[Player/Coach Comments]

"Tsuyoshi WATANABE"
(How did you feel about today's match?)
"Last season was the same, but Tosu is a team that fights."
"We have a common understanding as a team when it comes to defense, so we entered the pitch with the intention of executing it as a team."

(What I felt after the game ended)
"I think that losing to the opponent in second balls and ball battles resulted in today's outcome."

(Conceded a large number of goals today despite keeping a clean sheet in the previous two matches. How do you analyze the cause?)
"Each player lost to the opponent."
I couldn't stop myself at the point where I had to stop.
Today, Tosu is generally outperforming Tokyo, which is reflected in today's score.
"We have to accept it and switch gears for the next two days to prepare for the Urawa match."

(The opponent had been playing great, but the part that was lacking for us was)
"Fatigue is not an excuse, as every team experiences it."
The 11 players chosen by the coach must fight more, and I think they were chosen because they are capable. Overall, our spirit was lacking. We were determined to win as a team, but we were outplayed by the opponent.

"Kashif BANGNAGANDE"
(How did you feel about your first appearance in J1?)
"I have been on the bench a few times this season, but I haven't had many opportunities to play. In that situation, I approached today's game with the mindset of first helping the team win. And then, I wanted to play my own game to the fullest."

(Looking back on the match)
"Since the result is everything, I think today's match was a complete defeat."

(Own Reflection Points)
"There was a time when I couldn't choose to move forward even when I had the ball, and there were parts where my aggressiveness didn't last until the end."
"There were many challenges in the game, such as lack of coordination in the defense line and conceding goals while unable to move forward,"

(Defensive coordination)
"The scene of the second goal was due to my poor pressure, I should have defended while erasing the course firmly. If that had been done, I don't think we would have conceded that goal. My mistake caused the goal to be conceded."

(Looking ahead)
"We can't afford to look down as we continue to play back-to-back games from here on out."
"We have back-to-back away games, so we need to switch gears and prepare for the match against Urawa in 3 days."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"Today, I think Tosu was superior in all aspects."
"Today was a complete defeat in that sense."

(There were some scoring opportunities on the offensive end, but where was the factor that prevented them from being scored?)
"I think it was because the Tosu DF team put their bodies on the line with passionate plays in the final moments, causing our shots to lose accuracy."
On the other hand, Sagan Tosu's three goals were fantastic.
I think the first and third points were shots that couldn't be taken no matter what.
"But in the process leading up to that, we gave them a starting point and lost in a one-on-one situation, which led to them creating a shooting opportunity."

(How was the evaluation of today's defense?)
"Today, both Morishige and Ogawa were absent, but I think there will be more games like this in the future."
I believe that it is not about who, but the entire team needs to cover it.
In that sense, I think both Joan OUMARI and Yoshifu did well when they played today, and I also think that Watanabe and Nakamura fought well. However, as I mentioned earlier, I think Tosu was superior in all aspects.

(What are the expectations for Kashif BANGNAGANDE in the future?)
"There was a moment in the second goal where Kashif BANGNAGANDE was able to take advantage of the space that opened up."
I think this experience is a big lesson. I hope you will become an even bigger player.

"Sagan Tosu - Myung Hwi KIM Press Conference Summary"
"I think the players showed their determination and played well. In short, there were many human errors and careless mistakes in the past few games, but today the players were focused and did well."
I think we can continue to play well and connect to the next game because the game content so far has not been bad. However, this is not a satisfactory number of points or wins, so the next game will be important. The next opponent is also strong, so I want to make good preparations, recover, and continue to do our best."

(I think there was a good way to move the ball without letting Tokyo's vertical speed come out, and a good reaction after losing it.)
"I think it's a very difficult task for any team to keep Tokyo from scoring. They have powerful and fast forwards. It's always difficult to keep the line low, so we need to have the courage to compact the line and prepare for their strengths, such as feeding behind or attacking the space."

(For the next match)
"It's not just against Yokohama FM that we're losing, but it's frustrating to lose against any opponent and we're fighting to win every single game. I feel sorry for the fans and supporters for not being able to win."
