Sei MUROYA Comment
(The team struggled to gain momentum)
"It was a game under very high temperatures and harsh conditions, and I am very frustrated that we couldn't win. However, there will always be a time when we lose, and today was just that day. I want to properly address the issues that arose today and prepare for the next match."

(Among them, we were able to create several chances)
"Today, we were unable to convert our chances. However, up to this point, the attacking line has capitalized on few opportunities and has saved the team multiple times. In such tough games, I feel that keeping a clean sheet and bringing home 1 point is ideal."

(Factors that prevented us from gaining momentum throughout the match)
"In previous matches, we have had close battles many times, but we were able to earn points. No matter how good the performance, there are days like this."
Today, I think the fact that we conceded goals led to this result. It made me feel once again the difficulty of soccer.

Kento HASHIMOTO's Comment
"Everyone played without giving up, and since there were chances until the end, it is a frustrating defeat, but I want to switch gears and look forward to the next one."

(Played as a center-back from the middle of the game)
"Usually, I play in front of the center-backs, so I was able to play without much discomfort. I became a center-back, but when it came to going for goals, I wanted to push more. I wanted to create chances by pushing forward, but I couldn't do that."

(In the second half, there were moments when we held the ball and pushed forward)
"I thought the opponent would gradually tire and spaces would open up, but their defense was quite solid, so the game didn't unfold as I had hoped. If we don't improve on that, especially in the summer, it will become tough."

(This was our first defeat in the league, but)
"The challenge going forward is whether we can control difficult games like this and turn them into victories. If we don't become more proactive in our attacks, I think we will face tough matches in the future. Today was a good lesson, and I want to carry that forward to the next match."

"I am very frustrated about losing."
In the midst of a tough schedule, many fans and supporters came to cheer us on, and I heard that some even traveled directly from the Wednesday match against Tosu.
I wanted to meet those expectations, but I have the impression that my legs didn't quite move until the end.
I wanted to bring in Arthur SILVA in the midfield to move the opponent, but C Osaka is also a solid defensive team, so it wasn't easy to move them. In that situation, conceding one goal is something that can happen. I believe the defense fought with concentration in this heat.
We need to develop the attacking power to score even in any situation. We want to switch gears and fight hard in the next match.

(In terms of physical activity, we didn't see the usual Tokyo style, but what do you think are the factors behind that?)
"I don't think there is just one factor, but the fact that it was an away game with two matches in three days and that it was hotter in Osaka than expected. However, there were players who rested during the Tosu match, so I had some expectations that those players would be able to move a bit more, but they struggled to do so. The players who participated in the consecutive matches did a great job.
Among them, since Arthur was also able to make his league debut, I hope for great things in the future.

《C Osaka - LOTINA Coach Press Conference Summary》
It was a match against a team with good defense, making it difficult to create chances. Even though it seemed like we were dominating the game, there was a risk of counterattacks, and the players with speed and quality were aiming for quick attacks. We focused on our positioning when we had the ball, while being mindful of the opponent's fast breaks, and aimed to attack. I think our defense was good throughout the match, and in terms of attack, we were able to move the ball well and enter the opponent's area.
The opponent created chances, but I am satisfied with the victory, and not just the victory, but also with the team's fighting spirit.
