■Director Takayuki Kiyama
First of all, I would like to thank all of our supporters who have come this far, and all of you who have supported us on DAZN. And I would like to sincerely thank you for your support throughout the year. thank you very much.
As for the content of the match, we had a difficult start as we allowed our opponent to score with our own careless play, but from then on we had time to play our own way and created several chances to take advantage of them. I decided on one. In the first half, we were able to get to the edge of the box, so we wanted to increase the plays where we put in the ball with all our might, the plays where we break the ball at the end, and the plays where we finish off our shots, but we didn’t see any increase in those areas today either.
In the second half, the opponents also had the desire to win and it was hard to tell which way the match would go, and the game gradually became more open. I still tried to do my best, but I couldn’t push through in the second half. The players who hadn’t had many opportunities to play in the past played well and tried to do their best, so I have no regrets about that. We worked hard this week to end the year with a win, but it’s disappointing and apologetic that we couldn’t win.
I told the players that this is another start for each of them. I want them to carry on what they have learned during this frustrating year, and I also want to carry this result forward into the next one.
Finally, I would like to once again thank you for your support over the past year. thank you very much.

Today, I stood on the pitch with a feeling of gratitude and the desire to do my best.
It’s not like I can do anything special, but I entered the competition trying to continue to play until the end with my strengths, such as aerial combat, which I’ve had in the past, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had an official match, and my personal feelings came into play, so I was a little flustered. It happened. I think that includes myself.
I wanted to somehow score from a set piece. He had one chance and touched the ball first, but it was disappointing that he couldn’t score. He went into the tournament thinking he could definitely win, and although he couldn’t finish it in the end, he gave it his all.
I want (the team) to continue to do what Fagiano does: single-mindedly, humbly, stubbornly, and straightforwardly.
Everyone is working hard, and I’m trying to do what I can even if I can’t compete, but I felt that what we weren’t able to win was a group of people fighting for their teammates, and if we could have shown a little more of that group spirit. It’s not about who is at fault.
Towards the end of the season, we lost some of our boldness. I felt like I was a little out of it today, but I wasn’t able to show the kind of dynamism that I had during the camp and the game against Iwata right after the season opener. Once we understand what the cause is, things will go well, but each person is doing his or her best, but when they are connected, even if someone makes a mistake, someone else quickly covers it up, and by repeating this, we become stronger. I hope we can become that kind of team, that kind of group.
