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

"First of all, I am truly grateful to all the fans and supporters who came to Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka and created a wonderful atmosphere. Hatano had been saying "Let's win and carry it over to next week's J1 match" before the game. It was great that we were able to earn 3 points as a result."

The match was intense with many scenes at the ball, but even in the midst of that, they were focused until the end, not influenced by the judges, with the four players in the DF line at the center. As they continue to play in the U-23, they have become able to play calmly and have grown tremendously by learning what is important to win.

In the midfield, Honda and Abe created a solid wall and progressed the game. Nattawut was able to score with a quick attack after stealing the ball. It was great that the results paid off as he has been training hard. It gives the team momentum when players who work hard in practice are rewarded like this.

We are still an inexperienced team, but we are becoming able to score and win no matter who plays, so we want to continue to play aggressively.
