[Player and Coach Comments]

《Shuto ABE》
"We conceded a goal at the end, but we had a chance to score the fourth goal before that. I realized once again that if we don't finish those chances, we will get punished in the end. It's frustrating, but I want to switch gears and be able to say it was a good experience when the season is over."

(Thoughts on Scoring My First Goal)
"It was my first goal as a professional, but I had some close shots in previous matches and felt like I hadn't been able to score. I was really wanting to score, and today I managed to do it, which also turned out to be the game-winning goal for the team, so I'm genuinely happy about it."

(Looking back at the goal in a bit more detail)
"Arthur SILVA was keeping the ball, and I was positioned right between the opposing defenders. The position to receive the ball was good, and when I checked around before receiving it, there were no defenders towards the goal, so I thought I could go for it and turned without touching the ball. When I looked up at the goal, the right corner was open, so I kicked it hard with my left foot. The ball flew in the direction I intended, so it was a satisfying goal for me."

Leandro
(About the goal scene. Did you discuss with Ogawa to decide the kicker?)
"We had decided on the kicker beforehand, but we talked again just before. Depending on the situation, it can change who takes the kick, but this time it was decided that I would take it."

(6 goals in the league so far. 3 goals in the last 4 matches. The reason for the good form is)
"I'm happy to hear that I'm in good form. However, as a team, we were caught up at the end, and it's very frustrating. We can only switch to the next match."

(Equalized at the end of the match and ended in a draw. How do you perceive such matches?)
"Of course, I wanted to score more goals, and it would have been great if we could have somehow prevented the third goal, but since we couldn't do that, I feel disappointed."

(Towards the next match)
"Since we have consecutive matches coming up, I want to make sure to rest well and prepare for the next game."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"It turned into a back-and-forth scoring match, which was not typical for this matchup, but I believe that we led in the first half and that all the players performed well until the very last play of the second half."
Although there were some moments at the end where we showed vulnerability, I truly believe we played a really good game overall.
We want to positively take the one point from the away game and fight hard again to earn three points in the next home match against Shonan.

《Hiroshima・Summary of the Press Conference by Coach Hiroshi JOFUKU》
"The supporters have always pushed us forward with their only means of applause. We wanted to take all three points, but I felt a bit relieved to have secured one point in the end.
Regarding the content, we knew that the opponent had individual strength, and even while we were attacking, we were prepared for a quick counterattack. The players approached the game with that mindset, and I remember that we conceded two goals from two shots, which should not have happened. We need to reflect on our defensive positioning and the overall hard work of the team, but I believe that our persistence in connecting the ball and expanding the play to create opportunities in our own style ultimately led to earning one point.
I want to strongly reflect on the fact that it became a chasing game, but I want to continue playing our style of soccer.
