"FC Tokyo U-23 Tetsu NAGASAWA Manager Press Conference Summary"

"I have heard that there are fans and supporters who came straight from yesterday's J1 Nagoya match. I am extremely grateful and feel that they have lent us their strength."

The game was a bit slow in the first half, but in the second half, we changed our positions and were able to move the ball forward, resulting in us being able to score the first goal as planned.

The young players of the DF line were working hard with high concentration, but it was still a very educational game in terms of the flow of the match. Through this game, they were able to experience various things, which I believe will contribute to their future strength.

Towards the end, 16-year-old players (Leon NOZAWA, Kojiro YASUDA) each created a chance and showed a very aggressive attitude, so I think they will become valuable assets in the future.

Other players were able to run well and fight in the second half, so we want to pursue these things such as the ball-winning moments and the small details that will determine the outcome of the game in order to win these types of games.

Overall flow was not bad, so I want to approach the next battle with the mindset of taking advantage of being young.
