"Riku HIROSUE"
"Today, we played with the conscious effort of keeping a clean sheet as a team."
I was happy to see the results and it was good to score in the early price range.

(It was my first appearance in a while, but?)
I was a little distant from the game, but I always kept in mind to play in the game and keep a clean sheet.
I was able to play as usual and it was good.
In the second half, it was a bit difficult due to the headwind, but it was good to be able to keep it at zero.
It was good that we were able to play aggressively against cross balls because we had heard that the opponent's side attack was frequent in scouting.
I thought the difference between myself and player Go HATANO was in terms of height, so I think it was great that I was able to play aggressively without losing to player HATANO.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
There are few remaining games, but I want to do my best to aim high, so thank you for your support.」

"Rei HIRAKAWA"
"It was good to be able to score the first goal in the early stages and play our own football."

(What is the most important thing to decide the game in today's match?)
Although the opponent had possession of the ball for a long time, I think the best thing was that we were able to stick to our strong defense.

(Looking back on my first J-League goal?)
I received a pass from Hashimoto at the perfect time and place that I wanted.
I was able to calmly make my way to the shot.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
I am very fulfilled because I can practice with highly skilled players.
I believe it is important to continue practicing with 100% effort.
"I will do my best to play for victory and achieve consecutive wins."

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"The fans and supporters were a great source of strength, cheering loudly during the home game."

The game was very good, with Yamada's strengths coming out in the set plays at the beginning.
However, after that, the opponent had the ball and we couldn't press them, so we were pushed back for a long time.
And among them, somehow, they kept it at zero.

In the second half, they aggressively pushed up even in defense, so there was pressure on the ball.
We were able to create several chances from there, which led to points.

Regarding the score, it was also the first goal for player Hirakawa, but it was a good goal as he firmly executed it technically and also contributed to the team's scoring and switching between offense and defense, which was a challenge.
