《Keigo HIGASHI》
"It was a match we had to win. We have another game against the same opponent in two days, so I want to prepare well again to ensure we can win next time."

(The accuracy of the final finish was a challenge in the match)
"We can only continue to do it with confidence."
I want to keep challenging myself, not be passive, and use the reflections from today's match to connect to the next one.

(As an individual, this was my second match since returning in the Sendai game)
I believe I will improve with each match, and I truly feel the joy of being able to play soccer.
I am hungry for the match and hungry for victory.
I think everyone needs to be more ambitious and be more focused on winning.

(Once again, we will have a match against the same opponent in two days)
"It's not often that we have the opportunity to play against the same opponent in just two days."
I think it's a chance to repay the debt from today right away.
We will firmly switch as a team to prepare for the next match and definitely want to achieve victory.

"At first, everyone was a bit stiff in their play. I think there were parts where we were overwhelmed by the unique atmosphere of the ACL."

(Impression of the opponent)
"We were able to create chances, so rather than the opponent's issues, I feel that we lacked our own quality and ideas."

(Things I focused on during the position change)
"I was able to bring the ball up from center back, but I felt that there was not enough buildup in midfield, so I was conscious of that while playing."

(To win against the same opponent in two days)
"I think it's important to play boldly and with courage. I want to actively receive the ball and aim for the goal."

《Shuto ABE》
(Reflecting on today's match)
I wanted to accumulate points in the first match after the break, but it is very disappointing. Ultimately, we lost 0-1, but since the battle in the group stage continues, I believe we can only switch gears and move forward.

(Impression of the opponent)
"They were a team with solid defense, putting their bodies on the line until the end, so I wanted to break through. Even though there were chances, we couldn't manage to score a goal."

(We will have a rematch in two days, but to win against this opponent)
I believe that we cannot win the match unless we win in the simple aspects of putting our bodies on the line and not losing in one-on-one situations.
Also, the opponent's defensive style was unique and not something seen in J-League teams, so we struggled. I feel that if we don't discuss and improve as a team, it will be difficult to score again next time. I want to make sure we score and keep the opponent's goals to zero to win next time.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference by Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"It is a very disappointing result, but we will face the same opponent again in two days."
I want to fight to make up for today's results in the next 90 minutes.

(How was the players' movement throughout the match?)
"Since it was the first match, there were players participating who were playing in the ACL for the first time, and some players were still not fully engaged in the tournament.
However, I believe that by fighting hard today, those players will be able to smoothly enter the next match.

(Was there difficulty in the first match after the restart?)
"I think there was.
However, Shanghai Shenhua has also filled the space well and fought in a way that prevents passes behind them.
We were able to create several scoring opportunities, so I want to make sure we capitalize on those in the next match.

(It will be a rematch in two days, but what kind of adjustments are needed in the attack?)
"We were able to create the attacking shape several times."
I want to work on the details, such as the last pass and the passes before that, while communicating with each other to align our efforts.

What do you think about facing the same opponent after two days?
I think we have a good understanding of what kind of teams we are.
There are difficult parts, but this year's ACL does not have away goals, so we believe we are at the halfway point of a 180-minute battle, and we want to fight to turn things around in the second half of 90 minutes.

(What is your impression of Shanghai?)
"As expected, they played a physical style of football."
In the moment of conceding a goal, we carelessly gave away a penalty after they launched a long ball.
I felt that this was a battle in Asia, and I believe it is the ACL, so I want to properly address the issues that arose today in this short period and prepare for the next match.
