"If we continue playing this way, we will definitely earn 3 points. We were attacking throughout the game and our performance was good."
It is truly unfortunate that we lost, but it is important to continue believing in this soccer.
'Next game' refers to a game like today's.
Of course, we should accept the defeat and learn from it, but we also did not allow the opponent to create any decisive chances on the defensive side.
I think there were no scenes where the score was tied, and the scenes where we conceded were also coming together.
If we had scored one goal on the offensive side, it would have definitely been our game with a strong push.
It's not just the fault of the attacking unit that they can't make a decision.
There were also set plays and corner kick opportunities. Especially in a close match, if we can score from there, the team will become more relaxed. As a DF, I also want to contribute, but...

　After the game, everyone in the locker room was making positive comments. Following the Nagoya game, we were aggressive and all tried to be positive, resulting in a good performance. We want to prepare ourselves so that we can turn our good performances into results next time.

《Kento HASHIMOTO》

"We were able to move the ball to good areas and create many chances, and we also had several scoring opportunities."
But despite that, we were defeated by the opponent's "one shot" and it's really frustrating.
It turned out to be a situation where we had to make a decision...

　I personally had several chances to take a middle shot.
I want to approach the remaining games with personal challenges so that I can score points in those situations.
Although we lost, we want to take a positive view of being able to return to third place and aim to grow even further in the last four games. We want to continue to show everyone our growth."

"Tokyo - Coach Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It's all about not being able to score. I think we still lack strength. We have four more games left, and especially at home, we haven't won in a while, so I feel the need to train hard and secure a victory at home."

The players fought with the feeling of wanting to score, and I think they did their best. However, the fact that we haven't been able to win is because we lack strength. So, together with the players, we want to continue searching for various solutions through daily training.


Q=From here, do you think it is better to aim for a goal by changing tactics to improve the accuracy of the finish, or to try to score by changing tactics in a different way?

"I believe we need to continue to provide stimulation through training."
Today, Maeda and Lins, who were in good condition during practice, were also not bad today.
I believe that we can only improve through hard work and practice.
Even though it was a system change, Takahagi player mostly went forward and tried to score in a 2-back formation, but I think our way of stopping the counter was not very good.
However, I think there was an unlucky part to the ball that Mori Shige firmly hit into the shooting course.
The ball just went to Kiyotake's place.
Tanba's response should have come from the goal side a little more, but I don't think it was a bad response.
I think there were some unlucky moments, but the defense did a good job of not allowing shots to hit the frame and staying on course, so in that sense, they did a good job.

"It was a long-awaited victory."
I think it was a good result for all the supporters.
There have been difficult times when we couldn't win for a long time, but today we fought based on our system and had the intention to remember the good times.
I think it was a game where the players expressed themselves well for 90 minutes.
Of course, there were many mistakes, but all players covered for each other. We didn't concede any goals and were able to take advantage of our chance at the end and score solidly.
I was really lucky and able to make the final decision, but I think that's just how soccer is.
With today's victory, I feel like we have created a foundation to keep up with the top again, but we must not miss this opportunity.
I think the players also have that feeling, so even though there are few remaining games, we must do our best until the very end.

Q=What is today's evaluation of the defense team?

"Tanaka and Yamashita, who made their first appearance in a while, are players who have been consistently training. They haven't played much in games, but I think they were able to show that kind of effort in today's match. Although we were under pressure for a long time, our players were able to handle it well. In soccer, if we don't concede, we have a chance to win, so we need to take advantage of those opportunities."
