"Yoshito OKUBO"
"...didn't go in. It's my fault today.
　Sorry to all the fans and supporters.

　But this is FW. There are days like this.
　I have missed many shots and scored many goals so far.
　I want to reflect on today and score points to win the team next time.
　Switch and keep going towards the next goal.

(What was the scene when the pass came from Utaka?)
There was an opposing DF in front of me, and the field was slippery, so I couldn't make a good connection.
　It must be reflected on.

　Above all, there were more opportunities than ever before.
　It was all counters, but if we can score there, it will also give confidence to the team. I can't help but feel that if I score...

(About the combination with CACA)
CACA can keep the ball and see the surroundings.
　I think there is no problem.

(How to score a goal without a counter?)
Even if we get stuck in the middle, there have been many times when we can create a big chance by switching to the opposite side... Sometimes, just one pass can completely change the situation.
　It is also a personal issue, but if that can be done, I think we can see how we want to fight as a team. It should get better."

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
"I am sorry and disappointed that we lost, but I also think there were new gains during the break period."
One is the attacking aspect. I myself have been receiving the ball between opponents and increasing the opportunities to make vertical passes to the front line.
　Another aspect is defense. I think there were few situations where we were scrambling even when we couldn't steal the ball.
　Improved as a team by being able to play a calm game.

(As for the role of turning on the switch of the attack, which was being held in the center of Yokohama FM?)
Vertical passes have become possible.
　As a challenge, after putting it in, if you receive another return and can use it from there, the side should have opened up.
　If we can break through the center, that would be great, but when we can't, we need to expand to the sides. Improving that accuracy is also a personal challenge for me. I want to work on that.

(There were moments when the pass during the counter got caught?)
That's the 'challenge' pass. I'm aiming for the 'decisive' moment if I can get through there. The accuracy of that is my own problem.

What did you think about the attacking movements around the counter? Did it seem like they were attacking with similar speed and timing?
I want to discuss more with my teammates about whether to pass the ball earlier or to draw the opponent's defenders before passing.

(There are often times when passes do not come to the top two when holding the ball?)
There may also be parts where we are not fully utilizing the abilities of the previous players, and not fully utilizing them as a team.
　However, if the situation is like today, it will become a back and forth battle at some point, and it will turn into a counterattack. It is also true that we were able to create chances there.
　I myself thought it was my job to delay the opponent's counter and pick up the second ball.
　If we continue to play this kind of soccer, it will be necessary to score on the counter.
　"I believe that by increasing that number, we can also increase our score."

"Press Conference Summary by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA"
"Losing 0-1 is extremely frustrating. However, this result is our own doing, so we must all accept it and work together. And while losing in front of our home fans and supporters is a huge blow, we have no choice but to move forward and continue to do our best."
When playing against Marinos, the game often becomes a battle of patience. The scenes of conceding goals are often due to our own mistakes. We lost a goal by pulling the throw-in ball back and getting it stolen. We should have thought about moving the ball forward firmly during that time.
There were several scenes where the opponent pulled back and broke the block, but in the end, we couldn't open the goal, which means there is still something missing.
There were some good parts in the attack, but the goal was far away today.
There will be another Emperor's Cup soon, but we can play the game at Ajinomoto Stadium, so we want to show a strong performance in front of our fans and supporters.

"Q&A"
Q=What were the successful points of the attack?

"When we pushed the opponent, we were able to attack from the side through Utaka and create scenes where we could also involve another player and take a shot."
Tada Shoya, Keigo, and Yoshito are all like that, but they receive the ball in between, carry it, and there is a feeling of taking one more step from there, but they were able to produce the content they have been doing in training. It's meaningless if we can't score goals, but we want to continue doing that.
Marinos is a team with a strong defense and excellent counterattacks, but I think one of the reasons for today's defeat was losing in a battle of patience.

"Yokohama FM - Erick MOMBAERTS Manager's Press Conference Summary"
"We wanted to possess the ball and control it firmly. We were able to do that especially in the second half. I think it was logical that we were able to connect to the goal."


Q=What are the defensive measures and instructions for the second half?
"There were no specific instructions given for defense or offense."
To have a good defense, it is necessary to firmly close the middle, and this is something that we are conscious of and practice regularly.
Tokyo especially speeds up from inside vertical passes, so it was particularly important today.
"Attacking with speed on the side is one of our key points in our attack, so it is important for us to train for it regularly. And we want to continue improving the quality of this attack in every game."
