[Player/Coach Comments]

"Masato MORISHIGE"
"There is a plan or aim to fight in a certain way before the match."
 However, football doesn't always go according to plan.
 The situation can change within 90 minutes, so it is important to know how to respond.
 We are now able to discuss and decide what to do together.

 There was a time when I was pushed in today, but it didn't go as planned.
 When everyone was in a fresh state, we were able to press from the front, but when the team became heavy, we compacted the back and defended in a different way.
 We conceded one goal, but were we able to make good use of it?
 Everyone was able to assess the situation and demonstrate their defensive awareness and cunning.
 "Isn't the team heading in a good direction?"

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
"The way we entered the game was good, and we had a lot of momentum."
I am especially happy that we were able to score the third goal.
Diego and I were talking about "scoring two goals during halftime, so let's aim for one counterattack."
I feel that it was important to score the third goal as it was.

(Although we were pushed in the second half?)
In a winning situation, there will always be times like that.
I thought it would be difficult to win if we couldn't score a third goal.
Wasn't it a big goal for the team to aim for while being pushed in?

(About the coordination of attacks)
Two FWs are switching on both offense and defense, and it's been a big help.
Those two and the side half and the volante are creating chances by working together.
When the side back comes up, I think we can add more thickness.
"I want to continue to be aware of that."


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

"The players were able to fight until the end and win in response to the passionate support of the fans and supporters. I think it's a very important 3 points. However, since we have consecutive games, we need to make sure to carry this victory over to the next one. I think it was a big advantage that we were able to take the lead today. We were able to start the game in a good shape and get a penalty kick. To be honest, there was a bit of a negative atmosphere because the opponent's player Hayashi had been stopping penalty kicks this season, but Diego OLIVEIRA was able to score it solidly. From there, we were able to switch on and score the second goal, and we were able to score the third goal at a good time. In the end, we were tired and pushed back, but I think it was also important that the DF players put their bodies on the line until the end and kept the opponent to just one goal. Since we have another game coming up soon, we need to switch gears and prepare well for the next one."

"Q&A" Q=What impact will winning against the top-ranked Hiroshima have on the team? "Only by winning the next game can we make use of today's 3 points. I think the next game against Nagoya will be very important."

"Hiroshima - Manager Hiroshi JOFUKU's Press Conference Summary"

"Many purple supporters came to the weekday night game, and I am truly disappointed and frustrated that we couldn't meet their expectations."
It's difficult to win if you concede three points. Especially since the start of the game wasn't good.
I have to reflect on the fact that I entered the game from the moment I was suddenly put in a deep ball and didn't want to be taken to the goal by going firmly to the ball.
We have always been able to come back and turn the game around even after conceding one goal, but today we conceded a second goal and then a third goal.
However, since this is our first loss of the season, I think what is being asked of us now is to switch gears.
"I want to cherish the feeling of how frustrating it is to lose and look forward to the next game."
