[Player/Coach Comments]

"Na SANGHO"
"All players were hungry for victory. I think that hunger led to victory."

(After being scored on first, the fact that we were able to quickly catch up was a big point for today)
"I think luck was on our side. I knew we had to create an opportunity to counterattack, so I'm glad my shot resulted in a goal and was able to strengthen the momentum of the entire team."

(In the goal scene, I thought it was stopped because the GK touched it)
"From practice, I think it was because I was consciously trying to shoot with a one-beat faster timing than usual, which may have thrown off the opponent's GK."

(Played on the left side today)
"I think the left side is my strong position, but I need to be able to play on both sides. I have played on the left side a lot for the Korean national team, and I think Coach Hasegawa also considers using me in that position. I feel like I have met those expectations, and I need to continue to be a weapon for the team and contribute to victories."

(The team will turn the league around in first place)
"I thought today's game was a very important match, and winning the last game of the first half will be a good start for the upcoming games."

"Kensuke NAGAI"
"Today, we were able to score 4 points and score in the way we were aiming for."

(Looking back on my scoring scene)
"A good ball came from Takahagi player, and I was able to control it well. In the battle with the GK, I aimed for the top of the opponent's GK and was able to score the goal as I imagined."

"I think my experience with the national team has helped me to stay calm and play well in front of goal. In the scene where I assisted, I was able to work well with Diego OLIVEIRA and bring the finish, so I think the team will be able to gain momentum again."

(About Kubo)
"Even if Kubo is gone, what we do won't change. We will continue to compete and improve within the team as we enter the second half of the season."

(Second half enthusiasm)
"We are currently in first place, but we are always challengers. We want to continue to work hard with a single-minded focus, never forgetting that we are challengers."

"Keigo HIGASHI"
"It was a game where we absolutely had to win 3 points."
"We were at the end of the first half and in the midst of a losing streak, but we all encouraged each other to give it our all from the warm-up. I think this led to a good result."

(7 shots, 4 goals. It was a very efficient attack.)
"Na SANGHO, Nagai, and Diego OLIVEIRA scored for us. The best part was coming from behind and winning. It gave us a lot of confidence."

(The whole team was putting pressure from the front line)
"It's really big to be able to win even after conceding two goals and turn around in first place. With Kubo's transfer and the team starting from scratch, I think. I wanted to send off my teammates with a good feeling today. I think that also led to a good result."

(Upcoming battles)
"I think there is still a tough second half waiting for us, so even when the team is not doing well, I want us to come together and get back on track without falling apart. This victory is truly a big one, but I want us to work towards the next game so that we can still be smiling at the end."


"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We had no choice but to fight today."
Yokohama FM's players fought aggressively during their soccer match, resulting in today's victory.
We were able to score decisive goals while playing in our own style, and it was a morale-boosting result for the team that both our two top players and Na SANGHO scored.
"Although the 5-game series has ended, I want to do my best in the remaining 2 games."

(Yokohama FM set a high line and attacked behind it. Regarding accuracy and speed of the aim)
"Without Tatehide, there are no players who can create a pause."
There were no players involved in the previous two. That's where Na SANGHO was the key.
Today, we were able to launch several fast breaks from his starting point by placing him on the left.
Yokohama FM is a high line. Our point is to attack quickly after taking the ball.
It was about who could score the points. We were able to score points by working well together in the second and third rows.

(About 2 goals lost)
"Today, we formed a team that will continue to attack even if we lose points. I think it can't be helped."
Today, there is also a ceremony for Take (Kubo), and many fans and supporters will come.
I was thinking that it was not about fighting tactically, but about showing our strengths and accepting defeat if we lost.
Our weapon surpassed Yokohama FM.
It's always better not to concede, but it's even more amazing to score four points. I think the players did their best.

"Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary"
"It was a really disappointing result. The reason for that is because even though we played well, we couldn't get the desired outcome. We had plenty of chances but couldn't convert them, and we made mistakes in defense. When we make those kinds of mistakes, teams like Tokyo will take advantage and beat us. It's really unfortunate."

(The content was good, but I think the speed of attack was not enough for Yokohama FM. What about that?)
"It was a really difficult game. Because Tokyo's defense was really solid, and they even defended deep. It would have been good if we could have gone to the space behind with our usual speed, but the opponent's defense was deeper. So I think it was important to concentrate and calmly pass the ball. If we concede and the game becomes a chase, it becomes a difficult situation."
I think if we had taken the lead and scored 2 or 3 points, the situation would have been different, but instead we gave the opponent confidence. It's frustrating to lose, but it's even more frustrating when the performance was good but the result didn't follow.
