"Masato MORISHIGE"
(The first half started off well, but the second half seemed to lose momentum)
"Simply put, the reason was that our physical strength dropped in the second half."
In the first half, we were able to create time for ourselves by utilizing the space on the side of the midfield, but in the second half, the members changed and we were forced to succumb to the opponent's momentum as a team.

(The feeling that the first half was too rushed)
"I think it was the usual start. If I had to say, I wanted to score 2 or 3 goals in the first half."
In the second half, the impression was that we were pushed back due to being at a disadvantage in the midfield.
"I feel like the game has become too open throughout."

(This season, Kashima has a lot of goals conceded from set pieces, but was there any analysis done as a team?)
"We understood that Kashima had a lot of goals conceded from set pieces. However, as Tokyo, we also had few goals scored from set pieces last season, so we talked about wanting to increase our goals from set pieces this season."
"I have already scored 2 goals this season, and I have also been able to score 1 goal, so I want to score more goals from set plays."

"Tsuyoshi WATANABE"
(The equalizer in the midst of being behind was crucial for the team)
"I thought the goal we conceded was my own mistake."
"It was good to be able to regain control at our own goal, but the scene of conceding is still regrettable."

(Mita player entered today and produced 2 goals with set plays)
"Last season, we also scored from Mita player's kick in the away Oita match, and we have practiced together many times, so if I start running, the ball will come. I think Mita player's kick is a big weapon for the team."

(There may be times when we reflect on the scenes where we conceded, but overall it was a good performance in both attack and defense.)
"Conceding in that way in a situation where there were few chances against us shows a weakness in our team."
As a team, we are able to play good defense, but we must reduce the number of goals conceded like we did today.
"Looking back at the game, I couldn't maintain a strong defense in the second half and gave the opponent some chances. As an individual, I want to improve my physical and mental strength."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We could have had a great start, and if we had scored a goal in the first 15 minutes, the game could have turned out differently."
The last 15 minutes were an open game and Kashima also created dangerous scenes, but everyone showed an aggressive play aiming for the opponent's goal. The away game against Kashima was a difficult match and it was not easy to take victory easily.
I want to take it positively that we all earned 1 point in that.
Today, Uchida played well in his first J1 League start.
I have high expectations for the future, and Mita also recorded 2 assists, demonstrating his accuracy in set plays and his technical abilities in midfield.
For the team, it is also very significant in terms of the emergence of new strength. In addition, with the continuous games in August, we want to fight firmly as a whole team."

(Two goals from set plays. Did you analyze it?)
"Regarding set plays, the coaching staff analyzes and communicates to the players."
I think the kicker's accuracy and the way the players entered the goal were good. We scored two points from set plays, but it's a shame we couldn't finish our chances from the flow of the game."

(The aim of the second half)
"I told the players at halftime to continue playing aggressively in the second half."
"I think I made a little mistake by sending a message to Adailton and Konno to attack even more when we were winning."

"Kashima -ZAGO Coach Press Conference Summary"
"In the first half, we continued to have ball losses and mistakes that were not our usual form."
I haven't been able to express what I've been doing so far. One of the reasons for that is that Tokyo has been pressing high. It took a little more ingenuity to get through it. Also, I think we lost our rhythm because we didn't settle down enough in the build-up.
In the second half, we were able to create space for ourselves by putting pressure on them as we did in the first half, and there were also moments where we were able to score due to them dropping back overall and our natural stopping of our feet.
There were more chances. However, unfortunately, there are times when we end up conceding more goals the more we practice defensive set plays.
Overall, we are still in the process of building, but I think we were able to express a part of the football we are aiming for.
I hope that those who are watching will continue to see this kind of thing. This is what I am aiming for. There are many areas that require fine-tuning, such as quality, accuracy, and timing, but I think it is in a state of development. We need to improve our goals from set plays a little more."
