"Kazunori YOSHIMOTO"
(It was a game we wanted to win.)
"I think it was a game we wanted to win and had to win. We have conceded goals in two consecutive games from set pieces, so we need to reflect on that. We can't keep up with the top teams if we don't win games like today's. However, there were some good parts and we want to continue playing like this."
(What about the fear of the opponent having possession in the midfield?)
"Today, we allowed the opponent to have possession to a certain extent. We talked about working together with the players on the wings and in the midfield to eliminate the final pass. There were some dangerous moments, but I don't think we were broken down too many times."

"Yoshito OKUBO"
(How was the atmosphere at Todoroki?)
"The atmosphere created by both teams' fans and supporters was amazing."
(It was the first game in a while, right?)
"I was tired. But if I don't play, I won't get my game sense back or my physical strength won't return, so I have to keep playing."
(There were some close scenes, though)
"Yes, there were. But in the counter scenes, I wish we had more time to think. If we could move forward and carry the ball like in the scene where we took a middle shot, we could have more options."
(The team changed systems, but how do you feel since returning?)
"I think it was good because we were able to play a good game until the end. What happened at the end couldn't be helped."

"Press Conference Summary by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA"
"It's very disappointing that we couldn't win, and we have to reflect on it. In the first half, there were scenes where we were pushed back, but everyone did a good job of defending while closing the center. In the second half, we switched gears and showed the attitude to go forward again, and I think it was good that we were able to score a goal."
However, there are many areas to improve, such as scoring one more goal and stopping the consecutive goals from set plays.
Both teams' fans and supporters created a good atmosphere, and although we wanted to give a win to Tokyo supporters, we want to reflect on not being able to do so.
There were several scenes where two or three people were able to enter the goal, so I want to continue doing this.

"Q&A"
Q=I think we have achieved the best performance we can with the current system, but we still can't win consecutive games. How do you feel about that?"
"I still think that not being able to win is a sign that we, as a group, still have a long way to go. Of course, we are creating chances to score, but not being able to score a second goal is causing the team to struggle later on. In soccer, winning 1-0 means we have to focus on set pieces and make sure we win. I have asked the players to try different things and make changes in order to activate the team in various ways. We haven't been able to win, but I feel like we can do more and the players also feel that way. I have told them to stay positive and keep trying different things."

Q=I think there was strength in the ball contest in the middle and sharpness in the last counter, but how does the coach himself feel?
"The three of them are doing very well in the battle for second balls in the midfield, and also (Kento) Hashimoto and (Yone) Yonehara have been showing great speed when they win the ball and move forward (to the front line), and even the players who came on as substitutes (like Kensuke) Nagai have raised the intensity. However, although they have been creating good chances with their final passes and shots, we need to figure out how to turn those into goals and wins for the team. Of course, not just the players in the front line, but also the build-up from the back needs to be smoother, and I want us to move the ball with a faster tempo as a whole. I really want to continue with this power of having two or three players in front of the goal."

Q=This week, there was also an announcement of Ishikawa's retirement, but he also mentioned that he wanted to give the team some motivation. Can you tell us if there was any impact on today's game?
"Nao's announcement of his decision was a surprising event, as there were many people within the team who did not know about it. His desire to step up for the team is truly felt by the entire team. The players are working hard, carrying that feeling on their backs, determined to run with it no matter what. Everyone is looking at Nao's decision, his past achievements, and his struggles with injuries. Especially the 11 players who played today, the 18 players who made the team, and even the players who didn't make the team, I believe they all came together and faced the game with unity."

"Kawasaki - Toru Oniki's Press Conference Summary"
"First of all, it was frustrating to not be able to win in front of many supporters who came for the Tama River Classico. As for the game, I think we showed a patient fight this week, but we conceded goals and got countered a few times even after equalizing. We need to tighten our focus and fight together as a team. It's really disappointing that we couldn't win today."

"Q&A"
Q=I thought you were expecting Moriya to come in and make a middle shot or kick, but he ended up making an assist. Can you tell us about the coach's intentions and evaluation?
"He has been in really good shape lately. He can receive and shoot from a tight space, and he can add accents in various places. I put out the same expectations as you just said."

Q=I think it's important to switch between offense and defense as a team, but how do you feel about that part of today's game?
"I think we were able to play very aggressively in the first half. We weren't able to do it in the second half, but we still need to switch between offense and defense. We need to think a little more about our attacks. It's difficult to catch up even if we switch, so I want us to play with a good balance as a team one more time."
