[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kotaro OMORI"
"We were able to play our own soccer throughout the game, and we didn't allow many dangerous situations, so I think we played a good game."
I thought it was a point that we could take advantage of the opponent's unconventional positioning and attack when Tokyo was attacking. Throughout the game, it was good that everyone was able to move in sync to exploit gaps such as behind the opponent or in the midfield when we took the ball.

(We played by changing positions from the second half)
"I was conscious of creating a good shape with me and Ota. I often enter on the left side in practice, so I have many strengths in that area. Takahagi also came to the side and moved the ball, so I was able to play with a very good image."

(Were you conscious of adding an accent in your attack?)
"I was conscious of taking the opponent's unfavorable position. In defense, I was conscious of switching quickly and putting pressure on the ball."

(Did you have a strong feeling that you lost away?)
"We approached the match with the feeling that we couldn't afford to lose twice to the same opponent."

(How is the team's momentum?)
"I think we are in a very good flow with high motivation because we were able to win today."

(Please review the scene where you assisted)
"I lifted a cross ball with an inswing from the left side, which was my favorite form. I knew that Jael was one of the targets and Na Sangho player would also jump into the goal, so I was able to show my favorite form."

(It was a wonderful cross that the opponent's GK couldn't touch)
"I've been practicing to be able to make such cross balls, so I want to continue to be able to deliver good balls."

(There were also scenes where he aimed for his own goal)
"I hope we can show more power in the attacking aspect."

(This will be the second consecutive assist in an official match)
"It's true, but I'm not really conscious of it. Regardless of that, I want to assist even more and prepare well for the next match."

"Diego OLIVEIRA"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"A good pass came from Jael. The control position and timing were off, but in the end, we were able to connect it to a goal, so it was good."

(About compatibility with Jael)
"I think we have a good relationship. Communication is easy and I think we can play while being aware of each other on the pitch."

(It was a match against my former team, Kashiwa)
"There are many players I used to play with at Kashiwa, and I have respect for them. However, there is no change in our competitiveness, so I am really glad we were able to win."

(Scored a goal in 5 consecutive games.)
"Right now, my condition is very good and I want to continue to prepare well in order to maintain this state. Also, I think each and every one of us is able to fight firmly as a team."


"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"I am grateful for the many supporters who came to cheer us on in the rain. I believe the players understood the importance of today's game and fought for it."
Kashiwa also conveyed their determination to win this match by placing their forward players on the bench with only two days of rest. I think they fought until the end. We want to win the remaining two matches and advance to the qualifiers.

(What is the status of Muroya's injury?)
"We don't know the details at the moment."

(In the previous match, we were reversed. What is the image of the end of today's game?)
"Today, we knew that Kashiwa would change their front line by three, and with Muroya's injury, we couldn't cut one of our attacking cards. However, since it is a home game, we decided to cut the card and continue to fight with a winning and attacking attitude until the end."

(Started East player as a starter in the defensive midfield. How would you rate it?)
"Even considering the long league season, this tournament is important."
Among them, it was a big achievement to be able to win by using the East as a defensive midfielder from the start, not from the middle.
Of course, there is no problem with being aggressive, but I entered the game today while checking the details of defense. I want to give feedback on the details while watching the video."

"Kashiwa NELSINHO Coach Press Conference Summary"
"I think it was a very close game."
When looking back at the game, there were times when we were dominant and times when the opponent had the upper hand. In the first half, I think we were able to execute our planned game plan as intended.
However, we were unable to create a good opportunity to switch from build-up to attack. I think we lacked a bit of brilliance in the quality of our build-up.
We entered the game with the intention of dominating it as we did in the first half, but as a result we conceded two points, all of which I think were due to our mistakes.
When we reviewed the entire game, we were able to keep possession of the ball, but I think today's performance was a game that we lost to ourselves.
For young players, being given the opportunity to play in official matches like this is positive for the team, so I want to continue making improvements and prepare for the next match.
