《Diego OLIVEIRA》
(You led the team to victory with your own goals and assists)
"I expected it, but it was a very difficult match."
I think this match was an opportunity for the opposing team to improve their form, as they have not been performing well.
It was very good to achieve a comeback victory against that team.

(Looking back at the assist scene)
"Na SANGHO came in at a good timing in front of the DF."
Na SANGHO is truly a player who works hard in daily training. I am really happy that Na SANGHO scored a goal, and I believe his goal will give the team momentum again.

(Regarding the goal that decided the match)
"We forwards are preparing every day to score goals."
A wonderful pass came from Jael, so among various options, I chose to take a looping shot. I think I was able to finish it calmly.

Kento HASHIMOTO
(Reflecting on the journey of reaching 100 matches)
"It’s been 100 matches since I scored in my debut match... I have those thoughts, and today I was able to play while savoring what I have accumulated over these 100 matches."

(I wanted to show good play today)
"I was able to fight without giving up until the very end, and I really wanted to secure the 3 points, so it was very good."

(When chasing a one-point deficit, what kind of communication was happening on the pitch?)
"There was still time left, and we were able to play our game, so we encouraged each other to keep playing without getting anxious."

(At today's bouquet presentation for the 100th match, my grandparents were present)
"My grandparents, who live in Miyagi, have not been able to come to Tokyo matches until now, so I invited them to see this milestone of 100 matches. I was happy to see their smiles."

(Next is a top match against Kashima)
"We have been on a good run so far, so I want to go for 3 points at home, and I want to do my best to continue our winning streak from here."

《Na SANGHO》
(The equalizing goal became the first goal in the J-League)
"I have been preparing to play in matches until today. I really wanted to score at home, so this first goal makes me very happy."

(Looking back at the goal scene, my leg was stretched up to an incredibly high position)
"I didn't intend to lift my leg high, but the desire to score quickly made me naturally lift my leg high."

(What kind of instructions did you receive from the coach before being sent onto the pitch?)
"I was told to go out there. Personally, I am really happy to be able to contribute to the team and to dispel the feeling that I haven't been able to deliver results in matches."

(Fans and supporters were also sending incredible cheers)
"Scoring my first goal at home Ajinomoto has made this a memorable day for me. The cheers from the fans and supporters gave me strength, and I want to prepare well to aim for goals in consecutive matches against Kashima next week."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"I'm glad we were able to turn the game around at home. I told the players that it would be a difficult match, and we should not just be passive but also challenge ourselves."
In the first half, we were countered several times after intercepting passes, and we conceded the first goal early in the second half.
However, I think we showed a willingness to keep pushing until the end. In the last match, we were caught out in stoppage time with one play, and I was watching the end today wondering if a similar situation would arise...
Among various substitution options, we were able to maintain an attacking posture and secure the win at home.
There will be a cup match soon, and next week is the match against Kashima. I want to continue preparing thoroughly.

(We made two substitutions in the first change, but the intention was)
"I brought in two players with expectations (laughs)
Na SANGHO returned to Korea during the international break, and we didn't have much time to coordinate, but I wanted to bet on his potential.
Since I was facing Elsinho, I hoped to create at least one chance. Jael is in very good condition. I was able to try various things during the league break, and I had time to coordinate during this week's practice.
It was easy to send him in with expectations, and since we had to move forward, I hoped that the attacking power of Jael and Na SANGHO could change the flow even a little.

(Finally, Tagawa participated. Last week in the match against Urawa, he mentioned the name of Yonemoto, who was with us until last season, but today, even if Yonemoto were here, would you have played Tagawa's card?)
"I did play it. Diego OLIVEIRA was also very active, and at first, I thought it might be Jael. Since today is a home game, I had the desire to play attacking players, and I have experienced a few times where I ended up being defensive. I wanted to make sure I had no regrets in a home game."

(Today, there were several moments where the defense was caught off guard by the opponent)
"At the beginning of the first half, we were caught out behind because the defensive line was not aligned properly.
Since it was a development where we received a counter from this quick attack, I think it would be unfair to attack the DF line.
It's inevitable to have a situation where we go for the goal. Of course, Shimizu is also preparing their countermeasures, and Coach Shinoda from Shimizu has grasped the habits and characteristics of Tokyo's players.
Last season, there was a strong impression that we were analyzed quite a bit at home, and this week, I had various discussions with the DF players. Still, we have players with individual abilities like DOUGLAS, Taisei Zheng, and Kitagawa.
Kaneko is a player who scored points in the last match and is on a roll.
I think it's inevitable that we create dangerous situations on the counterattack since we have to push forward a bit in that way.
However, I want to review the footage again and make the necessary corrections.

《Shimizu - Manager Yang Yongson Press Conference Summary》
"Like the recent matches, we were able to show a good performance today."
However, since we gained nothing, I think it is a difficult result for the players to accept. There were some mistakes today compared to the away match against Kobe two games ago, but the opponent was tough, and we were exploited there.
There were many good aspects, so I want to prepare for the next Levain Cup and league matches.

(It was a match where winning wouldn't have been surprising. That said, I'm worried about the players' mental state; how do you plan to manage this?)
"To lift their spirits and increase motivation, it's better to show the players the truth about what happened in today's match. There were times we were caught out by mistakes, but there were also good plays."

(Mistakes accumulate in football as well. Those mistakes can lead to goals conceded. What are your thoughts on the mechanisms behind that?)
"As a coach, I must guide the players in the right direction. We need to continue improving the content, and we must learn from this."
There are mistakes, but I want the players to learn a lot from them. I believe the fans watching also have a good understanding of soccer.
We would like you to continue supporting us. Especially now, as we have many young players, we hope they can learn from these mistakes.
