyone entered today's game with the goal of winning.

The game was still full of mistakes and the awareness of connecting carefully was high, but it was a game with remaining challenges.
I think the attitude of trying to do what we can as a team and as individuals until the end led to the 1-0 result.

Players themselves are starting to see their own challenges in tight matches.
I hope that everyone will prepare to participate in J1 as much as possible this week, and at the same time, I conveyed the message to work hard with gratitude for being able to participate in J3 league like this.
