[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kan Kobayashi"
"It was good to score one point, but it would have been better if we could have taken additional points in the first half. That's the challenge."
The second half was also a challenge as we were unable to create many opportunities.
In that game, our defense conceded one goal, but I don't think it's a negative thing that they held on for a draw.

(There were no overage players?)
In the last three games, we had overage players playing and we won three times in a row. However, we wanted to prove that we can still win even without overage players.
Unfortunately, it ended in a draw.

(What is your enthusiasm for this round?)
In the previous match, I watched from the bench and unfortunately lost 0-3 amidst players being sent off.
It was a very disappointing result.
I wanted to win, but I wish I could have paid back that debt.

(What about the goal scene?)
The pass was connected well on the left side, and it came back to me in a good state.
I had decided to shoot while facing forward when I received it.
It hit the opponent, but I'm glad it worked out.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
Today, despite the typhoon, many fans and supporters came from Tokyo.
Next is our home game, and we want to deliver a victory in front of our many fans and supporters at that home game."

"Go HATANO"
"We conceded a goal at the start of the second half and ended up being pushed back for the rest of the half."
We were hit by many shots, but in the next game, we will coach to prevent shots and protect the goal.

(How did you change your mindset between headwind and tailwind?)
In the second half, we had a headwind, so we were aware that long balls would be more effective. We had been preparing for this during warm-ups, so we were particularly conscious of that aspect.
In addition, I always made sure to be prepared because there was an impression that they were actively taking shots.

(There were also many good defenses, but?)
I always prepare from practice, so I think that was the result.

(Message to the fans and supporters who came to Okinawa)
I'm not sure if the return flight will take off, but I hope you all make it back to Tokyo safely.
And, above all, thank you very much for your strong support in this weather.」

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"Despite the extremely bad weather, when we arrived at the game venue, there were many Tokyo fans and supporters waiting for us."
I expressed my gratitude and told the players to take the points and go home.

In the first half, which was in a favorable position, we conveyed the message to be proactive.
The players were very aggressive this round because we really wanted to take the points after losing 0-3 last time.
As planned, we were able to score one point in the first half, but compared to the past three games, is it because we don't have any overage players or because we lack strength?
Our attacking time has become shorter as time goes by.
That part still needs to be strengthened.

In the second half, we stood against the wind and defended against the opponent's fierce attacks until the end, showing great physical strength.
In the past few games, when we played with only young players like today, we would concede one goal and then continue to concede three or four goals in a row, especially from set pieces.
"Being able to overcome that was a part where I felt the growth of the players."
