[Player/Coach Comments]
"Peter UTAKA"
"We made the game difficult for ourselves due to our own mistakes."
However, in the second half, after I scored a goal, there was a feeling of "let's get one more!" and "let's turn the game around!"
However, we conceded a goal again due to a mistake. It's frustrating and disappointing.
(Regarding goals)
Whenever I step onto the pitch, I always think about building a solid combination and scoring.
When we scored, Nagai and Takahagi made good plays and gave me good passes, so all I had to do was put it in.
I want to increase scenes like that more.
(3 consecutive losses in the league?)
When this kind of situation arises, everyone tends to lose confidence and the play itself becomes nervous.
I want to play aggressively with confidence precisely because of this situation.
"As I am an attacker myself, I want to play more aggressively and create many chances."
"Kensuke NAGAI Player"
"In the first half, it felt like only Kato and I were attacking."
The distance was bad and it was completely useless.
In the second half, Keigo came up close and we were able to create a rhythm with the three of us.
Yojiro-san has also been coming up while maintaining balance, and I think Keigo and Yoshito-san have become able to create situations where they receive the ball between the opponents.
I personally wanted to push the opponent's line down, so I was trying to aim for the back, but...
If Keigo and Yoshito can receive in between, they will also be able to shoot from the middle.
It would be great if we could create such a shape, but it will be tough if we don't compact it together.
A sense of distance is necessary so that even if you lose the ball, you can immediately defend with all members.
The second half saw the pressing from the front start to work.
I want to increase such scenes, but...
In tough situations where losing streaks continue, easy mistakes can make things difficult.
"We want to fix it together."
"Tokyo - Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference Summary"
I am truly disappointed and frustrated that we lost in this way at home. I feel sorry for showing such a disappointing appearance to our fans and supporters.
The match was particularly painful, especially the second goal. In order to score, we changed the system and added more players to the front line. I think we did well to score one goal, but then we pushed too far forward and ended up conceding on the counter. It's a shame because we were cautious, but still ended up conceding. The players are running well, but we can't seem to break the cycle of conceding from mistakes, so we need to reevaluate.
There was a nervous play at the beginning, but that is also a part that cannot be allowed, so we want to verify it together with everyone."
"Q&A"
Q=Is it fair to say that not being able to start the second half well means that you are unable to dispel the anxiety of losing?
"I didn't intend to send them out on the pitch like that, but there were just too many backward passes and we weren't able to make any vertical passes."
We were able to recover somehow and it would have been good if we could have ended the first half with a score of 0-1, but conceding a goal from a cross at that time was due to dropping back too much and being too far away.
Q=What was the reason for not getting good balls to Ogawa and Yanagi on both sides?
"One of the reasons was the slow speed of build-up. And they also needed to take a higher position. In particular, Ogawa's start to the game was not good. I think losing the ball in the first play was a factor."
One of the aims is to take a high position and cross, but there were many tight spots in the build-up to that point. I think the distance between the three DFs and the inside half was not good.
"Summary of C Osaka Manager YOON Jong Hwan's Press Conference"
"We have had many good games recently, but we have not been able to secure a victory. Before today's game, we talked about "Let's express our dedication and self-sacrifice on the pitch as we have done so far." I think the players showed that on the pitch. That's what led to this result."
And, although our supporters always give us a lot of cheers, it was great to be able to present them with a victory today. I think all of our players had the determination to win by any means necessary, and that led to this victory. I also think we did well in both defense and offense, in all aspects.
"I think it's important to maintain this atmosphere and do my best to keep it until the end of the season."
"Q&A"
Q=What is the evaluation of Kashitani player?
"We talked about various things individually, but he is making an effort to abandon his old self. He is trying to play for the team in any position. I really appreciate that and I think it led to today's goal. I believe he will continue to grow and show a good attitude."
Q=What is the evaluation of players Yamaguchi and Sugimoto on their return to the national team?
"What I was worried about was how much fatigue I had. It was amazing to see myself take the lead despite being tired. I think that had a positive impact on the team as well."
Q=What is the intention behind Yamamura's position change?
"We were leading because the opponent was attacking aggressively, but we wanted to stabilize our defense. However, dropping back in position did not mean we became defensive, but rather we changed positions to stabilize our defense and aim for goals on the counterattack."
