[Player and Coach Comments]

Kensuke NAGAI

(Was scoring at Toyota Stadium a good feeling?)
"I was happier to contribute to the team's victory by scoring the second goal, especially since the team has not been winning much lately, than just scoring at Toyota Stadium."

(The team achieved victory for the first time in 9 matches)
"We were finally able to get out of the long tunnel, so I want to work hard to achieve consecutive wins again."

(In the goal scene, I received the ball from player Higashi, evaded the DF, and scored beautifully)
"Since I was able to face forward, I thought I would take on the challenge and strike the ball. It flew into a good course, and it was great that it became an additional point."

(What were the factors for today's victory?)
"We returned to our roots, played aggressively in defense from the front, and were able to play a style of football where more players came forward from the back. We were able to play like we did during our previous winning streak, so I want us to continue together from here."

(Today, I could really feel the players' desire to win on the pitch)
"I think we lacked a bit of spirit in the last match. Today, everyone was fully engaged from the start, and since the coach also mentioned that, we were able to give it our all together."

(With today's victory, we have come back to a position where we can aim for the ACL again)
"We want to unite as a team and strive for that goal again"

(Towards the next match)
"I will do my best to score again and help the team win."

Kotaro OMORI

(This was my first goal after the transfer)
"I'm really happy!"

(Please review the scoring scene)
"Diego OLIVEIRA used his individual skill to face forward, and I was just running and matching up. Nagai also acted as a decoy in front, and I think it was a very beautiful goal."

(You were running very well throughout the match. Did you have any special feelings today?)
"It's not so much that I had special feelings, but I thought I would enter the match with a calm mind as usual, and I'm glad I was able to score a goal today."

(Four consecutive goals against Nagoya away)
"I have the impression that I am somehow deciding, but I wasn't really conscious of it."

(Determination for the Cerezo match)
"Since we lost away, we have to win at home in that sense, so I want to do my best to make sure today's victory is not wasted."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Coach Kenta HASEGAWA》
"I have nothing to say today. I think the players fought really well, and above all, I am glad that we were able to present a victory to the fans and supporters."


Q=I think we didn't let the opponent take control early on from the start of the first half with our pressure, but was that according to plan?
"Following the last match, we trained for a week to reflect on what our strengths were. We utilized the entire team to support Nagai and Diego OLIVEIRA, and with their driving force, we were able to apply pressure vertically."
I believe we were able to maintain our focus and fight even in the second half, and it became a valuable victory that we finally grasped after a tough struggle.

"Summary of the Press Conference with Nagoya Coach Yahiro KAZAMA"

"It took a little time from the start to get into our rhythm. After that, we gradually managed to play in our rhythm, which I believe was due to the players' strength. However, I think that a moment of light play during the 90-minute game decided everything. I was very disappointed about that. But I hope that the players can learn from this lesson and realize that they must not let their guard down for even a second, or even if they didn't let their guard down, they should not display such play."

Q: Player Miyahara was injured and had to leave the game. Did this change the game plan in any way? Also, please share what you can about his situation.
"The situation regarding the injury is still unclear. I haven't heard much about it, but I don't think it's something very minor. Of course, the game plan will change, but there are also some players who are not in their best condition, and there are players who are suspended, so I wanted to have him play for as long as possible. However, other players are also training, and I didn't think the game plan would change that much. On the contrary, we were able to create some good situations from that, so in terms of improving team strength, it can be seen positively. It's very unfortunate about the player's injury, but I want to take a positive view on the other aspects."
