[Player/Coach Comments]

"Masato MORISHIGE"
(It was a game where we concentrated for 90 minutes and defended without scoring)
"We talked during halftime while anticipating various things, receiving the flow of the first half. It was a difficult game from the first half, and today the opponent had a higher quality than us."
However, even though the opponent had a long time zone, the team was able to endure it as a whole and fight from defense to attack. I think we were able to anticipate the summer season as well."

(Did the nightmare in Suita from last season not come back?)
"While fighting on the pitch, I didn't feel like we were being beaten."
I was thinking about how to end the game during the match. It was ideal to bring the game to a similar development as the Hiroshima match, but we were able to achieve at least the minimum result."

(Considering the long season, today's 1 point is big)
"I think it has a big meaning. However, as it gets closer to summer, there will be more situations like today."
"We must improve the quality of our attack even more in order to score one point, so that is a future challenge."

(This makes it 10 games undefeated in the league)
"It's important to not lose. We've been able to improve on the challenges we faced in each game for the next one. If we can continue this throughout the season, I think it will be good."

(I feel like the team has grown to a higher level compared to last season)
"First of all, not conceding is important. If we concede, we have to score two goals. Of course, winning is the most important thing, but I think it is important to earn one point in these types of matches during a long season."

"Ryoya OGAWA"
(Looking back on the shooting scene in the second half)
"I tried to move the ball from the right side to the center and take a shot. I wanted to score, but I felt that I needed more practice. However, looking back on the entire game, I think it was a huge achievement to bring back one point."

(In that scene, I pretended to pass to player Omori and aimed for a shot)
"It was an unfamiliar situation where we were both trying to find the right timing to shoot, and I was standing on the goal side. I managed to fake out one player with a kick feint, but unfortunately ended up hitting my teammate. The ball rolled towards the goal... it was so close, so it's really frustrating."

(How about playing on the right side?)
"When I think about the meaning of being a left-handed player on the right side, I don't think I can play the same way as a right-handed player like Muroya. So I'm approaching the game by thinking about going inside and participating in the build-up."

(He was crossing several times with his right foot)
"As long as I'm on the right side, there are situations where I need to break through vertically, so I have to show that I can do it with my right foot. If I only cut in every time, the opponent will also respond, so I tried to make some vertical attacks."

(The cooperation with the right side half)
"(Both Kubo and Na SANGHO are highly skilled players, so if you give them the ball, they can do something with it. It's very easy to play with them.)"

(The opponent's side half seemed to be very tight in defense)
"He is a scary player when facing forward, so I focused on closing the distance. Also, there were crosses and shots after cutting in, which I thought would be a threat, so I was able to defend while cooperating with my teammates."

(Looking ahead)
"In order to make this one point today meaningful, I think the next game will be very important, so I want to prepare for it firmly looking ahead."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru Hasegawa Press Conference Summary"
"Yesterday, when we arrived in Osaka, it was cool, but today's game was played in very hot weather, typical of Osaka."
I have watched most of G Osaka's games, but it felt like they were playing against the best team of the season.
Today, G Osaka came out with the members who had a great battle against Kawasaki and Kobe in the first half. The players have also understood the intentions of the coach and fought.
However, we had expected that, so even in the time when we had to endure, Tokyo players fought firmly and tried to attack, including set plays. But there weren't many opportunities. Last season, we allowed Ademilson to score in additional time here, but today we can take one point back to Tokyo. This is not a bad result. The league continues to be a tough battle, so we want to prepare well.

"G Osaka - Tsuneyasu MIYAMOTO Press Conference Summary"
"Today, both Kim Young-gwon and Katsunuma were able to handle the opponent's biggest weapon, their quick attacks, with confidence. There were moments in the first half where our defensive line dropped too deep, but I think we gradually improved our line control in that aspect."
Finally, there were also scenes where the opponent was able to take a shot inside the penalty area, but there were also moments where we were able to defend well and show our strengths.
"I have put Captain Miura on the bench, but I want to thoroughly analyze what kind of performance he can give in the current situation and think about the team's winning lineup."
