"Hirotaka MITA"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"In that situation, I passed the ball vertically to Adailton after it came, but it was called a foul. However, the ball was stopped firmly, so I quickly restarted the play and the opponent's movement also stopped. It was good that I was able to leave it behind and score a goal."

(I think there was an accent in the attack)
"Today's game was a game where I personally put in a lot of effort."
The day before, I talked with Coach Masaru HASEGAWA and he told me he wanted me to be more involved in the attack, so I wanted to live up to his expectations. I'm glad we were able to get a result and win today."

(Today's game was a good one where our strengths were highlighted.)
"As young players are emerging, I told myself that I need to step up and lead the team, and that's how I approached the game today."
I think my strength is being able to touch the ball in the center, front, and back.
"I was able to play naturally, not in the usual style, because I haven't been able to do that since I came back to Tokyo."

(Thoughts on former team Sendai)
"A club where I was greatly taken care of, and where I spent two successful seasons."
I think we were able to play interesting football during our time in Sendai, and I am truly grateful to the club that holds a special place in my heart."

"Akihiro HAYASHI"
(Reflecting on what I felt throughout the game and the scene of the big save in the second half)
"Today, I often hesitated on the pass route when kicking during the game. There were limited places to create time as a team."
Sendai didn't allow us to play the game the way we wanted to, which left a strong impression.
Regarding the opponent's shooting scene in the second half, I went to catch it, but I was aware that no one was around. I also couldn't catch it well, so I looked around again and chose to pass the ball to the side of the goal in order to use up some time.
The moment of the shot, the ball was not in my field of view, so it was a reaction when it came out, but I was conscious of not making a big action to match the timing. Recently, I have been playing with the consciousness of not doing preparatory movements and not spreading my feet wide. There are also some things that I can't understand without watching the video, but I was playing with attention to those points."

(The coach said that he was focusing on the details that he couldn't do in the Oita game. How did the team and GK perceive that point?)
"Details mean that no matter what the content is, we have to get results, that's how I interpret it."
In order to do that, it is necessary to be able to defend firmly even if the team does not work well or if the defense does not function well. The Kobe game was also like that, the way to use the last time is important. In that game, I had the feeling that if I could devise how to use the time more, I could have escaped. It was the same with the Oita game, but looking at the way the team fought back from 2-1, I think we should pay attention to the details.
"In that sense, we were able to come together as a team and win today."

(Is the detail part something that changes with awareness? There should be difficult parts physically and mentally exhausted during consecutive games)
"In consecutive games, there may be times when we cannot go to places where we can normally go. There are also times when young players play instead of the usual members."
There are certainly times when, even in special circumstances, coordination is not in sync. However, that does not mean that without it, we cannot win.
I think that being able to win with any team is about paying attention to details.
"We will have to play in various situations, such as the opponent's situation, our own condition, and the members at that time, but I think we cannot catch up with Kawasaki unless we show our strength in any situation."

(Recently, there have been times when we have conceded despite having numbers in front of goal. As for our defense as a team today)
"There were many situations where we were being pushed around, but in the end, the whole team put their bodies on the line to defend."
The defense line in particular held up well. It's better not to have this kind of game, but with a strong defense, we can pull off a win even if we only score one point. Sometimes we have to play like that.

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We talked about focusing on the details for today's match. The players were able to express their intensity and attention to detail on both offense and defense, which they were unable to do in the previous Oita match. They were able to fight until the very end with their emotions. Our next challenge is to score more points. We will switch gears and continue to do our best for the upcoming match against C Osaka in just two days."

(Amazing final goal. It showed the high quality of our practice, but what kind of mindset)
"We told them to focus on winning. Today, Mita played with all their heart. They have been working hard lately, but I feel like they haven't fully shown their potential yet. I talked to Mita a little bit and they came into today's game with a strong determination. I think that's what led to today's final goal."

(I felt the defensive pressure, especially from players Mita and Uchida, who didn't let the opponent's midfielder do their job)
"In the previous match, our defense was a bit loose, so we had a meeting to focus on details such as closing the gap and positioning. We don't have much time to practice our attacking, but if we don't take advantage of scoring opportunities, we'll be punished."
The big point is that we were able to take the lead today. I think it's thanks to Mita and Uchida for playing with high intensity.

(Nagai, who made a great contribution even as a substitute in defense)
"It was a situation where we were pushed back, but there were no major problems with the defense, so Nagai made sure to prevent long balls from being kicked by pushing up three or four times, and made a solid contribution for the team."

"Sendai Takashi KIYAMA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a game where we wanted to stop our losing streak, but it was really painful to concede a goal in the early stages of the game."
After that, we tried to attack more aggressively using the sides, and although we created a few chances, our true desire was to attack even more.
In the second half, the opponent defended well and we tried to score a second goal, but we couldn't find the back of the net.

(Regarding the decision to use a 3-back formation from the start)
"Considering that we only had 3 days to prepare, I don't think the system itself was that bad. We need to fine-tune some details, but overall I don't think it was bad."

(Which side had the bigger aim?)
"I always have the desire to attack, but when considering the current state of the team, I first chose to focus on not conceding goals and made the decision to play with a back three."
