Interview with Kento Miyaura
T: How do you feel looking back on the match?
Miyaura: I was really motivated for today's match, and I'm disappointed that we lost. I think we had a chance to win, and we had a chance to take the set. I feel like we played a wasteful match because we couldn't score.
T: What do you think was lacking?
Miyaura: Personally, I think I need to do a better job when the opponent's block is tight. There were some difficult parts, but I think there were some parts I need to do a better job of.
T: In today's match, outside hitter Kai entered the court with two substitutions (switching the setter for opposite and the opposite for setter at the same time). Does Kai regularly practice playing opposite?
Miyaura: No, I don't do it very often, it's really just occasionally. But even so, I think it's really reliable that he can do that much when he's out there.
T: Unfortunately, we lost the cup match, but there are still league matches remaining. Please tell us your enthusiasm for the remaining league matches.
Miyaura: The next match, and every match, is going to be really important, so I want to prepare as best I can for the next match.
