"Takuo OKUBO"
"Nagasaki started attacking with momentum, aiming for the back with 2 shadow players led by FW Fanma."
　Against 2 shadows, our midfielders took care of them, but the players on the sides were also spread out widely, making us heavy in the back overall. We couldn't put pressure on the front. That's something we need to reflect on.

　The second half goal was exactly the time we should have endured.
　We believed that if we could endure there, our chance would surely come.
　As a result, we conceded a goal and made the game more difficult in terms of time.

　Nagasaki in particular is fighting with all their might and power.
　There was a balance between being able to run and being able to press, as well as being able to defend by pulling back.

　On the other hand, if you become passive, this is the result.
　We must not forget our challenger attitude. We must learn from today's defeat.

(DF has entered Tanba as a player?)
There was no discomfort even though the members changed.
　We were talking about how we should communicate well with each other, and we were able to do that.

(There were many great saves, but?)
I also had a lot of help. We all defended together, and in the end, it felt like I stopped it myself..."

"Daiki NIWA"
"I was told to start yesterday, but I wasn't nervous."
　I was actually excited. I was looking forward to being able to fight with the strong support of Tokyo fans and supporters.

(Masato) MORISHIGE and (Kosuke) OTA have also played together on the national team, so I wasn't worried.
　Communication is essential as a defense, so let's be aware of that and talk to each other.
　I think I was able to gradually improve my defensive style and movements as time went by and became smoother.

(Looking back on the game)
It would be great if we could take the lead and push forward, but soccer is a sport where there is an opponent.

　Nagasaki is on the brink of death, and the determination to bet on this match is also conveyed.
　On the other hand, even when chances were created, they were held to zero points and tried to switch in the second half.

　I think we did well in terms of keeping the goals against us to a minimum, even in a difficult situation.
　If we score one point and win, Tokyo should be called "strong" as expected.
　We were aiming for that kind of development, but...

　That's why conceding a goal is regrettable.
　I think they picked up the second ball from the set play...but I don't really understand right now.


　However, in the locker room after the game, everyone was already switching gears to use today's defeat as motivation for the next game.
　I think that I am also required to compete for "strength" myself, so I want to continue to exert my strength and contribute to victory.

"Tokyo - Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference Summary"
"Following the previous match, we were hoping to give a victory as a present to all the fans and supporters who came to Ajinomoto Stadium, but today's game turned out to be one where Nagasaki played extremely well and we were unable to perform well."

Of course, since it was after the previous match, today's game is important in many ways. We talked to the players about it during training and I think they understood it well and approached today's game with full understanding. However, unfortunately the first half was not very good and we pushed too late in the second half. We should have created that shape from the end of the first half and put more pressure on Nagasaki, but we couldn't tire them out in the way we wanted.

However, since we have consecutive games, we need to switch gears and prepare well for the away game against Kashima.

"Q&A"
Q=You changed the system and went back to a two-top formation for the last two games. What was the reason for that?
"It had been a while, but since we've been doing it together for a long time, I thought we would come together while doing it. Nagai himself said his shoulder was okay, but there was still a slight discomfort."
So, I replaced Tomigashi in the first half.
Tomigashi played selflessly and connected good defense to good offense, and he was able to push forward by putting his body on the line and collecting the ball up front. In the second half, I think we were able to use the inside and outside well, but I still think we lacked power today. In this type of game, we need to become a team that can secure at least 1 point, and ideally 3 points.

Q=Did you expect it to be a difficult development today?
"I didn't think Nagasaki would be an easy opponent, so I prepared for that."
Their obsession with winning points and the passion they put into this one game can be seen even when watching player Tokunaga. I entered the game today thinking it wouldn't be an easy match.

Even if the first half goes like that, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, in this type of game, the truly strong team will score and win even if the performance is poor.
"We cannot become a strong team in the true sense unless we become that kind of team."

"Nagasaki - Takuya Takagi's Press Conference Summary"
"It's been a huge achievement to end the last two games with a clean sheet since the league restarted. At the same time, I think it was a great accomplishment to earn 3 points."
Regarding today's match, FC Tokyo has been playing a very good game, and they changed their midfield composition a little and were able to form a pure 2-top formation. In response, we were able to keep the first half scoreless. I think the fact that we were able to adapt well to the characteristics of the 2-top formation was a factor in not conceding any goals. We also had a few chances while using the sides well, but our challenges towards shots on target were weak, so we need to improve on that.
However, I want to express my gratitude to the players for fighting until the end.

"Q&A"
Q=What is your evaluation of DF Vice, who made his first appearance?
"He is an experienced player, so I want to say that I am not worried at all, but he has just joined the team and has not had many opportunities to play in the preparation stage, so there were some concerns."

I talked to him a lot and made the decision to let him play, but I think he did better than expected.
He was excellent at going to crush it himself rather than leaving it to the center of the 3-back, and his way of speaking was outstanding.

I think I can play better if my condition improves from now on.
"We have to continue to do so that the players around him can understand his coaching better."
