《Keigo HIGASHI》
It was good to take the lead with a set piece when we had the chance to score a second goal as a team, but we need to develop the ability to score a second and third goal.
I think there are still challenges. For example, we need to calmly respond to the opponent's power play and make the decision to defend where we need to defend.
I believe similar situations will arise in the future, so it is important not to repeat the same mistakes.
Regarding the decisions, I can't say anything. Even if I say something here, it won't lead to any progress, and the referees change every time, so I think that's just how it is. More than that, we need to focus on ourselves.

This is a very difficult time, and I believe that fans and supporters are also struggling, but I trust that a beautiful view awaits us when we overcome this.
Winning means that this is how tough the journey is. It's not easy to win.
From here on, the next six matches will be crucial in determining how the team can regroup. Of course, today’s disappointing loss makes it difficult to switch gears, but we need to face reality and use the time during the international break to reflect on what each individual needs to improve.
I don't think everything was bad; I believe it was a good match. I want to focus on the positive aspects and calmly make judgments to connect to the next step.

《Hirotaka MITA》
"At the start of the match, we were pushed back by the opponent's momentum, but we gradually regained our flow and it was good that we were able to score first. However, in the end, due to the atmosphere of the stadium, we lost our momentum and conceded a goal, resulting in a regrettable defeat."
However, more than that, there was a strong desire to score the second goal.

(Reflecting on my own play)
"When I was on the field, I wasn't able to perform well, so I thought I just had to keep working hard in practice."
I think we were able to show some level of play today despite the intense and tough training. I want to build on this from here.

(First goal after the transfer. Thoughts at the moment it went in)
"It was the team's opening goal, and I was very happy at that moment."

(Please tell us about the aim of the scene where you scored directly from the corner kick)
"I scored directly from a corner kick for the first time, and I’m glad it went in as planned, based on the shape we’ve been practicing regularly."

(What kind of play do you want to show in the future?)
"I want to focus on playing in a way that is dynamic in both offense and defense."
Today was truly a disappointing result, but all the players and staff united from practice, and we absolutely want to win against Kobe. We want to earn 3 points and continue competing for the championship. I believe there is no need to rush yet. It is important to steadily accumulate 3 points from here on.

《Tokyo - Masaru HASEGAWA Coach Kenta's Press Conference Summary》
"It was a very frustrating result, and it's hard to accept. We couldn't score the second goal. After taking the lead with Mita's corner kick, we needed to go for another goal as a team, but we were pushed back by Tosu's momentum. With a two-week break, I want to continue training properly as a team. I wonder if it's acceptable for the referee to dismiss things with just the comment that they couldn't see. I believe it's their job to see what is not visible, and while it can't be helped if it's said that this is also part of soccer, I still wonder about it. However, there's no point in regretting it, so I want to prepare well for the next match."

(About today's match)
"I believe that the results are entirely my responsibility, so I think the players fought well until they cramped up. However, we have been struggling to bring momentum with our substitutions in the last few matches, so we need to consider that, including the bench members."

《Tosu - Myung Hwi KIM Director Press Conference Summary》
I believe we were able to achieve results thanks to the atmosphere created by the supporters and their encouragement. Regarding the content, since we were up against Tokyo, we started off cautiously to avoid conceding goals, but ultimately we did concede. While we had our own plans, I felt we leaned too much towards neutralizing the opponent's strengths.
Regarding the second half, with 15 minutes remaining, I think Tosu's power really came through as we aimed to make the most of Toyoda. We are still not in a situation to be satisfied. We understand that we have only won one out of thirty-four, and we want everyone to stay humble and prepare for the next match.

(What preparations have been made against the top-ranked FC Tokyo?)
"When facing Tokyo, while it's important to connect passes carefully, we also need to approach the goal and get into scoring positions. Considering the power balance with them, I think the formation that is most likely to work today is this one."
It fully utilized the characteristics of Toyota.S, and the surrounding players understood and supported that. I believe the results were created by the players reacting according to the opponent. He has the ability to finish, so whether it was connecting with short passes or using long balls for Toyota.S, we aimed for those aspects depending on the situation. I think we were able to showcase those parts well.
