【Halftime】
Coach Anma's Comments
"Let's support quickly when the ball is played to the front line. Defense should clearly mark. Keep trying and let's seize our one chance."

【Second Half】
Neither team made substitutions, and the second half begins.
Then, YS Yokohama started to actively press from the front right from the start, beginning to take control.
Although shots were allowed in the 46th and 50th minutes, the goalkeeper caught them and did not concede a goal.
Tokyo advances the ball but the attacks are single strikes, and as they receive counterattacks from YS Yokohama, their line begins to drop gradually.
In the 58th minute, Tokyo is looking for a chance to counterattack. In the opponent's central area, Insoo YU seizes the opponent's mistake, takes the ball, and passes it to Muriqui.
Muriqui approached the goal from the center but missed the chance as he couldn't take the shot.
As both sides struggled to find a breakthrough, the 68th minute arrived.
When Muriqui spreads to the right side, he connects with Hiraoka and Yanagi and passes to Yukino. Yukino then tries to connect directly to Ha DAESUNG, who flowed into the penalty area, but it just misses.
In the 72nd minute, they approached the goal from the left side. Nozawa became the starting point and connected to Muriqui, who took a shot after cutting in.
This is blocked by the DF, but Yukino picks up the loose ball, evades the opposing DF, and as he moves forward, he takes a carefully aimed shot that goes straight to the GK.
In the 74th minute, just after approaching the goal, they advanced from the left side and created a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.
When the defender jumped in to block, they ended up bringing down the opposing player, resulting in a penalty kick decision.
They scored first by putting this in the left corner.
Tokyo brings in Kiji and Uchida one after another to boost the attack.
Furthermore, Matsumoto was brought in to replace Insoo YU, who was injured due to contact with an opposing player.
The biggest chance for Tokyo, who intensified their offensive, came in the 85th minute.
Muriqui broke through behind the opponent's defensive line and created a one-on-one situation with the opponent's GK, but the opponent's GK made a good save.
In the 88th minute, Yoshimoto passed the ball to Yanagi on the right side, who then made a cutback to Matsuo, who was charging into the center of the goal with his left foot.
Matsuoka heads the ball after getting behind the opponent's defender, but is once again thwarted by the opponent's goalkeeper's excellent save.
In the last play of additional time at 90+4 minutes, GK Ue participated in the attack for a left corner kick.
Kono's kick was aimed at Yoshimoto, who entered the near side, and although Yoshimoto tried to volley the loose ball again, it went high above the goal just as time was up.
Lost 0-1

【Summary of Coach Yasuma's Press Conference】
"Thank you to the fans and supporters who stopped by before the Shonan match in this heat and cheered for the U-23 team.
Regarding the match, at halftime, the players understood among themselves that the opponent was trying to create chances by playing the ball behind our defensive line, leading to some confusion. They agreed to communicate clearly and handle that situation. From a game perspective, we were confirming when to turn the 0-0 score into 1-0. However, we couldn't hold back and conceded a penalty kick, and I hope this experience will be valuable for the future. In terms of offense, although we managed to get behind the opponent's high defensive line, a pass from Hiraoka to Muriqui early in the game was off by about one meter, preventing us from scoring. Also, the low number of shots taken clearly highlights an issue with finishing accuracy. We aim to improve this by repeatedly training to replicate the same feeling as in the game, thereby raising our quality. This will surely lead to victories and allow us to respond to the fans and supporters who come to watch us, even on the same day as the J1 League matches. We want to turn today's experience into growth and continue making daily efforts."

《Ha DAESUNG》
「(How was it to play with Insoo YU?) It was my first time playing in a match with Insoo YU, and there were some parts that didn't quite match, but we were able to resolve it by communicating during the game.
(How was the collaboration with other players?) There were times when young players demanded things from me, and I also had demands for the young players, but we were able to communicate our needs to each other during halftime and progress through the match. (How is your condition?) I had been in a situation where I was alternating between playing and not playing in several J1 matches, so for today's game, I felt I needed to improve my game sense and physical condition, and that's why I participated.
