Q: "There may be a difference in motivation between you and Matsumoto, who wants to stay in the team. What kind of preparations did you make? I think the first half was very good, but what do you think went well?"
Head Coach: "Simply put, our goal was to win the final home game, score one point in 15 minutes, and if possible, score the second and third points in the first half. Of course, we knew that the opponent would bring their strength to stay in the league, so we thought we had to perform better than that, and we worked hard."
I think the first half was good, but we were a little on the defensive at the start of the second half, and of course the other team came out to play early in the second half, but we conceded a goal, so I told the players that we could have done better in the second half, because the first half was good.

Q: "By the way, will Ideguchi be substituted at this time?"
Head Coach Miyamoto said, "I had a slight ankle injury in the first half, so I was substituted."

Q: "Ideguchi-san, you mentioned that you have been working hard in the penalty area, but today you were able to see that in action when you scored two goals. What is your assessment of that?"
Head Coach Miyamoto: "As for today, I don't think there were many plays that were typical of the team. Of course, we were in positions where we could have scored points, but as national team players, we need to show more dignity, and I would like to see even higher performances on both offense and defense in future matches."

Q: Regarding today's game, the wings were used well, and the inside halves were also involved, so I think we were able to see what the Head Coach wanted to do in terms of attack. In that respect, I would like to know if the form we are in at the end of this season is to a certain extent the ideal form, or if we have reached it. During the ceremony, you mentioned mental strength, and I think mental strength is important, but in addition to that, in terms of the elements on the pitch, please tell us whether we are getting closer to the ideal that the Head Coach is aiming for.
Head Coach: "Elements on the pitch?"
Q: "About soccer."
Miyamoto: "I think the Head Coach is beginning to move automatically to a certain extent, and we've also seen some improvement in the build-up on the right wing, which has meant that the anchor is able to handle the ball with ease more often, which I think is leading to good attacks."
Of course, I think we can do better in that regard, but I think we're starting to get somewhere. However, looking back at last year, we played well at the end of the season, but then we had an off-season and became a different team again, so even if we're doing well now, I don't think it's a good reference for next season.

Q: "With Usami in such good form, I think that the opposing team will naturally come up with a plan to tackle this next season. Usami didn't score a goal today, but the fact that we won suggests that apart from Usami, what other areas do you think the Head Coach needs to work on next season, such as building up the offense?"
Head Coach Miyamoto: "We want to improve the accuracy of our attacks from the sides. In the second half, Fukuda and Fujiharu came close to the goal, but although we have the form, it hasn't translated into results. Of course, we're able to create more chances, which we weren't able to do before, but I've told the players that they need to be more particular about it, and in defense, I want to steal more balls. I think the players may be able to do it to a certain extent on both the offensive and defensive sides, but I want to ask for more."
