Head Coach Poyatos: "I think the players really played a good game. Of course, I'm very disappointed and disappointed that we lost. Up until about the 15th minute of the first half, the opponent was picking up the second ball, but after the 15th minute, we were able to get the flow going and create good chances. I'm very disappointed about that goal. We made some good adjustments at halftime, and in the second half the players played well and with a clear intention. Because we were playing against Machida, there were times when we couldn't play comfortably, but I think the players did a good job. I think the fans and supporters, and the players themselves, are all very disappointed right now, and as the person in charge, I'm really disappointed that we couldn't win this game, and I'm as disappointed and sad as everyone else."

Q: "Today, you played in a 4-4-2 formation, which created a diamond in the midfield. I think the three defensive midfielders were a way to counter Machida's second balls, or at least a defensive purpose, but on the other hand, Head Coach Poyatos has said that he doesn't have a real winger, so I think today's formation was also aimed at attacking in the absence of a winger. Please tell us what your aims were today, if you can. "
Head Coach Poyatos: "I personally think that everything you said was just as it should be. We positioned the defensive midfielders in that way because we wanted to pick up second balls properly. The opposing wingbacks and shadow players Nishimura and Soma also made plays to exploit space, and Oh Sehun also made plays to show his presence up front, so we placed Neta (Ravi) firmly in front of the defensive line to control that area, and we wanted to control it with the three defensive midfielders. The opposing team also put pressure on us from the front, so we aimed to create a starting point for our front line and attack those areas with (Usami) Takashi and others. I think the players did a good job according to the plan, and I really wanted to win this game, but I also want to learn from this and use it in the next opportunity. We have made plans for today, taking into account the situation where we don't have wingers. "

Q: "I think that in this formation, you were targeting the sides of the opponent's three-back line quite a bit in your attacks, but would you have liked to see a bit more movement from an inside player, or one of the three defensive midfielders, to the front line?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. I wanted to respond flexibly to that, and aim for that while connecting with the fullbacks. Of course, (MITO) Rin and (Suzuki) Tokuma were also aiming for that, but I think it was quite difficult to get Tokuma to play deep, and I also wanted to get a good balance. So I instructed the fullbacks (Handa) Riku and (Kurokawa) Keisuke to take up a higher position in the second half."

Q: "As for this system, will you continue to use it in the future as a system without a winger, or was it just for the match against Machida?"
"I'd like to analyze it thoroughly and make a decision on that point,"Head Coach Poyatos.

Q: "Today, you lined up JEBALI and Humet for a long time, but in order to make Humet fit better, what do you think will be important going forward, be it the form or the time?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "I think he really needs time. Of course, there are areas where he needs to work more and more on teamwork and cooperation with his teammates, and I think we need to take the time to work on that in practice and in games, and little by little he will start to get into the groove. He is an important member of the team, and I think he is not a player who tries to do things on his own, but everyone recognizes that he is an important member of the team and will continue to do his best."
