"After conceding a goal from a set piece, the momentum shifted to the opponent. We need to properly accept this loss. I think we have to fight in the upcoming matches while keeping in mind the sight of Kawasaki celebrating after today's match."

(The start was very good)
"I think that by allowing a goal from a set piece during that time, it gave the opponent the ability to play with more composure."

(In the second half, we conceded 2 goals)
"We lost possession of our throw-in for the second goal and were hit by a quick counterattack. There are parts that we won't understand until we look back on it, but perhaps our defense wasn't functioning well. In terms of winning matches, there are areas where we need to play better. I think it was a lack of experience."

(It is necessary to connect this match to the next one)
"The period after a loss is very important. We are still in first place, so the upcoming matches will be extremely important. Everyone must accept today's result, and we have to fight through the next 15 matches. It is important how mentally strong everyone can be."

《Kensuke NAGAI》
"I wasn't able to receive the ball in a forward position very well. I need to improve so that I can draw the ball out a bit more. I want to make solid corrections and connect it to the next step."

(In terms of defense, there were many scenes where we applied pressure from the front but couldn't win the ball)
"After conceding the second goal, we found ourselves in a situation where we had to go for a goal. I wanted to make proper corrections. I want to look forward and prepare for next week's match"

(What kind of discussions are happening within the team?)
"We want to fully accept today's loss and work together to rise up. There is no doubt that there are still areas where we need to improve, so we want everyone to work together in the same direction."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"Despite many fans and supporters coming to cheer for us, we couldn't score a goal. It's a frustrating result. The match ended according to Kawasaki's plan. Some players were able to fight, but there were others who still have a long way to go. We fought honorably and fell. Today's defeat shows that we still lacked strength. However, the points we've accumulated so far are something we've earned through our own efforts. I believe the next 15 matches will be the real challenge, so we will fight with all our hearts in each game."

(Kawasaki has been studying Tokyo's style of play)
"I don't know what Coach Oniki was thinking, but I felt that he respected us by changing the lineup. However, we couldn't show the strength to break through the opponent. Player Kengo Nakamura controlled the game well, and we were outplayed until the end. Players of such high quality are indeed impressive. However, even if the opponent came at us in that way, we have aimed to develop the quality to break through since the start of this season. Na SANGHO also played against such a tough opponent for the first time. I hope he can make use of this experience."

(In terms of play intensity and switching between offense and defense, we were outperformed by the opponent in areas where our team has strengths)
"Kawasaki came at us aggressively. We need to develop the ability to overcome that kind of intensity. Kotaro OMORI, who came on during the match, played confidently. There are certainly areas where we are lacking. Kawasaki is also competing in the ACL, and that toughness is part of their team strength. We cannot rise above Kawasaki without breaking through this. In the next 15 matches, we must fight to surpass Kawasaki."

《Kawasaki - Toru ONIKI Coach Press Conference Summary》
"First of all, the fans and supporters of both teams created a really great atmosphere, and we played in our own style, without fear, and the players really pushed forward."
Regarding today's match, I have always been focusing on my feelings. Even if we had lost, I wouldn't have any regrets, but in the end, we won, and I hope to carry this victory forward to the next one.

(Today's opening goal was from a set piece)
"First of all, we hadn't been able to score much from set pieces, so this week we spent a considerable amount of time discussing it, including with the coaching staff. I recognized that in big games like this, those aspects become important. I think it was very good."
