Head Coach Poyatos: "I think today's game was difficult. We weren't able to create a good development from the start, and we weren't able to maintain a good rhythm, especially in the build-up. The players who played today fought well and did what they were supposed to do, but injuries and other issues prevented us from building up well. We conceded a goal in the first half from the side, but we were making some adjustments in the final minutes of the first half and we were able to turn the tide, but we conceded a goal like that just when we felt we could have. We wanted to play our own game in the second half, but we conceded a goal like that and it made the game difficult. We need to switch gears and prepare for our next match against Verdy."

Q: "The Okayama players came at us hard when it came to the ball, so we seemed to be at a disadvantage. What do you think about that?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "I think that's correct. Their pace is their strength, and they're a physical team. They're a team that fights with a lot of spirit. I think that's a strength that they proved in the match against Kyoto. We need to learn from this and use it for the next match."

Q: "I think you've made some adjustments defensively, such as stretching out your defense in the opening game. This may overlap with the previous question, but after watching today's game, what kind of adjustments do you think are needed?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Well, in today's game, rather than being a defensive problem, I think we were lacking in how to hold the ball offensively and how to inflict damage. We are currently missing some important players due to injury, and I think that when they return we will be able to show a different side of ourselves."

Q: As Head Coach Poyatos said earlier, the lack of build-up was due to the presence of other players, so how will the team recover without Nakatani? Also, it's good for the team that Miura has returned to the bench for the first time in a year, but what are your thoughts on that?
Head Coach Poyatos: "Regarding the first issue, I think we need to improve various aspects of our current center backs, and the key to today's challenge was how to avoid the opponents pressing and playing with intensity. This will require talent, character, and a strong will to play without wavering, and I think we need to improve with the current players. As for the second issue, Genta, he still needs some time to play, but I think he can be a strength to the team, so I brought him on the bench today. As he said earlier, he was able to join the team for the first time in about a year, and I thought that this would be a good thing for him mentally in the future, so I brought him on."
