[Player/Coach Comments]

"Leandro"
(Looking back on the match)
"I am very happy to have won at home today."

(Looking back on the goal scene)
"The opponent was closing in on me and there was no time, but I was able to aim for the goal successfully."
When I received the ball, I looked for my teammate once, but there were no options, so I decided to go for a shot.
As a result, it was really good that we were able to decide."

(The goal that led to the team's victory)
"I think we are able to show the results of our practice in the game."
"Today, it was really good to be able to score the goal that led the team to victory."

"Sei MUROYA"
(The last game in Tokyo)
"I'm just glad we were able to end with a victory."

(The scoring scene started with Muroya's defense)
"I don't remember much, but there was space in the midfield and I was able to put pressure on by filling that space, which allowed me to steal the ball."
"I took some risks in defense, but I think it ultimately led to a good result."

(Leandro scored, but Muroya was also aiming for the rebound)
"I was hoping for a chance to come to me, so I was ready to pounce if the ball came my way."

(I think we talked about wanting to play an enchanting game before the match)
"If I could say one thing, I wanted to create more chances in the attacking areas."
As a team, we were able to end the first half with a 1-0 lead, so considering that the opponent is a team that is good at ball possession, I was playing with a strong focus on defense as a side back.
I think we were able to show our strength and fighting spirit on the field.

(After the ceremony, what I thought while circling Ajinomoto Stadium)
"There were fans and supporters holding a number 2 jersey and writing messages on flags."
It was the moment when I thought to myself, "I'm really glad I came to this team."
"It was a situation where I couldn't express my thoughts out loud, so it was a lonely place, but it was a time when I strongly felt everyone's thoughts."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very hot and humid game, but being able to score the first goal was crucial."
"We were able to continue the game at our own pace in the second half and it would have been even better if we could have scored more points. However, considering that we haven't won in several games, I think it's a huge confidence boost to have won at home against a strong Nagoya team."

(The scene of the opening goal was also like that, but we were able to develop attacks from good defense)
"We were able to get a feel for the team in the previous match. Although the position was slightly changed, I think we were able to score in a good flow. The opening goal was taken through a combination from a high position, switching from attack to defense. It was a wonderful goal."

(Regarding Muroya, who will transfer to Germany after today)
"Of course, losing a player who is on the Japan national team is a huge blow for the team. Especially this season, his crossing accuracy has improved and he has been creating chances from the side."
Just decided to transfer, won't be here from the next match. I think we need to fill in the hole left by Hashimoto's transfer and Higashi's injury together.

(There was a discussion about wanting to balance offense and defense for this game yesterday, but regarding the result of 1-0 against Nagoya)
"Nagoya had a great game against Kawasaki and in the league, they are riding high after a big win against Urawa as a team."
Tokyo also had to play a tight game like the C Osaka match. In that sense, I think the balance between offense and defense was good. However, in the future, we must not only take the lead, but also score more points and hold on to them in order to earn points.

"Nagoya - Massimo FICCADENTI Press Conference Summary"
"The game went as expected."
Against Tokyo, who firmly closed the center, we fell into a trap and conceded a bad goal by losing the ball.
It was an inevitable development that we would receive a quick attack if we made a bad mistake, as we were also putting a lot of people forward due to the fact that they were defending so tightly.
I think it was also the opponent's intention to create a heavy ground condition by sprinkling water.

(Could not create a starting point on the side)
"It was known before the game that there was fatigue from consecutive games, so it cannot be used as an excuse."
What kind of game should have been played in that situation?
I think it's not about being able to create a starting point, but rather the lack of speed when transitioning to attack.
The order of moving the ball was correct, but without speed, it will just be defended in the same way on the opposite side, and we couldn't create the shape of that part well."
