[Player and Coach Comments]

《Ryoya OGAWA》
I was really happy that we were able to win rather than the content of the match.

(Did you wear the captain's armband?)
Since this is the final match of the season, we talked about definitely winning and going home.
I think everyone ran well and helped me.

(What did you gain throughout the season?)
Since I am older in the U-23, there were difficult situations.
Among them, with many young players, the team was initially disjointed, but as we played more matches, we felt a sense of unity, and I believe that being able to have a wonderful match like today is a sign of our growth.

(Message to the fans and supporters who have supported us for a year)
Thank you very much for your passionate support for the young players of J3 over the past year.
I will do my best to be able to play in J1, so I appreciate your continued support.

Taichi HARA
We were able to score immediately after the match started, allowing us to enter the game in a good shape.
I was glad that after Ishikawa started playing, we were able to show the determination not to lose and run through to the end.

(What was the scoring scene?)
A good ball came from player Ishikawa.
I had a strong desire to score with a header because Ishikawa was a player I admired, so I'm glad it went in.

(There was also a comment from Ishikawa about wanting to pass the baton after the match?)
Ishikawa is a great player, so I want to work hard every day to become a player who is loved by many people.

(Reflecting on the Season)
In the early part of the season, I couldn't contribute much to the team, but I believe I have gradually started to become more helpful to the team, so I will do my best to be more active next season.

(Message to the fans and supporters who have supported us for a year)
Many fans and supporters traveled to away games, and we want to work hard to deliver more victories next season than this year.
Thank you very much for the entire year.

Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference
"Today was a match filled with various emotions, but many fans and supporters came to watch, and I believe the players felt happy to play in such a rewarding match."

From the start, since today is the final match of the season, we talked about wanting to win today's game to make up for not winning yesterday's J1 Gamba Osaka match.
We were able to achieve good results from the start.

From the middle of the match, Cerezo also had a strong desire not to lose against a team of the same generation, which resulted in many fierce and powerful plays.

Somehow, in the end, we passed the baton to Ishikawa, and as a result of a wonderful assist, we were able to score the second goal and secure the victory.

I think it was a match where we fought together as one with the fans and supporters.

There are still many issues on the playing side, but I think this was a match that showed the results of the players fighting well for a year.
