Head Coach Poyatos: "I'm very happy. I think we were able to finish the game in a really good way. At the same time, I'm glad that we were able to deliver a victory to everyone by winning at home, and that we were able to press defensively as we intended. Niigata really have a great Head Coach and are a great team, and I think both sides created decisive moments in attack. Given that, I really think that today was a day that we deserved to win, and I want to praise the players from the bottom of my heart. At the same time, I'm very pleased that we were able to bring joy to our fans and supporters."

Q: "Although we only scored one point, I think we showed a much bigger lead than that. I think we played a unified game with both offense and defense, but do you feel confident that we were able to show the type of play you're aiming for this season?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, I personally think that it's very important for offense and defense to be unified. That's what I was aiming for last year, but it didn't go well. However, it's important not to think of offense and defense as separate, but to play as one, as one. In addition to that, aggressiveness is also very important. I think this will change depending on the opponent, but the players really understand this idea of ​​this year, and I want to continue doing it."

Q: "Usami has scored a goal from a penalty kick for the second consecutive game. In the interview yesterday, you said that you wanted to "enjoy Takashi," but did you enjoy it?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, I really enjoyed it. At the same time, I don't really like talking about one player, but the name Takashi USAMI has been known since he was young, and I've known him for a long time as a really good player who always surprises us. So I want to support him, and I want to continue to support him together with the team so that he can enjoy soccer again. Of course, I'm happy to see him shining as a team, not just as an individual, but as a team. The focus was on him with the penalty kick today, but I'm really happy that we won as a team today."

Q: "The pressure from the front line was very effective, and the back line was also pushing up nicely. Nakatani was also effective in the back line, so what is your assessment of that?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "I don't really like to talk about one player, but I think Nakatani is a great fit for our style of football. He has the ability to go forward and at the same time has a good grasp of space, so I think he's a great fit for the team. So I think he's providing good support to the team, and at the same time, we on the staff want to continue to support and help him grow."

Q: "I think last year was the last year, but after a long time without a win, you were able to win at home, and I'm sure the supporters were in a great mood. How do you feel about this win after such a long time?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. I felt and thought about that very much myself. However, I really want to take it positively, and last year, the past cannot be changed, and the future cannot be created right now. I think that the present is what connects to the future, so I want to walk firmly with the team in the present. At the same time, both teams today, Niigata was a really great team, and I think that the fans and supporters were able to fully experience the joy of football, and we still have a "debt" from last year, or rather, a "loan" to the fans and supporters, but we still have a "debt" for not delivering a victory, so in that sense, I would like to continue to work with the team to deliver as many victories as possible to the fans and supporters at Panasonic Stadium Suita and have them enjoy themselves."
