"It's really disappointing and frustrating to concede a goal."
　I think there were mistakes in two situations regarding the goals conceded.　
　One is about the sense of distance and preparation in front of the goal.
　If we had sensed the opponent's strength and speed a little earlier, we could have maintained a good distance and prepared ourselves, including our body positioning.
　The other thing is that I couldn't hold back the opponent during the struggle for possession while attacking.
　We couldn't apply pressure two or three times, and they advanced right up to our goal.
　However, there were two mistakes, but even so, I think there was a chance to catch up.
　Our team should change now, and I really feel the potential to be able to change.
　The front line should be more aggressive, the back line stronger, and everyone should be able to change together. In that sense, it was a game that gave us a sense of achievement.

"I'm frustrated about losing. Especially since we ended without scoring..."

(Regarding today's offensive play)
I was conscious of both aggressively launching short counters after regaining possession and calmly circulating the ball while targeting the opponent's backline. Personally, I also made an effort to utilize the characteristics of the players on the pitch.
　There were actually chances, but I think the final accuracy is an issue.
　At the start, I had a great shooting opportunity myself, and I regret that I should have scored there.
　As a team, we have discussed how to fight for this match. I believe we have established a solid foundation.
　However, we cannot win if we do not score. We would like to discuss this again and make it a challenge for the next time.

Summary of the Press Conference by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA

"It is truly frustrating to lose any match, and I have indescribable feelings about it, but I want to think positively about various things and move forward. The supporters have also backed us until the end, but I am disappointed that we could not deliver a victory as a gift."
I think we did well to apply pressure on the opponent from the start of the game, and we had several scoring opportunities. However, whether we convert those chances or not can determine the outcome of the game. Conversely, we allowed the opponent to score from their one chance or counterattack, which shows we still have room for improvement. That said, compared to the defeat in the previous match, there are various aspects that can be viewed positively, and I want to keep my head up and move forward towards the next match.

(Which part do you perceive positively?)
The players did everything they intended for a full 90 minutes. However, this time, we couldn't break through when the block was set up, and we couldn't execute various things like the passes and dribbles from the final line.
There were parts that were done well, but I think there were also parts that were not done well.
The positive aspect is that we were able to progress in the game with just one goal conceded amidst various open developments. Additionally, the players have been training positively without getting discouraged over the past week. I see these points in a positive light.

Summary of the press conference by Urawa's coach Mihailo PETROVIC

FC Tokyo's matches are always tough, and today was no exception.
I think that the previous matches of FC Tokyo had better content, but today's game became a match where both sides ran and fought.
We faced Shanghai in the ACL on Tuesday, and after a very tough match, we were able to run, fight, and secure a solid victory in our battle for 3 points as professionals.
Today the temperature rose, and the players were quite exhausted, but I want to commend the attitude of the players who fought until the end in the midst of consecutive matches.
