"Arthur SILVA"
"I think today's game was really good. It's difficult to play against such a great opponent away from home. In the first half, we were able to score multiple points and I personally scored my first goal, so I'm really happy about that. From here on, I want to keep up the momentum and run until the end."

(First start, first goal)
"I thought it would be very difficult to score the first goal in a game like today's. However, we were able to score the first goal early on and I was able to add another goal myself. I think that helped the team to settle down a bit. It was great for the team to score three goals in the first half."

(It was a goal from cutting in from the left side, but were there any other options?)
"The coach told me to go for the shot today. My teammates also encouraged me to play aggressively, so I didn't hesitate to aim for the goal in that scene."

"We haven't been able to take points in the last few games and I've been frustrated. I think we were able to play aggressively as a team from the first half. I'm really glad we were able to get 3 points after a long time."

(Just returned from the Japan national team, but there were no problems with my condition)
"I strongly feel that I need to demonstrate what I felt in the Japan national team and continue to grow within the league. I also have a strong desire to lead the team and I don't feel tired or have any thoughts of wanting to rest at all."

(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"Stretching my leg to reach the ball at the last minute is my weapon. Today, I was able to express that on the pitch and it feels good."
In addition, I am always conscious of actively jumping out in front of the goal in the opponent's territory, and that applies to defense as well. I believe that it is my role to demonstrate a presence in both offense and defense, so I am happy that it has taken shape today."

(It has become clear what we need to do as a team)
"As a team, we always talk about continuing to play our own football. We were really well prepared as a team for today's match. I think we were able to show that today."

"I'm glad we were able to win somehow."
The players have been playing in tense matches and have not been able to demonstrate their full potential. Today, I think it was good that they were able to let go and enter the game.
In the end, I thought the temperature would drop a little more, but it was surprisingly humid and there were quite a few exhausted players. I think it was a very important victory to be able to win in this way.
I think even the fans and supporters have been extremely anxious up until this point.
"I think there will be tough matches one after another from here, so I want to fight together with everyone and give it our all."

(Today, we changed our system and members and achieved results. What was our aim?)
"First of all, during the national team week, we had 5 players absent and they only returned 2 days ago. We didn't have much time to prepare. Kobe has been in great form recently, so we knew it would be a difficult match if we didn't prepare well. In particular, if we let Samper play freely, it would be a tough match. So we chose Takahagi to take care of that and he is a player who can bring changes in attack, so we wanted him to control the FW position well. As for Arthur, he has been in good form in recent practices and practice matches, so we chose to play him."

(In the midst of a series of games where we couldn't show our full strength, today we were able to let go, and the reason for that was)
"Every game at this time of year is tense, but as we have been leading for a long time, the desire to win and finish strong gradually turned into a mindset of wanting to hold on and we ended up receiving it. Even in the last game, there were times when we were pushed back, but I think we were able to use our time well and continue to show our fighting spirit until the end. The fact that we were able to prepare for the Kobe game over the past two weeks was crucial."
The players were very eager to train and in a way, I think the way we were beaten in the last game was a good motivation for us. We still have 5 games left, and I think there will be some exciting matches, but we want to fight and achieve victory. I believe that will lead to the strength of our team, so we want to fight with a strong mindset."

"Kobe - Thorsten FINK Press Conference Summary"
"We conceded a goal in the first 15 minutes, but it seemed like the new defensive line wasn't quite settled yet, or that it would take some time for the relationships to improve."
After conceding two super goals from the opponent, the team lost confidence and became timid, which showed in their play. After that, Tokyo scored a fantastic third goal on the counterattack.
What I told them at halftime was to increase their concentration and play better soccer than the opponent in the second half, and to try to score while keeping a clean sheet. I think we were able to play the way I wanted in the second half. We attacked from the sides, scored goals, and kept the opponent at 0 points, but in the end, the team that should have won won, with the momentum from the first half.
First, I want to analyze today's game and use the good and bad parts in the next game. Also, with Fermeren and Oosaki returning to the defense line, I think we will have a familiar feeling in the defense.

(Impression that the opponent was well prepared following the previous match against Hiroshima?)
"In soccer, it is natural for each team to analyze the opponent and create tactics. I think the opponent analyzed us well and created a plan, but we also do the same and there are various factors that contribute to the success of that plan, such as the form of the players, their confidence, and their rhythm. Today, we conceded the first goal early on and the second goal was not a result of the opponent's plan, but rather a goal scored by individual brilliance. I don't think anyone goes into a game with the mindset of being down 0-2, so our plan may have been disrupted, but we will continue to create plans and I think Tokyo deserves praise for playing well today."
