"Takuya UCHIDA"
"In the first half, we connected passes in the back a lot and were unable to move the ball forward."
The attack also became monotonous, and we lost easily, and the number of times we headed towards the goal was also small.
In the second half, I entered as a midfielder and was able to move the ball forward and connect passes, and I think we also increased the number of times we went towards the goal.
Although we lost, we want to improve the areas that need improvement.
I think we need to talk to other players about the part where we conceded.
I think the scoring scene was able to do well what I usually do in practice, including myself.

(What was the scoring scene?)
We were prepared for the ball to go to Kubo from the part where Suzuki's strength is to pass vertically.
Recently, I haven't been able to produce results, so I was glad to be able to score.

(Trying out various positions?)
In the second half, I entered as a defensive midfielder, and I think I was able to do well in the aspect of carrying the ball forward, which is my strength.
Even when playing in a position other than defensive midfielder, it is necessary to bring the ball up to the goal and score, and I consider it to be my own challenge.
I want to keep building and solving this challenge.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
We had been undefeated for 5 games so far, but unfortunately we lost this round.
"I want to focus on the results in the next match, and also focus on scoring goals, and of course improve the aspect of conceding goals, and prepare to win at home."

"Takefusa KUBO"
"Unfortunately, today's game was a constant chase of the opponent and we couldn't catch up until the end."

(1 goal and 2 assists, but looking back?)
The goal scene was when the ball came loose from Ogawa's fantastic overlap, and I was running expecting it to come loose.
It was a lucky goal, but I'm glad I was able to score.
(What about assists?)
During the pre-game meeting, Coach Nakamura told us to be aware of our defensive play and transitioning between offense and defense in order to play in the game. Thanks to his advice, I was able to make an assist.
The second assist, when Suzuki received the ball and looked up, I was prepared for another great pass like the ones he has been making since his U-18 days, and sure enough, a good ball came through.
In the previous scene, I couldn't face forward, so this time I wanted to face forward and compete, but I quickly switched because Uchida's position was good.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
We cannot afford to lose, so we want to win next week and continue on to the next game in good shape.」

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"

"Being able to play at a good stadium with young players."
And we are grateful that many FC Tokyo fans and supporters came to support us.

In terms of the game, our start wasn't bad, but the opponent's amazing shot went in and we became a bit heavy in the back, causing our attack to not come together.

However, the players will make sure to make adjustments during halftime and their attitude, number of people, and timing towards the goal.
I was able to catch up by being conscious of accuracy.

However, there were still many personal mistakes, resulting in a rough game.
In the end, Gamba scored one more goal and it was a very frustrating loss as it was a match between teams of the same generation. I felt that I need to improve my individual skills even more.
