■Director Takayuki Kiyama
First of all, I would like to thank the fans and supporters who created such a wonderful atmosphere. A thousand thanks.
I was hoping for a good result, but I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give it.
All I can say about the match is that we should focus on ourselves and do our best to raise our level a little more. The match itself wasn’t bad, we played well, but it wasn’t enough to win. just pursue that.
I want to do my best for others too.

They created a really nice atmosphere at home, but my biggest regret is that I couldn’t meet their expectations.
We went into the game with the goal of being able to consistently provide good balls to the front line when our opponent slowed down a bit. We all created a good period in the second half, so all we had to do was finish the game.
In the second half I really felt we needed to change gear. Moreover, as captain, I made that noise and everyone got on board, so I wanted to somehow get a result, but I myself don’t have enough strength yet and I have a series of matches soon. so I would like to move on to the next one.
It was strange to play against my old club Shimizu, but I am also an Okayama player and I came prepared to help Okayama get promoted, so even though I was late at the start, I will work hard to the team from now on. I want to contribute to the promotion.
The only thing that will erase today’s frustration is the next match. I know it will be a tough match, but I think we can only get promotion if we overcome it, so I want to do well.
To get promoted to J1, there will be a lot of difficult games and games with difficult moments, but we won’t be able to get promoted unless we all come together and do one or two things better than this, so we all work together right from training . a I want to become a good team by working together and using our strengths.
