"Adailton"
"I thought today's game would be a difficult one, and it turned out to be just that. There were several players making their first appearance in this tournament, but I think everyone gave 100% or more of their strength. It was a victory that we won together. We will rest well and prepare for the final round."

(How did you approach the game?)
"There was a player who made their first starting appearance in this tournament, including myself, but we all prepared so that we could achieve good results no matter who played. It was great to be able to win with the strength of the whole team."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I was able to calmly score while dribbling and carefully watching the GK's situation because I received a good pass from player Shina."

"Keigo Higashi"
(We ended the group stage with a victory. Looking back on the game)
"Players who haven't played in the game so far have started and the whole team fought together. There was also the situation in Shanghai, but I think it was very important that we won and advanced to the next round."

(Looking back at the scene of the opening goal)
"Adailton made a good run and Hinaida timed his pass perfectly to score the goal for us."
However, there were still other chances, so we have to make sure to take them. Still, I think it was good that we were able to advance to the next round today."

(After taking the lead, the game became a close battle. What did you discuss as a team?)
"We knew that the opponent was a good team with talented players, even though they haven't won in this tournament. We respected them."
There were times when we were under pressure, but we managed to hold on and win with a clean sheet, which was great.

(Excitement for the next match has been decided to advance to the final tournament)
"I want to do my best to play as many games as possible here in Qatar. I want to show many games to the Tokyo fans and supporters who are cheering for us in front of the TV."

"Tsuyoshi WATANABE"
(During the time when we were under attack, what kind of response did you have in mind?)
"In this tournament, every team will score if we give them an opportunity, so we were conscious of not giving any openings by communicating and defending together during those times."

(Led the DF line, but how was the feeling?)
"They were a strong opponent, so I thought it was important to use our voices and defend together as a team. I think we were able to defend well by communicating with Tanba and each other."

(Did you know the results of other venues during the game?)
"I didn't know. I expected Shanghai to have a game where they would go for points, but I wasn't worried about it during our game."

(Towards the Final Tournament)
"I can't afford to lose. If I have the chance to play, I want to fight hard and grab as many wins as possible."

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"Today, a player with few opportunities to play made the game for us. In particular, Adailton's opening goal gave courage to the team."
Although we were concerned about the results of other venues, we wanted to secure the next point and advance to the group stage, but we were not allowed to have an easy game.
"I want to thank all the players for their hard work for the team's victory throughout the group stage."

(What was the intention behind changing the members, such as using players who are making their first appearance in this tournament?)
"I mentioned in a previous press conference that 'all the players who are accompanying us can confidently play in the game.' I believed that fresh players would be able to exert more strength than players who are fatigued from consecutive games. The players trusted me and they responded to that trust."

(The sense of accomplishment from winning the match after changing the members)
"We lost to Ulsan Hyundai FC and there were moments when we thought it would be difficult to advance to the group stage. However, we were able to rise up again and secure a spot in the final tournament. We have nothing to lose, so we want to approach the next match with determination."

(Thoughts on defensive players)
"In addition to young players, experienced player Niwa showed his strengths and led us. All four players played wonderfully. I think young players will gain great confidence not only from experience, but also from winning. By advancing to the final round, we will gain even more experience. I hope to see further growth there."

(What kind of words did you give to the players who made their first appearance in this tournament?)
"I told them to go for it and sent them off."

"Summary of Perth Glory, Garcia's Press Conference"
"Today's result was not a happy one."
After the resumption of the ACL, we have played 5 games in just 2 days, which has been very difficult. We have made a lot of effort to win, but we knew that today's opponent was the strongest.

Tokyo played very well and deserved the win.
I think the players of PARS played with concentration until the end.
