[Player and Coach Comments]

《Go HATANO》
I believe that winning without conceding a goal will be a plus for the team.
As an individual, there were many situations where the opponent had chances to shoot, and there were times when my kicks did not connect with my teammates, so I have many issues to address, and I want to clear them one by one and build upon them.

(What about the scoreless victory at home games?)
I want to play at a much higher level, so I want to make today's performance a given and work hard to be able to compete in J1.

(What were you conscious of during the match?)
I think I was able to handle crosses, which is one of my strengths, with confidence, so I feel good about that.

(Was it difficult condition-wise since you returned from the U-20 World Cup just three days ago?)
The shooting range of foreign players is very wide, so even after returning, I kept that in mind and approached today's match while always thinking about maintaining a high level.
I think watching the U-20 World Cup from the bench was an incredibly valuable experience.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I want to keep a clean sheet again and contribute to the team's victory.

Yoshiatsu OIJI
"We struggled a bit at the start, but I think we began to function as a team little by little after Insoo YU's goal."
The second half was also a tough match, but I think we managed to hold on, centered around the DF line.

(This is the third match of the season, how is your match sense, etc.?)
It was my first official match in a while, but I am starting to get used to it little by little, and I have become able to play for 90 minutes physically.
However, there are many challenges regarding the quality of play, so I would like to improve it further.

Are you fighting again with the FC Tokyo emblem on your chest?
I have received a lot of support from FC Tokyo.
Also, wearing the FC Tokyo emblem and being able to fight alongside everyone is a very significant thing for me.
I am very happy to share today's victory with my teammates and all the fans and supporters.

(What are your thoughts on the next match?)
I hope we can win the next game and keep the momentum going, so I appreciate your support.

Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference
"With good weather and ground conditions, we are truly grateful to have about 2,100 fans and supporters come out to join us."
I think it was very good that we were able to win the home game.

However, in terms of content, we caused a major crisis due to our own mistakes, such as misdirected passes during the buildup and not being aware of our surroundings. There were many basic errors, and I think it was a match where either team could have won.

I think the awareness of aiming for the goal has increased in the last two or three matches, so I believe that aspect was good.
