[Player and Coach Comments]

《Go HATANO Player》
"Before the match, I was honestly nervous, but once the game started, I was able to get into it smoothly."
Although we couldn't win as a result, I feel good that we were able to keep it at zero.
There were mistakes, but I want to work hard to build on that and move on to the next step.

(After the match, I was also praised for my nice play by my teammates)
"To be honest, I was really nervous, so now that the match is over and I was able to keep a clean sheet, I feel relieved. We couldn't win, but that was a good point."

(The opportunity for a J1 debut match has come here. What kind of feelings were you playing with?)
"At the beginning of the camp, I was third in line, and I felt very frustrated.
At the beginning of this year, the Tokyo Olympics were also scheduled, and I had a strong desire to win the league in Tokyo. I believe that the preparations I made from the start of the season contributed to keeping that preparation to zero.

(There were some big saves, and I played calmly, but I feel)
"It was not a big save; I believe it was just a result of taking the correct position, and the opponent happened to shoot right in front of me."
From there, I was able to ride the momentum in a good way, and I think that led to a good start.

(In the midst of consecutive matches, it should become a great strength for the team. Looking ahead)
"I want to inject my characteristic energy into the team. I strongly wish to give back my power to Tokyo."


《Ryoya OGAWA》
(Reflecting on the match)
"I think today we were able to fight well as a team, starting from our defense."
Today, I thought that player Sakamoto, who matched up, would be the key player, so I personally focused on that aspect as I entered the match.

I think we were able to maintain a tenacious defense throughout the match.
"Leandro on the same side came back well, and we were able to defend very well as a team.
It is very helpful that they drop back and defend, and I think that players Takahagi and Abe in the midfield also slid left and right, allowing the entire team to defend well.

(There were many attacks from the left side)
"I think the distance between the players was good because we were able to defend well."
However, there were parts where we could attack, but as an individual, there were also mistakes, so I want to correct those areas.

(It was a match where both offense and defense were balanced)
"We spent time discussing the part where everyone attacks and everyone defends during this week's training, and we implemented it in today's match.
As a result, I think we were able to have a cohesive match like today.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"I think we were able to have a tight match."
I believe we were able to fight while showing our strengths throughout the 90 minutes against a strong C Osaka. Given the previous match, I think today's point is a significant step forward.
Of course, while we need to further power up, the players who came on as substitutes also performed well. Looking ahead to the upcoming series of matches, we want to fight with all our strength.

(With the emergence of young players, the outlook for the consecutive matches is)
"I don't know what the situation will be like from now on, but with some players injured, there are exciting young players who have come forward.
I hope we can proceed with this series of matches in a way that we can enjoy it to some extent.
I thought that if we didn't have a tight match against C Osaka, we wouldn't stand a chance today. In the last few matches, we conceded a lot of goals, but today we were able to play a solid game. I want to make sure we turn matches like this into victories next time.

(Evaluation of Go HATANO's first start)
"He did well to keep a clean sheet for his first start and made a significant contribution."

(Intent of using Go HATANO)
"I used him to change the flow of the match."
Recently, he seemed to be in good condition during practice, and with his peers and players from the same generation participating in matches, he was actively working to make his way in. Today, I made the decision to utilize him.
His peers and younger generations are also emerging. Being from the Tokyo Olympic generation, I hope they continue to play with high aspirations in the future.

《C Osaka - LOTINA Coach Press Conference Summary》
"I am not satisfied with the result, but I am satisfied with the performance."
We dominated the game, pushed the opponent back, regained possession in their territory, and they had to defend for a considerable amount of time. We were also able to manage risks. I believe we were able to control and advance the game except for the last 10 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, we took more risks to score, which created space and allowed the opponent's counterattacks, but I am satisfied with the overall performance.

(While carefully holding the ball and creating chances, what we want to add in our attack to win such matches is)
"If we could have scored one goal, it would have changed the situation. Especially, if we had scored in the early chances, the opponent would have had to push forward, and we could have attacked in a situation with more space. I believe we would be discussing a different game development right now."
