"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
"Last year, we couldn't score a single point.
But just winning as a team, that alone makes me happy."

(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"I ran feeling like a chance might come, but it was more like my body moved rather than me thinking about something. In any case, I felt that the team needed one more goal, so it was good that I was able to take it with my own goal."

(After scoring, I immediately went to the fans and supporters)
"Since the distance was close, it was great to be able to share the joy with the fans and supporters."

"Kento HASHIMOTO"
"The opponent had possession of the ball for a long time, but there were also scenes where we were able to steal the ball and create chances. However, we wanted to increase that number even more."

(Today, the idea was to lure the opponent in and then attack)
"Rather than luring them in, we went in with the intention of stealing the ball first. However, the opponent also had high technical skills, especially their central midfielder who distributed high-quality balls from there. So, we ended up putting pressure while keeping the center tight."

(There were also scenes where we could have taken the third goal)
"I think if we were able to score the third goal among the chances we had, we could have carried the game more easily. We knew that if we couldn't take the third goal, the opponent's momentum would increase in the end of the game, so that is something we want to work on in the future."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We were able to achieve a victory that met the expectations of our many fans and supporters who came to Nagoya. Unlike Sapporo, it was extremely humid and although the temperature wasn't high, the humidity was high, making it a tough game."
We were able to stay focused until the end, but there was a scene where we could have scored a third goal. If we had scored there, the game would have been decided. We conceded one goal due to a mistake, but we were able to stay calm and carry the game. It's a historic moment to earn 3 points at Paloma Mizuho Stadium, and it gives confidence to the team."

(About how to fight against a 3-back team)
"(The previous match against) Hiroshima was hot, and I wanted to go forward, but my body couldn't move. Thanks to that match, I was able to play aggressively in the next match against Sapporo. Today, I didn't expect the opponent to have a 3-back, but I was able to respond well. I was able to challenge what I couldn't do in the Hiroshima match. From now on, I want to be able to score against 3-back opponents as well."

(Mita was substituted in from the start of the second half, but was expected to make moves with the 2 top players)
"We were also expecting him to make moves up front, but in the first half, Omori himself did a good job, but I think he could have done a little more. Mita can be a distributor, calmly passing the ball in the attacking areas. We need one more FW to make moves and score. There were also moments where Nagai made runs and Mita was very good."

(Takahagi scored his first goal of the season, his first goal in two seasons)
"He's been doing what he can do well. He's been involved in a lot of attacks but hasn't been able to score. But today, he was able to score. I want him to have confidence and continue to play like this. He's been very enthusiastic about shooting practice and it paid off. I hope he continues to aim for goals in the future."

"Nagoya - Yahiro Kazama Press Conference Summary"
"I think we were able to play good football from the first half. It was a little disappointing to concede a goal there, but more than that, it was painful to concede a goal when we were trying to step up our game in the second half."
However, there were players who played in unfamiliar positions today, and it was tough because the players couldn't come together easily, but I think we were able to create our own style and attack until the end. I've said it many times, but I think we need to do something about the final accuracy, that's the challenge."
