Players' Comments

Masaya Hayasaki
In today's game, we had possession of the ball from the beginning and created many chances, but we couldn't convert them into goals.
Also, the goal we conceded was due to a simple mistake on our part, so we should have played more safely and dealt with it more appropriately.
Personally, my defensive positioning was not good, and I was a little late in pressing when I should have.
We should have listened more to the voices behind us and raised the line.
Also, although I made many cuts in this game, I think I could have come up with more ideas on what kind of plays to choose from.
I will work hard on the issues I realized during this tournament and do my best to become a better player.

Yamamoto Takato
As a team we conceded many goals in this tournament, and although we were determined to keep a clean sheet in the last game we ended up conceding two goals and were unable to win, which is very disappointing.
Although we ended up in 6th place, we would like to work together as a team to improve and build on the issues and lessons learned from this tournament before the start of the Premier League.
Personally, I felt that I needed to grow even more while being captain.
I will do my best to be someone who can lead the team and produce results and make a difference when the team is struggling.

Okamoto Uta
Although we had the upper hand throughout much of today's game, we conceded a goal due to a momentary lapse in play, which I think was a very disappointing loss.
Also, I think we need to address the issue of not being able to take advantage of scoring chances we had.
My personal issues are that we made mistakes when passing the ball during our build-up and that we were unable to pass the ball to the opposing team.
The problem was that it was put out just a beat too late and was taken away.
