《Sei MUROYA》
"Today, I focused on simple plays."
　I think there were aspects where we were able to utilize the characteristics of our forwards to pose a threat to the opponent.
　It rained today, but I think there are situations where we can play like we did today.
　I want to fight in a way that poses a threat to the opponent and seize victory.

《Kazunori YOSHIMOTO》
I tried my best to give 100 percent and fully commit to what I could do.
　I was thinking about doing everything possible to defend until the very end, such as limiting the shooting angles.

　Of course, I wanted to earn 3 points, and it is frustrating that we couldn't win.
　However, I want to think positively about the fact that we did not concede a goal from situations where we were wary of Shimizu, such as crosses and set plays.

　The pitch condition was such that we couldn't connect the ball, and there were some difficulties, but everyone was focused and was able to put their bodies on the line for what needed to be done.
　Let's take that positively and work together to win the next three matches.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference by Coach Takayoshi AMMA》
I would like to thank the fans and supporters who rushed to the stadium and provided their support despite the difficult conditions.
This week's practice saw a clash in match schedules between J1 and J3, resulting in fewer people at training. In such circumstances, the U-18 players helped with set-piece practice. I'm really happy that we didn't concede any goals from set-pieces in today's match as a result.
Everyone who maintains the ground before the match has made efforts to remove the water from the pitch until the very last moment for the sake of the soccer we are working on, which involves moving the ball. For those people, I want to take this team one step further so that we can secure all three points in the next match.

《Q&A》
Q=What was the reason for substituting Yu OKUBO?
If it's soccer that moves the ball, he is definitely a player you should not drop.
However, when the field was flooded and it became a game of playing floating balls into the front line, he had less time to touch the ball.
When considering our vertical momentum and Shimizu's counterattacks from there, I thought it was necessary to make substitutions, so I made the changes.

《Summary of the Press Conference by Shimizu Coach Shinji KOBAYASHI》
In the first half, we effectively exploited the opponent's defensive line, and even as the condition of the pitch worsened, we maintained that approach. In the second half, the center-backs got tangled up, disrupting our rhythm and creating a major crisis, but we were saved by the post. However, throughout the match, the defense was focused, and we were able to create two big chances in attack.
In the last four matches, there have been three draws, and although we haven't scored, we have been solid in defense and managed to earn points.
Since there will be a two-week gap between matches, we want to organize our defense a bit more and be able to win the ball back in preparation for the Sapporo match, and this time we want to score.

《Q&A》
Q=What is the reason for using player Kawai and how is he evaluated?
"I used him because he played well for 60 minutes in the satellite match, and during training, he didn't look like a player who had been away for 8 months. He was nervous about returning to such a big stage at the end, but he did well."
I thought Kawai and Edamura would be key players in today's match, and considering that using Edamura first might tire him out, I felt it would be better to start with Kawai.
I would like to evaluate them for playing for over 70 minutes even in today's field conditions.

Q=What was the intention behind substituting player Thiago?
"In the second half, I thought it would be good to score early, so I made the substitution. Since it was a combination of players who like to break through, Kitagawa and Thiago, I was a bit worried, but they did well."
Kaneko also intended to put pressure on the opponent's three-back, but I think he did well enough.
