Head Coach Poyatos: "First of all, I'm really sorry to our fans and supporters, so I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize. I personally think that the second half was really not good, and the way we started the second half and the start were really not good. In the first half, we were able to create good chances, and I think that DAWHAN and JEBALI were able to create good chances to take the lead, but I think that the way we started the second half and conceding goals at the start are things that we really need to avoid, and I think that unless the whole team understands these types of games a little more, the team's maturity will not improve."

Q: "You said that the start of the second half was not good. What specifically did you think was not good? And what caused the game to fall apart after that?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "I think we needed to go into the second half with a higher intensity. I think there was an atmosphere of, 'We'll be able to do something,' so we needed to tighten that up and play with more intensity from the start, so that we could surpass our opponents. As for the question of why the match fell apart, we had to go on the offensive, but we didn't create many solid chances in the second half, and I think we lost our balance. In that situation, the opponent had a player who stayed up front, and the ball went to that player, and they had good decisiveness, so I think that's why they scored four goals. Looking at it all, I think Kashima was better than us in the second half, and although 0-4 was a painful defeat, as I've said since the first day, I want to fight with all my might for this team and for our fans and supporters."

Q: "It looked like you put Musashi SUZUKI on the right wing at first. Could you tell us why that was and whether you had prepared for that position?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "No, rather than preparing for that, I just wanted to send someone forward, so I put Musashi on the wing with the aim of sending another player forward along with JEBALI. In the meantime, the opponent's block itself was compact, so we needed someone to deal with crosses, and this time I used Suzuki on the right with the intention of sending someone in when we were going to send a cross from Takao."
