"Kensuke NAGAI"

(I scored my first goal of the season. Please share your thoughts.)
"In the previous match against G Osaka, I had chances but couldn't score. And even in today's game, I missed a clear opportunity at the start, so I'm honestly relieved to have scored."

(The scoring scene, Higashihagi player → Higashi player connected with a pass and Nagai player scored a goal. What did you focus on in your movements?)
"There were several scenes where Higashi player made a run behind the opponent's DF as the third player. After that, I had the image of receiving a pass from him since the previous match, so I think that was the intention that led to today's goal."

(Intense pressing from the front line and movements to get behind the opposing DF are standing out. What I am conscious of is)
"By making runs behind the defense, I can force the opposing DF line to drop back. If midfielders like Higashi and Omori can come into the space facing forward, we can create attacking opportunities. I am aware of creating space behind me in this way."

(Future enthusiasm)
"Kashima and C Osaka are teams that will come up in the top. I think it will be a tough game, but by winning against a strong team, I think our ranking will also improve. I want the team to come together and prepare."

"Sei MUROYA"

(It was a 5-2 victory. Looking back on today's game)
"I think it was great that we were able to score 2 goals early on. Even during the time when we were pushed back after conceding a goal, we all worked hard and were able to fight, which I think led to the additional points afterwards."

(What were you conscious of on the pitch during the time when you were pushed into Nagasaki?)
"We were doing well in our attack, so instead of changing something, I encouraged us to continue playing our own football. It was good that the team was able to imagine that part."

(He was very active in attacking from the side)
"In previous games, I felt like I was focusing more on defense. The coach has instructed me to 'keep attacking vertically' and it's also one of my strengths, so I want to continue doing it with confidence."

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA Coach's Press Conference"

"I think the players really concentrated until the end and fought well, and I would like to thank the many fans and supporters who came from Tokyo to Nagasaki and created a very good atmosphere. We talked about using the loss to Sendai in the Levain Cup as a lesson and applying it in today's match. We were also focused on the Levain Cup, but there were also parts where the team did not function well. Today, we entered the match firmly and achieved results, so I really think the players did a great job."

However, we have conceded goals from set pieces and mistakes after scoring two points, so that is something we need to work on in the future. We have a home game against Kashima in two days, so we need to switch our mindset and prepare well for it."

"Q&A"
Q=The score has changed significantly, what are your thoughts on how the game is progressing, coach?
"Of course, there were times when Nagasaki was on the offensive, but there were also moments where they couldn't hold their ground. Naturally, there will be various challenges that arise throughout the season, and we are determined to tackle them earnestly. Through games like this, we can gain experience that will be useful in similar situations. If we don't close the gap to two points, we won't be able to gain that experience, and it's not easy to create such situations. I think the players learned a lot in a positive way, so we want to make sure to use that experience in the upcoming matches."

"Summary of Nagasaki Takuya Takagi's Press Conference"

"I think it was a game where we felt the difference in strength. Normally in this kind of match, we would respond as a group rather than individually, but today there were many scenes where we tried to break through individually for the first time this season, and we were unable to break through as a group on both offense and defense. Even against balls coming in from behind, I think the members of FC Tokyo today were imagining that the ball would come in at this timing, but we were unable to respond during the game."
It is natural that every game is difficult no matter which team we play against, but not being able to play as a group made it even more challenging. Although we scored 2 goals and created other chances, it is a positive aspect, but we couldn't hold on in crucial moments and failed to score another goal.
However, I was prepared for this kind of game in the league, so I want to prepare for the next game based on that.

"Q&A"
Q=The discussion was about not being able to endure where you should endure, and not being able to make a decision where you should make a decision. What do you want to do in training to cover those missing steps?
"With only two days until the next game, we first need to get our condition back, so I think we have no choice but to have various discussions with the players while watching the footage. That will be our training for the next game."
