"Yoshito OKUBO"
"Everything has become half-hearted."
　Today's game is a must-win with 3 points. However, our pressing is half-hearted and we can't seem to make passes forward. The players in the back must also be feeling something. We need to work together to fix this...

　If we go for points and end up conceding, it's still okay.
　Conceded 5 goals without going to Kawasaki... I feel embarrassed.
　Passive, mistakes were made, and from there it continued to decline.

(In the end, I played by falling back. As a result, did that lead to a goal?)
　Since I couldn't get the ball even if I played a game in front, I had no choice but to fall back.
　Received, sent out, and went inside.
　I played a play that I wanted everyone to do.

　Everyone in this team says, "Let's change, let's change, we want to change."
　◈But it's not changing at all. It's a waste not to challenge.
　Not only now, but also think about the future.
　If you can't challenge now, nothing will change in the future. You have to accept that.

　There are 10 remaining league matches. Can we change in these 10 matches?
　"I want to convey that and pursue change."

"Kento HASHIMOTO"
"Did we have a good start to the game, but then conceded a goal and made it a difficult match?
I think that's all..."

　Overall, we were on the offensive and often got caught behind by Kawasaki.
　There were times when we didn't have enough defenders, and even when we did, the opponent's shots were skillful and we conceded points.
　I was prepared for such a situation by being proactive, but I was also ready to accept it.
　We conceded a goal at the point where we thought we could hold on...

(Regarding after becoming a double pivot)
We may have disrupted the balance while trying to score points.
　It feels like we've been giving up points because of that.
　There was no harvest today. I feel sorry and embarrassed for the fans and supporters, and only have feelings of regret.
　I think the fans and supporters came to watch because there was still hope for Tokyo to turn things around, even though the first game ended in a 0-2 loss.
　Rather than talking about this play or that play, today we all feel frustrated and disappointed. We all have to accept this result.

"Tokyo - Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference Summary"
"Today's game ended in a disappointing result."
The players started the game well, but unfortunately, conceding a goal first gave the opponent too much space.
The Levain Cup is now out of the tournament, so there is no excuse, but I think the players did well.
We apologize to all of our fans and supporters for this result. Let's all lift our heads up and prepare for the next game together. We hope you will believe in us and support us.

"Q&A"
Q=Did you feel that the players were feeling down after conceding a goal?
"The players were shaken by conceding a goal first. I tried to calm them down, but then we conceded two more goals right after, giving the opponent even more space. As a result, I think the team lost their focus."

"Kawasaki - Toru Oniki's Press Conference Summary"
"It was really great to have so many supporters come even though we were playing away, and it was even better that we were able to win and move on."
The final score was 5-1, but it wasn't because we had a good start to the game. I think the biggest achievement today was being able to endure and persevere through that.
"However, I definitely want to eliminate the situation where we concede one goal at the end in the future."

"Q&A"
Q=What was the intention behind substituting players Ienaga and Taniguchi during halftime?
"I wanted to score an away goal, so I used Ienaga as a starter despite having back-to-back games."
As a result, I was able to score an away goal in the first half, so I made a substitution.
I also wanted to play in the next game considering the previous injury of player Taniguchi.
"I think that various forms have been created because the players have scored points."

Q=What is the plan for entering the game?
"I told them that it was okay to play without taking risks because I expected the opponent to come forward. As a result of that instruction, there were some situations where the ball couldn't be connected or the number of people showing up in between decreased, so I felt the difficulty of how to speak and express it."
However, I always thought that it would eventually become an open development as time passed, so I think it was a good harvest that the players played carefully during that time period.

Q=What is the evaluation for player Abe?
"In terms of decisiveness, he has an outstanding ability and his ability to utilize it in his play can be evaluated."
I believe there is more potential in the plays leading up to that point. I want them to increase the plays they receive in between and continue to grow."
