Director Takakura "Here is the final of the Tokyo Olympics ¥"
Director Asako Takakura said, "I'm glad I was able to win by scoring 7 points, but there were some conspicuous misjudgments and low accuracy, so I still have to raise it. In the defensive part, I put pressure and positioning. I felt that the part was very good. I would like to reach the final of the Tokyo Olympics here at a wonderful stadium. "
Sugazawa "We will continue to appeal and improve our team strength."
Yuika Sugasawa, who was active in the hat-trick, said, "Every goal was good, but I had many other chances, so I'd like to make corrections so that I can make a firm decision. I want to be able to improve the team strength while continuing to appeal. "
Hasegawa "I want to improve the quality"
Yui Hasegawa, who scored one point, said, "I was good at the goal, but I had hit the opponent with another chance, so I want to be able to decide even in such a place. I want to improve the quality because there is one. "
