《Peter UTAKA》
We made the match difficult due to our own mistakes.
　However, in the second half, after I scored the goal, there was an atmosphere of 'Let's get another point!' and 'Let's turn this around!'
　Still, we conceded a goal from a mistake again. It's frustrating and disappointing.

(Regarding goals)
Whenever I step onto the pitch, I always think about building strong combinations to score.
　During the goal, Nagai and Takahagi played well and provided good passes, so I just had to tap it in.
　I want to see more scenes like that.

(Three consecutive league losses?)
In situations like this, everyone tends to lose confidence, and the play itself becomes nervous.
　It is precisely because of this situation that I want to fight confidently and aggressively.
　As I am an attacker myself, I want to fight more aggressively and create many opportunities.

Kensuke NAGAI
"In the first half, it felt like only Kaito and I were attacking."
　The sense of distance was poor, and it was completely bad.

　In the second half, Keigo came up close, and we were able to create rhythm with the three of us.
　I think Yojiro has also been able to come up while maintaining balance, and we have started to create situations where Keigo and Yoshito can receive the ball between the opponents.
　I personally wanted to push the opponent's line back, so I was trying to target behind them more and more...

　If Keigo and Yoshito can receive in between, they will be able to take shots from the middle as well.
　It would be good to create such a shape, but it will be tough unless everyone stays compact.
　Even if we lose the ball, we need to maintain a distance that allows everyone to defend immediately.
　In the second half, the pressing from the front started to work well.
　I want to increase scenes like that...
　When a losing streak continues and the situation becomes tough, easy mistakes can make it even harder.
　We want to make corrections together.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference by Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA》
I am really disappointed and frustrated because we lost in this way at home again. I believe we showed an embarrassing performance to our fans and supporters.
The match was particularly painful due to the second goal conceded. In order to somehow score, we changed the system a bit and added more players to the front line. I think we did well up until we scored one goal back, but after that, we pushed too far forward and ended up conceding on the counter. It was very disappointing to concede from a situation we were wary of. The players are running well, but we are continuing to concede goals due to mistakes, so we need to reassess once again.
There were some timid plays at the start, but that's a part that we absolutely cannot overlook, so we want to examine it together as a team.

《Q&A》
Q=Does not being able to start the second half well mean that you are unable to dispel the anxiety of being behind?
I didn't intend to send them out on the pitch like that, but there were too many backward passes, and we couldn't make vertical passes.
It would have been good to somehow recover and finish the first half at 0-1, but conceding a goal from a cross at that time was too deep and too far away.

Q=What were the reasons that good balls did not reach players Ogawa and Yanagi on both sides?
One reason was that the build-up speed was slow. Also, they needed to take a higher position. Especially, Ogawa's way of entering the match was not good. I think losing the ball in the first play was a factor.
One of their aims is to take a high position and deliver crosses, but there were many tight spots in the buildup to that. I think the distance between the three defenders and the inside midfielders was not good.

《C Osaka - YOON Jong Hwan's Press Conference Summary》
"Recently, there have been many good matches, but we haven't been able to secure a victory. Before today's match, I talked about how we must express our dedication and self-sacrifice on the pitch as we have done until now, and I believe the players expressed that on the pitch. That led to this result.
And, as always, the supporters have given us a lot of cheers, and I'm glad we were able to present a victory today. I believe that all the players had the determination to win by any means necessary today, and I think everything went well in terms of defense and offense.
I think it is important to maintain this atmosphere, and I want to do my best to keep this atmosphere until the end of the season.

《Q&A》
Q=What is your evaluation of player Kakita?
"We talked about various things individually, and he is trying to shed his old self. He is trying to play with the mindset of doing it for the team, no matter the position. I really appreciate that, and I believe that resulted in today's goal. I trust that he will continue to grow and show a good attitude going forward."

Q=What is your evaluation of players Yamaguchi and Sugimoto returning from the national team?
"What I was worried about was how much fatigue there was. Despite the fatigue, the sight of me taking the lead was wonderful. I believe that sight had a positive impact on the team."

Q=What is the intention behind Yamamura's position change?
"The opponent came at us aggressively, so we had the lead, but I wanted to stabilize our defense. However, just because we dropped our position doesn't mean we became defensive; we changed our position to stabilize our defense and aim for goals on the counterattack."
