■Director Takayuki Kiyama
First of all, I would like to thank the fans and supporters who created such a wonderful atmosphere. thank you very much.
I was hoping for a good result, but I’m sorry that I couldn’t give it as a present.
All I can say about the match is that we should focus on ourselves and try our best to raise our level a little more.The game itself wasn’t bad, we played well, but it still wasn’t enough to win. Well, just pursue that.
I also want to do my best for the next one.

■Ryo Takeuchi
They created a really good atmosphere at home, but my biggest regret is that I couldn’t live up to their expectations.
We entered the game with the goal of being able to consistently supply good balls to the front line when our opponent was slowing down a bit. We all created a good period in the second half, so we just had to be able to finish it off.
I really felt in the second half that we needed to step up another gear. Also, as a captain, I made that kind of noise, and everyone got on board, so I wanted to somehow get a result, but I still don’t have enough strength myself, and I have a series of matches coming up soon, so I’d like to move on to the next one. .
It felt strange to play against my old club Shimizu, but I am an Okayama player myself, and I came prepared to help Okayama get promoted, so even though I was late to the start, I will work hard for the team from now on. I want to contribute to promotion.
The only thing that will erase today’s frustration is the next game. I know it’s going to be a tough match, but I think we can only get promoted if we overcome it, so I want to do well.
In order to get promoted to J1, there will be many tough games and games with difficult times, but we will not be able to get promoted unless we all unite and do one or two things better than that, so we all work together from practice to I want to become a good team by working together and building on our strengths.
