[Player/Coach Comments]

"Takahiro YANAGI"
"We lost the previous game, and I didn't think it was acceptable to have a losing streak, so I'm glad we were able to win today."

(How was your personal impression?)
We were able to actively attack in the beginning of the first and second half, but the number of attacks decreased in the middle of the second half. Therefore, I want to continue to have a mindset of actively attacking.

(What has increased playing time in J1?)
I think J1 has a very fast pace and tempo, and we have to keep up with that level even in J3.
I felt that it was especially necessary to increase the speed of decision making.

(Has your consciousness changed in any way?)
When I played in J1, I couldn't really make any moves, so now that I'm playing in J3, I want to be able to make solid moves against my opponents again.
I want to make plays that create opportunities from such aggressive moves when I play in J1.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
I haven't been able to win consecutive games in J3, so I want to accumulate 3 points in the next game as well.」

"Masayuki YAMADA"
"I think we were able to play enjoyable soccer that even viewers can enjoy, among many players playing in J1. We also had fun playing it ourselves."
However, looking at the results alone, I think we need to overwhelm the opponent even more.
3 goals are not enough, and we have to accept the reality of conceding 1 goal. We will focus on that and work on the next challenge.

(Was it difficult to prepare because you were in the J1 team the day before?)
I am always conscious of playing in J1, and even if I cannot play in the game, just watching it makes it easier to imagine playing in today's game, so I think I was able to prepare as usual without any changes.

(Today was my birthday, but?)
I think I need to evolve as I get older, and in that sense, I want to push myself harder and contribute to the team's victory by taking over the position.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
I am truly grateful for the many people who came to today's game and for the many cheers I received.
We will do our best to aim for a higher rank in both J1 and J3, so please support us.」

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"Thanks to the good weather, we were able to enjoy the victory together with the energetic support of our fans and supporters. It was a great feeling to celebrate the win together."

The match was very difficult in the first half, and we were unable to move the ball well under the opponent's pressure.
Amid various factors, we were able to increase our attacking time for 30 minutes in the second half by discussing and making adjustments among players during halftime.
I think that part was good.

However, there are times when the flow changes due to small mistakes, and we may need to make corrections.
I think it is necessary to extend our time zone.
