Head Coach Poyatos: "I think the game was really rhythmic and intense, and we struggled a lot, especially early on. Of course, the opponent's style was to play long balls to the centre-forwards, so they had to move the ball in a way that made fewer mistakes, and that's why we couldn't get into a good flow. In the second half, we made some adjustments and tried to bring the wingers in and move the full-backs up, and little by little the flow came our way, and we were able to get a player sent off and get close to the goal. At the end, Kosei TANI did a good job of helping the team, so I think it was a good performance."

Q: "I think it was expected that Machida would use long balls in the first half, but what do you think was the reason you were unable to respond to that?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "I think the answer is simple. As for the opposing team, Machida, I know Shota FUJIO, and they have FW in the front line who are good at playing that kind of football, including Fujio, and they don't think about anything else and just play that style, so I think it's natural that the flow of the game is in their favor. As time went on, I think it was good that Shin (Shinnosuke NAKATANI) and Genta (Miura) did their jobs well."
