"Diego OLIVEIRA"
(It was a great goal. Looking back on it again)
"I am very happy to be able to win with my own goal. It is very valuable to be able to face the next game in a good flow."
As for the goal, I chose to take a direct shot because Omori gave me a kind pass.
"I believe this victory was achieved by the entire team, including not only my fellow teammates here, but also the members who practiced in Kodaira today."

(Did you predict the pass from Ohmori?)
"Ohmori is an extremely high-quality player. He has given me many good balls and created chances since last season. Even today's goal, when I asked for the ball, he gave me a gentle pass and I was able to play with the same image."

(We took advantage of the opponent's mistake and connected it to a goal. Did you consciously put pressure on them?)
"Our playing style is to put pressure on the front line and go for the ball. I think that strength came out. I think there will be even tougher battles ahead, but I want to improve our accuracy even more than that."

"Keigo HIGASHI"
"We talked about playing compactly for 90 minutes in the defensive part. I think it was very good because it resulted in a victory."

(Until Jael was put in, we were being pushed by the opponent)
"In the first half, we had more time attacking. In the second half, I think we were able to turn things around in the attacking part because Jael came in."
We were able to take the lead by switching to an aggressive attack in the second half, as both teams were relying on quick attacks as their weapon.
Jael's presence has completely changed the flow of the game, and I think we were able to fight for 90 minutes by communicating on the pitch.

(Hiroshima won and took the top spot)
"The battle has just begun, so we must stay focused and prepare for the next game."
There are many points to reflect on just from today's game, and we are still hungry for victory. As the captain, I want to lead the team and continue to fight in the next game as well."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a tough game, but I believe the players fought patiently and were able to achieve victory."
We also have the Levain Cup during the week, so we want to prepare well for it.

(Evaluation of defense)
"I thought that the points would be the ball and the approach, so I think the players understood that well and played today. There were some dangerous situations like middle shots, but they fought very hard and concentrated on crosses and side defense."

(Impact of Kubo's absence?)
"I think there was a huge impact (laughs). He was making a lot of changes for us, so without a player like him, today Omori showed his strengths in the game. Hiroshima also had a solid block, so it wasn't an easy task to break through, but our two forwards showed their power from the first half, which I think led to the final goal."
"Of course, I believe that if Tatenaka returns to good health, we can make various changes."

"Hiroshima - Manager Hiroshi JOFUKU Press Conference Summary"
"I would like to express my gratitude for the large number of people who came to the weekday night game, and I am truly sorry that we were not able to meet their expectations. That's all I can say."
I expected it to be a tough game where we wouldn't let the opponent show their strengths, and they have strong individual players, so we did well in terms of how to prevent them from showing that.
The result of each team having 3 shots is unclear to the viewers, but I believe it is the result of both teams fighting with all their might.
Our challenge is to connect from defense to attack.
I wanted to be able to go deeper into the attacking third from an earlier time, rather than just at the end.
"It was a game where we could see our challenges, so if we can build on this, it would be great."

(It was a goal just after the substitution, but about the goal scene)
"I can't say anything because I haven't reviewed the footage, but the cross ball bounced or something and the low ball rolled to Sho SASAKI's feet. He probably tried to handle it with his head and went to Diego OLIVEIRA's place."
We may have to praise the opponent for the quality of being able to decide there directly. However, if we are pushed in many times, such accidents may occur. I have a feeling that I wanted to play soccer in the area a little more.
However, I am aware that the players did not leave any gaps in defense and made efforts to neutralize the opponent's strengths, and I do not deny their hard work. We must continue to improve the quality from there on.
