《Manato SHINADA》
(This was Hinata's first professional goal)
"Since we were in a situation where we were losing by two goals, we had no choice but to go for it as a team."
Since we had switched to a double pivot, I think I was able to enter the scene with momentum when I scored the goal.

(I think Leandro's goal also started from a vertical pass by Shinada)
"At first, I was thinking of dropping the ball between the opponent's defender and goalkeeper with a lofted ball."
I saw a momentary gap, so I judged that I could make a ground pass.
I was able to understand the positioning of Nagai and Leandro, so it was good that it led to a goal.

(The match had a lot of goals conceded)
"I lost the ball leading to the third goal."
Both the first and second goals conceded were due to our own mistakes.
We need to eliminate conceding goals in that manner, and I want to apply this lesson to the next match.

(There was a considerable amount of movement in both offense and defense)
"The anchor position must take on roles in both offense and defense across a wide area.
I am confident in my physical strength, and I believe the coach appreciates that aspect as well.
Running is one of my characteristics, and I believe I can play a different role as an anchor compared to other players, so I want to showcase what I can do now.

《Kyosuke TAGAWA》
(Although I came on as a substitute, what was I aware of when I entered the pitch)
"Just before I entered the pitch, we had conceded a goal, and we were in a situation with a two-goal deficit.
It was truly a situation where we had no choice but to move forward, and the entire team had not given up on the match.
I think I was able to enter the match with momentum even though I came on as a substitute.

(Created chances in a short amount of time, but felt the response)
"I feel that my condition is improving with each match I play."
That's why I want to make more movements that can lead to goals and create opportunities.

(In 3 days, the next match will be at home against Sendai)
"Next time, we want to take the lead and add more goals, and control the game at our own pace."
I believe we have the strength. I want to show that strength from the beginning and connect it to results next time.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"Unfortunately, we started off with the opponent coming in refreshed, and we couldn't take control of the pace.
There were some close moments in the first half, but it was a difficult match. The second half wasn't bad either, but we lost the ball in a high position and conceded a goal.
After that, we caught up, but we conceded the second goal first, leading to a situation where we had to chase the game. After it became 1-3, we were able to launch powerful attacks. We need to fight at home from the first half in that way. Even in consecutive matches, we want to muster our strength and prepare to play a game that reflects our style since the next match is also at home.

(The harvest is)
"In the final stages, Tagawa and Hara came in and clearly changed the flow.
Adailton's entry further increased the vertical momentum. They had a strong presence. The starting players were not bad, but it was very reassuring. Also, Uchida was used as a defensive midfielder, and I think he played very well despite being in an unfamiliar position.

(Manato SHINADA scored his first goal and provided the pass that led to Leandro's goal)
"However, the third goal originated from the moment when Manato was dispossessed. I hope we can eliminate plays like that, but he is becoming more prominent in each match. His sense of timing to enter the box is showing. He is originally a player with a strong mid-range shot, so I hope he can express himself even more from here."

(The system was changed during the player substitution. What was the intention?)
"The intention was to increase the number of attacking players."
It became 1-1, and since we were at home, we increased our attacking numbers. Furthermore, to apply pressure on the opponent, we approached their goal in a formation similar to four forwards.
After the 1-1, it was painful to concede the second goal to the opponent first. However, I think it was good that we kept attacking without giving up until the end.

《Oita - Manager Tomohiro Katano's Press Conference Summary》
"With two days between away matches, and facing a strong team like Tokyo, I prepared with the understanding that it would be a really tough game."
To put it simply, being able to take 3 points against Tokyo at Ajinomoto Stadium is a wonderful achievement. I believe it's thanks to the players.
Not only the 18 players who joined the squad today, but also those who remained in Oita all prepared well for today's match. There were players who played in a match for the first time in a while, but they focused and fought hard, and I believe that their ability to stay on target contributed to our three points.
I have had very frustrating feelings and tough matches against Tokyo until now.
I am really glad that we were able to win against Tokyo despite the fact that we both had consecutive matches. I believe we must continue this and turn this precious three points into our next opportunity, so the next match will also be a consecutive game at home, and I want to prepare well and fight to have a good game.
