"As a team, I don't think it was a bad game overall. We were able to endure without rushing the opponent's time."
We were able to keep possession of the ball and create good opportunities.
We want to face the challenge of not conceding until the end and not being able to win without scoring.

(There were chances from set plays, but?)
In J3, the opposing players are often taller, so I think it's difficult to score if I can't kick the ball precisely.
I want to practice diligently and improve my accuracy.

(We attacked boldly from the left side, but) we talked about everyone having the attitude of heading towards the goal no matter what.
I was always aiming for a goal if I had the chance, and I was conscious of the fact that if I could break through individually, it would definitely lead to a chance.

(What did you focus on with a young team in terms of average age?)
As I, YAMADA and Insoo YU become the older generation, we have to lead the U-18 players and also be conscious of using our voices to lead the team in our play.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
I am determined to win every game, so I want to go for the full 3 points.」

"Kazunori Takase Player"

"I think it was a waste that we couldn't score when we had the ball in the first half."
As an individual, I think it is my job to not concede goals while the team struggles to score, so I believe that conceding a goal is a reflection of my own lack of ability.

(J League debut, first start?)
I was nervous when I entered the stadium by bus, but once I got into the game, that nervousness turned into a good tension and I was able to focus on playing.

(There were some good saves, but how did it feel?)
The defense worked really hard, so it felt like we were protecting the goal together.
However, I couldn't connect to the win in the end, and I thought it might be because of the difference between players like Go Hatano and Hirosue.

（What is your enthusiasm for the next game?）
If I play in the game, I will definitely win.」

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"I would like to express my gratitude for being able to arrive at the stadium and have young players play in such a wonderful stadium."
In addition, many FC Tokyo fans and supporters came all the way to Kyushu, and approached the game with a grateful mindset.

We were conscious of how young players can challenge against highly skilled teams in terms of matches.

In the previous match against Morioka, we had a theme of entering the penalty area multiple times and going for the finish, and while we were able to enter a considerable number of times, we were unable to finish with a shot.
This week, we aimed to score against Kitakyushu during the game and the defense was able to keep a clean sheet in the previous week, so we approached the game with the theme of keeping a clean sheet and winning again this week.

The players fought well, there were times when they moved the ball, and there were also moments when they created scoring opportunities, but unfortunately they couldn't finish them.
Gradually, our legs stopped and there was also the pressure from Kitakyushu in front of the goal, resulting in us conceding the first goal and unfortunately ending with a disappointing result.
