"Kotaro OMORI"
"I think we were able to show various attacking patterns, such as breaking through the center and starting from the sides."
　Everyone was emotionally invested, and we were able to show an aggressive attitude towards scoring while maintaining a balance between offense and defense.
　It was just a matter of making the final decision...
　But, I don't think we should rush here.
　I want to believe in what we have been working on as a team and think positively.
　"We want to prepare ourselves to win the last two games with confidence, just like today's battle."

"Kosuke OTA"
"It's really frustrating that we couldn't get 3 points despite creating so many chances."
　The team's fighting style was good, and we were able to keep the number of goals conceded to zero.
　There may have been some remaining challenges in terms of final accuracy and impact...
　There was a feeling of looking down in the locker room after the game, but we talked about switching together.

　Because we haven't lost the "possibility" yet.
　I will have a two-week break, but I want to take the frustration of not winning today and put it into the next two games.

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"

"It was a game we wanted to win."
The players played towards the opponent's goal until the very end.
Although there were moments where we conceded goals in this kind of situation, I truly appreciate that we were able to stay focused until the end and create numerous chances.
Kawasaki's victory has been decided, and with only 2 games left, there is still a chance for the ACL spot as the point difference with Kashima is 2. So, we want to prepare well and win against the reigning champion Kawasaki in the next match. And since it is also our final home game, we want to fight to end the season on a good note."

 
Q=What did you think about the substitution card?

"It was a very difficult game in the sense that if we didn't make any changes until about 25 minutes into the second half, the balance would be disrupted and our attack would suffer. It was a very good game in terms of content, so there was no point in changing things and making it worse."
Of course, there was an option to substitute Diego as the first player.
However, since he has been performing as the ace throughout the season, I trusted him until the end and did not make a substitution.
There were also chances created from the combination of Lins and Diego, but we expected plays like that and brought in Lins.
Diego's power started to decline around the 35-minute mark, so in the last 10 minutes, we put in Nagai and Yajima and bet on one final shot.
Today's game was dominated by the sides, and we were able to break through and send crosses, so I had high hopes for Yajima's shot.
However, in such an exciting development, there are also many times when we are easily defeated, but I believe that they played with concentration until the end.

"Iwata - Manager Hiroshi NANAMI Press Conference Summary"

"For about 15 minutes from the start, we were able to pick up second balls and the players' distance was very good, so we were able to control the game at our own pace."
However, as the game went on, our movements after pressuring and taking the ball became faster, and our defense started to feel heavy. Even so, I think we were able to avoid it at the last minute.
The failure of the PK, which will be one of the key points of this game, is of course significant, and it was also significant that Kaminski made a series of fine saves in the second half and ended the game with zero goals conceded. It was a hard-fought and patient victory, earning 1 point.
We admit that Tokyo definitely lost 2 points, but we also believe that we gained a significant 1 point towards our goal of remaining in the league, despite the difficult away environment.
Even in such a situation, speaking positively, Ohminami did not hesitate to challenge Diego and although there were scenes where he was easily taken away, I think he fought over and over again.
Ooi was able to maintain his balance while moving his center of gravity forward during the covering.
Therefore, I believe that not having a major breakdown and not having a large number of shots against were also contributing factors.
Another positive element is that Musaev returned and although there were some easy mistakes, there was a scene where he slid in and took the ball in the midfield, and then there was a scene where he returned to our right side and competed with Nagai.
That kind of scene is his strong point. I think his injury is also in good condition because he has been able to play like that, and it has been a while since he joined the team, so he has been able to discuss with the team's way of playing and his own condition, and I think that led to a good performance in the end.
In any case, the relegation is not yet decided and there are two more games on the thorny path, but I want to make efforts to earn points that will lead to next season while showing a dynamic game to the supporters in the final home game.
