"Tokyo U-23 Manager Tetsu NAGASAWA's Press Conference Summary"
"First of all, despite having a top team match today, it was very reassuring to see fans and supporters come to cheer us on."
I am relieved that I was able to deliver victory.

The key point of the match was how far we, with an average age of 17, could challenge the top-ranked Kumamoto, who is currently on a 6-game winning streak.
I thought we could create chances by aggressively taking the ball from Kumamoto, who builds up their attack.

We conceded one point, but we played forward with a positive attitude and managed to score two points.
We fought hard without fear and made our way towards the goal, which is commendable.
Despite having the chance to score the third and fourth goals, we must reflect on our inability to score and continue to train harder.

The game continues, but our goal is to send as many players as possible to the top team.
I know the pressure of fighting for the region like in Kumamoto, but the U-23 players are also risking their own lives and doing their best with gritted teeth.
"We want to respond to the passionate feelings of the U-18 players who are trying to seize their chance, and we want to continue to do our best."
