"Tokyo U-23 Tetsu NAGASAWA Manager's Press Conference Summary"

(Looking back on the match)
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the approximately 1900 fans and supporters who came today. There was a heated battle in Suita yesterday, but we are truly grateful for your continued support."
C Osaka is a team that plays very faithfully in terms of winning and ball control. This is an important aspect that even head coach Kenta HASEGAWA values in the top team, so despite the hot and tough weather, we approached the game with the conscious unity of not falling behind.
I think that today's game was won by competing and winning in crucial moments. In a match-up between two 4-4-2 formations, without any major position changes, it was a head-to-head battle where individual battles were crucial. Even in terms of ball possession, prediction and preparation are everything, so being able to be half a step ahead of the opponent in this weather was thanks to the support of the fans and supporters, and I believe the players played with determination.
As I always say, the players' goal is not just to win here and celebrate, but to prove themselves on the pitch and earn recognition from coach Masaru HASEGAWA in order to keep up with the top team. In that sense, it has been 2-3 months since the start of the season, but I believe our fighting mentality is getting stronger. In order to compete in J1, we need to continue playing more matches, so we will continue to train hard.
