It was a one-shot match, so I’m glad I won.
We were in control from the first half, but we were able to score a goal even though the goal was a little far away. In the second half, we kept our pace and scored the second goal, which is good. At the end, the opponents also came out with players who had been in the starting line-up in the most recent game, and they powered up.
Players who have had little or no opportunity to play have played for a long time, but they have been tough enough.
We want to put our all into the match once morest Tokyo Verdy in four days, so that we can continue to build momentum.

Overall, we had more chances, so we still have a lot to improve in both offense and defense, so we want to change things up for the next league match. I tried to turn the situation that looked like a chance into an opportunity, and I was overwhelmed by the momentum of the opponent, so I was able to score one goal. I have to do the place.
2 goals were good. However, there were scenes where I might have created more chances, so I want to pursue it.
If we win well next time, it will be an important match that will bring us closer to the top. I want to go ahead with good preparations with everyone.
