《Tsuyoshi WATANABE》
(How did you feel going into today's match)
"Like last season, Tosu is a team that fights.
As for defense, there is a common understanding as a team, so we entered the pitch with the mindset to bring that out as a team.

(What I felt after the match)
"I think losing the second balls and battles for the ball against the opponent led to today's result."

They had two consecutive matches without conceding a goal, but today they suffered a heavy defeat. How will they analyze the cause?
"Each player was beaten by their opponent."
I couldn't stop myself at the point where I needed to stop.
Today, Tosu is overall outperforming Tokyo, which is reflected in today's score.
We need to accept that and switch our focus to the upcoming match against Urawa in two days.

(The opponent has been playing wonderfully, but what we lacked was)
"Fatigue is the same for every team, so it's not an excuse."
The 11 players chosen by the coach must fight harder, and I believe they were selected because they can do it. Overall, we lacked the necessary spirit. We thought we were seriously aiming to win as a team, but we were outmatched by the opponent.

《Kashif BANGNAGANDE》
(Although it was his first appearance in J1, how did he feel about it?)
"This season, I have been included in the squad several times, but I haven't had many opportunities to play. In that situation, I approached today's match with the mindset of first contributing to the team's victory. On top of that, I wanted to fully express my own play."

(Reflecting on the match)
"The result is everything, so I think today's match was a complete defeat."

(Self-reflection)
"As the match progressed, there were times when I couldn't choose forward options even when I had the ball, and there were parts where my aggressiveness did not continue until the end.
There were many issues in the match, including a lack of coordination in the defensive line and conceding goals while unable to move forward.

(Regarding defensive coordination)
"In the scene of the second goal conceded, my pressure was poorly applied, and I should have defended while effectively cutting off the passing lanes. Without that, I believe we wouldn't have conceded that goal. My mistake led to the goal being conceded."

(Looking ahead)
"We have consecutive matches coming up, so we can't afford to look down."
As we continue with consecutive away matches, we want to switch gears and prepare for the match against Urawa in three days.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Coach Kenta HASEGAWA》
"I think today, Tosu was superior in every aspect.
In that sense, it was a complete defeat today.

(There were several scoring opportunities in terms of offense, but what were the factors that prevented us from converting them?)
I believe that the DF line of Tosu played with great intensity in the final moments, putting their bodies on the line and reducing the accuracy of our shots.
On the contrary, the three goals by Tosu were wonderful goals.
I think the opening goal and the third goal were shots that could not be taken no matter what.
Rather, in the process leading up to that point, a starting point was created, and I lost in a one-on-one situation, resulting in a shooting opportunity being created.

(What is your evaluation of today's defense?)
"Today, both Morishige and Ogawa were absent, but I think there will be more matches like this in the future.
I believe that it is not just about who, but the entire team must cover for each other.
In that sense, I think both Joan OUMARI and Yoshifumi did well today, and I believe Watanabe and Nakamura also fought hard, but as I mentioned earlier, I think Tosu outperformed us in every aspect.

(What are the expectations for Kashif BANGNAGANDE in the future?)
"In the scene of the second goal, there was a part where we got caught up with Kashif and left space open.
I think this experience is a great lesson. I hope they become an even greater player.

《Tosu - Myung Hwi KIM Coach Press Conference Summary》
I believe the players showed their determination and played well. To put it simply, there have been many human errors and careless mistakes in the past few matches, but today the players were focused and performed well.
The content of the games so far has not been bad, so I think we can focus and play well, which will lead us to the next step. However, this is not a point total or number of wins that we can be satisfied with, so the next match will be important, and since we will be facing a strong opponent again, I want to prepare well, recover, and give it our all.

(I think there was a way of moving the ball that prevented Tokyo from showing their vertical speed, and a good reaction after losing the ball)
"I believe that keeping Tokyo scoreless is a daunting task for any team. They have forwards with power and speed. If we let the line drop too much, it inevitably creates difficult situations, so everyone did well to prepare with courage to keep the line compact and to respond to the opponent's characteristics, such as feeds behind and movements that exploit space."

(Towards the next match)
"It's not just against Yokohama FM that we are losing, but losing to any opponent is frustrating, and I want to win. I feel sorry for the fans and supporters for not being able to secure victories."
