[Player/Coach Comments]

"Cayman TOGASHI"
(It was a splendid equalizing goal. How do you look back on it?)
"I was just careful about the timing to jump in because Muraya was carrying the ball in a free state."
"It was great to receive such a good ball and just hit it in, so I'm glad it went in."

(I felt like we were playing more aggressively than usual)
"We talked as a team about expressing what we were able to do in the first half of the season through our play."
The start was a bit vague and we were conceded first, but after that, I think we were able to show aggressiveness from the front line.
"It was good that we were able to win by turning the tables in the end."

(For the Kobe match)
"It's important to win the next game since we have back-to-back matches."
"We want to prepare together for the team's victory."

"Masato MORISHIGE"
(It was a victory with a score of 2-1. Looking back on the game)
"In the first half, we were pushed back by the opponent, but as time passed, we were able to push back."
We conceded a goal, but it was important that we were able to recover it in the first half. After equalizing, I think we were able to show our resilience.
"I think we were able to win today with our overall strength because the substitute player who came in scored the winning goal."

(For the future)
"We have to keep winning. I don't think we should be satisfied with just winning one or two games, so I want us to keep building and continue winning together."
"We want to show a more ambitious attitude towards winning."

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

"The players were able to recover well from last week's defeat and fought in today's match."
It was really great to be able to give a victory to many Tokyo fans and supporters.
The start was not bad, but there was a time when the defense was weak and we couldn't take the ball. But I think the players were switched on after conceding a goal.
After that, there were few tight spots and we weren't pushed there, but the opponent is also a team that can score in one shot, so I thought that if we continued to follow their rhythm, we would eventually be beaten. I was thinking that we had to make a move somewhere.
In that sense, both Nagai and Lins, who came on as substitutes, did their job well.
I think we need to use the three-day preparation period to switch gears and prepare for the home game against Kobe, taking into account the flow from the previous two games.

"Q&A"
Q=The substitute player who came on at the 30-minute mark in the second half produced results in the remaining 15 minutes.
"The starting two top players played aggressively. Thanks to that, we could see that the Kashima center back was exhausted. In such a situation, we were able to seize our chances and do our job. It's only the beginning of the second half, but I think we were able to achieve a very big comeback victory."

"Summary of Kashima Go OIWA's Press Conference"
"We took the lead in a good way, but we gave the opponent momentum with a goal in the middle of the second half, and it became a game where we couldn't push back easily."
However, the players showed an aggressive attitude, so I want to evaluate them properly and move on to the next step.

Q=Did you feel any difference in the weight and condition of the players compared to Tokyo, in terms of player rotation?
"I don't think the difference in condition was the reason, but the opponent was faster in closing in on the ball, so it's regrettable that we couldn't get around that. We need to improve the accuracy when we have the ball even more."
