[Player/Coach Comments]

"Hyun Soo JANG"
(What was your impression of playing in the FC Tokyo uniform after a long time?)
"Today, I was able to play in the same uniform as my teammates and win, making it a day I will never forget. I am also very happy to be able to deliver a victory to the fans and supporters."

(What about collaboration?)
"I had injuries and couldn't play in games, but I watched the games from the outside and imagined my own play. Today, I think it was good that I was able to embody that play image myself."

(What about the cooperation between Maruyama and Yoshimoto?)
"Without reviewing the footage, I cannot say anything specific, but I think it was a big step for the team to be able to win by fighting desperately and running desperately, not just those two, but everyone, to win."

"Ryoichi MAEDA"
(This season, it was my first goal in the league match)
"Of course I am happy, but the most important thing is that the team won."

(It was my first start in a while, but how do you feel about your performance throughout the game?)
"If I had to say, I wanted to score one more goal. There were various challenges in terms of play, but I think the most important thing is that we were able to win today."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I think it was a lucky goal."

(I think it's a great sense to take a position there)
"Hirokazu's ball was really good, and I think it was thanks to Kazu for collapsing well."

(Will today's victory be a turning point?)
"We have to make this a turning point. We want to continue to make an impression through practice and be able to start in the next game."

"Press Conference Summary by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA"
"The players showed their true patience and put in the effort during training, and while there were both good and bad moments, we were able to secure all three points together."
"We will have consecutive games, but we will make sure to prepare our condition well and do our best to deliver a victory to our fans and supporters at home."

"Q&A"
Q=There was a scene where the positions of players were changed during the game, but "Omiya took a form where four players were pressing forward, and from there, various players came down fluidly and ran diagonally into open spaces, and I feel like we were able to respond well. In the second half, we have to reflect on the fact that we let them create scoring opportunities."
In terms of controlling the line, Hyun Soo JANG was very good, and we were able to do what we have been training for, such as Maruyama's build-up and Yoshimoto's ability to bounce back. However, there are times when we are able to play with our own sense of distance, like in the scene where (Kosuke) OTA was almost left behind by Okui, and times when we are not able to do so, so we need to work on that more. As for defense, not just the three players in the back or the wide players like Muroya and Ota, but the whole team moved selflessly, so I want to continue doing this."

"Finally, it's a special day as Maeda has played his 400th J1 game. We won after a long time, so we'll do our best at home again."

"Summary of Omiya Akira ITO's Press Conference"
"First of all, I am very disappointed that we were not able to deliver a victory despite having many fans and supporters come to cheer us on for the weekday night game. I am truly sorry. We started off with a lot of energy and created a good flow, but after conceding a goal from a set piece in the middle of the game, we were focused on tightening up our defense. In the second half, we tried to increase our energy and take control of the game while aiming for a goal, and it was great that we were able to score, but the time between that goal and the subsequent one was still immature. I know I say the same thing every time, but we need to improve on that. It's partly my instructions and also the players' mentality. We were caught off guard in a situation where we needed to take care of new player Yu OKUBO. If we don't make solid improvements, we won't be able to accumulate points. We won't look down, and we will focus on preparing for the next game."

"Q&A"
Q=What was the reason for conceding goals after scoring, even though the defense was working well in a [4-4-2] formation?
"I think one of the reasons is that the players are still trying to score and become more aggressive in terms of motivation, but they are not able to use their power when they have to go back after attacking. I felt that it would be difficult to control the game in such situations and the flow would become more difficult if the key players do not talk about it and do it on the pitch. In the next game, we will have to continue to challenge ourselves in various ways."
