"Ryoya OGAWA"
"The defense was able to hold strong and we were able to maintain a good flow. It's great that we were able to win."

(Scored a goal from a brilliant interception)
"I started dribbling on the right side, and when the ball was taken away, we were able to put a lot of pressure on quickly as a team. Luckily, the ball fell to me and I was able to take the shot I had envisioned."

(The hero interview of today was player Hayashi)
"I thought it might be me, but it was different (laughs)
Even Shah, at first I felt like Ogawa call was happening, but Hayashi was the one who did it first (laughs) I will work hard to perform well in future games and want to seize that chance again!"

(Looking forward to the next league Sec. 13 match against C Osaka)
"Personally, there are many players I get along with, so I definitely don't want to lose and I want to do my best to bring back 3 points even away from home."

"Hyun Soo JANG"
"It was a game where we were able to show what we've prepared for, and by enduring and defending, it led to today's two goals."

(Despite the valiant efforts of the defense, today's hero interview was with player Hayashi.)
"I am truly happy. It is very reassuring to have Hayashi protecting us from behind. I believe it is because we have built a strong trust between each other that we are able to achieve these clean sheets."

(Even when I asked Hayashi about it, the DF line is protecting me by putting their bodies on the line, so the shooting range is limited. As a result, he said that he was able to defend himself)
"From the time we practice, the defensive line talks to each other and discusses how far we can defend as DFs, and we also talk to the GKs. We communicate with each other, saying that we will definitely defend up to this point, so we rely on each other from here on, and that's how we play."

(Message for the upcoming match against C Osaka in Sec. 13)
"We have been achieving good results in the league so far, but we cannot be satisfied with this. It is important to continue training and improving ourselves. We must come together as a team and aim for a good result in the end."

"Takefusa KUBO"
(It seemed like they were going against the GK in the scoring scene)
"What I imagined was taking it to the form I always do in practice. I don't really look at the GK."

(It was not an easy shot)
"It was a situation where I had to score, so I didn't think too much and just looked at the goal, placed the ball in my favorite spot, and kicked it."

(Defense is very stable. Do you have any awareness as an attacking player?)
"We are conscious of trying to touch the ball that the defense is desperately sticking to first. We don't want to waste that kind of effort."

(About today's opponent's way of fighting)
"When the opponent had the ball, we were often putting pressure on them. Unlike other teams we recently played against, there were times when the opponent would retreat and have possession of the ball. When the opponent had the ball, we defended with the same mentality as always, so we didn't feel like we were in any dangerous situations. Of course, there were chances for the opponent to create opportunities. We were thinking about what new actions we could take while holding onto the ball more than usual."

(High passing accuracy even in tough times)
"It's great to hear that, but personally, I haven't felt fatigued during games since last season. I may feel it when sprinting, but I don't feel fatigued throughout the game, so I think my condition is not bad."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"I think the players fought very aggressively in a difficult match against a tough opponent. It was very important that we were able to take the lead. Kubo's goal was also crucial as we struggled to score more points."
Under the guidance of a great coach, Sapporo is a great team and there were moments where they could have been defeated, but I think it is of great value that they were able to secure a victory in such an aggressive game. The Levain Cup and league matches will continue soon, so I want to observe the players' conditions and decide on the future match lineup."

(I felt the momentum that we could win if we scored one point. How do you select the members in such a situation?)
"I want to make decisions based on the training so far and the overall performance in the 12 games we have played. In that process, players who have had the opportunity to play due to injuries have shown outstanding performances. If a player's condition is not good, we are of course preparing for the next game."

"Sapporo Petrovic Press Conference Summary"
"We made a lot of passing mistakes in the first half. We should have been more patient and moved the ball around, but instead we made mistakes and were caught on the counter attack."
After taking it, it was immediately taken back.
The opponent also created scoring opportunities using Nagai's speed in their attacks and set plays, and we also had chances. In the midst of that, we were able to keep the score at zero in the first half by sacrificing our bodies despite some mistakes.
In the second half, we moved the ball and attacked while using the width.
We were able to create more chances in the first half, but the first goal was due to the ball being taken away from us while we had possession.
The second goal was also conceded from a mistake.
Giving a chance to a team with the experience, quality, and decisiveness like Tokyo's is decided. Sapporo had to shake up the opponent and launch an attack.

(FC Tokyo's defense was solid, and they effectively used side changes. However, they were unable to take advantage of it afterwards.)
"We were unable to break through with 1-on-1 dribbles after the side changes were made."
"The accuracy of early crosses and last passes, as well as communication with players in the middle, was not going well."
