[Player/Coach Comments]
"Kensuke NAGAI Player"
(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"I couldn't hit the ball well on the first try, but I was able to kick the ball firmly into the near upper corner on the second try, which was good."
(Scored second goal of the season in an important match)
"I think it was good to be able to score in such an important match, as we had lost as a team in the previous round."
(Things I was conscious of during the play)
"There were moments where I was able to bring the ball forward simply by dribbling, but my final accuracy was low."
We were able to take the first goal, but we want to make sure we can firmly take the second and third goals as a team."
(It was a game that could erase the defeat of Tosu, but will it become a confidence booster?)
"If we neglect the basics of ball possession, it will lead to conceding goals."
"We felt that we need to continue as a team just like today's game."
"Hirotaka MITA Player"
(Won for the first time in 17 years at Away Saitama Stadium. Looking back on today's game)
"I finally feel like we won. I didn't have much of an image of winning in the past, so I'm just happy."
(What do you feel now that it has been 200 games in J1)
"There have been seasons where I felt fulfilled, and seasons where I did not."
After going through various experiences, I think I was able to play in 200 games, so I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me, my family, and my wife.
"I want to continue to have fulfilling matches and aim for 300 matches in the future."
(Today's game was an important one where we couldn't afford to lose again.)
"Last game, we played a disappointing match."
Everyone was fired up today and I think everyone was able to do things like not giving the opponent freedom and quickly switching gears.
(The next match will be an away game against Shonan)
"Today, not losing in a row was a huge accomplishment."
"We want to continue our winning streak and catch up with the top teams, which also means creating a good flow."
"Masato MORISHIGE"
(After considering the disappointing result of the previous match, what kind of mindset did you enter the game with?)
"First of all, as you can see from today's match, Urawa also came into the game with a strong mentality in the physical aspect."
Last week, there were moments where the ball fell to the opponent in those situations, but today we entered the game with a focus on details rather than tactics or techniques.
(I think we fought through every moment of the game today)
"When everyone is doing well, the team is winning."
It's inevitable that there will be ups and downs throughout the season. I think today's result was due to everyone going back to the basics and entering the game again.
(It was the first victory in 17 years for Tokyo away at Urawa)
"I was able to win away at Urawa for the first time myself."
My teammates were reliable, and the players who were given a chance played confidently, including the young players.
I think that these new players have carved a new page in Tokyo.
(After the Tosu match, what Morishige feels in today's game)
"Now, in the midst of consecutive matches, young players like Takumi NAKAMURA, Genki HARA, and Hotaka NAKAMURA may play, and their strengths can become weapons for the team."
However, for example, in the scene where Takumi NAKAMURA's header cleared the ball today. Although there are still many areas to improve, we may have won today's game by chance.
By learning and experiencing various things in a situation where there is little we can do, I believe the team will become stronger.
"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a tough game, but everyone fought with all their heart from the first half. I think they were all focused until the end, trying to change the history of not being able to win for a long time."
(The time holding the ball was long, but showed a solid defense)
"In the previous match, we conceded 3 goals away against Tosu. Today, Morishige came back and tightened our defense. Also, everyone worked hard until the end to make up for what we couldn't do in the previous match."
(After winning at home, we also won against Urawa)
"We can welcome October with a victory in the last match of the 9-game series in September. It was good that we were able to break the bad flow from the previous match. Urawa also fought hard, but I think it was good that we were able to win against them."
(At Saitama Stadium, the first victory in 17 years. A message to the fans and supporters)
"In last season's away game against Urawa, we were tied in additional time and ended up with a draw. I think we should have broken the bad flow of last season and kept the substitution frame, it was a frustrating draw. This season, we used three substitutions and time, and everyone understood the frustration of last season and continued to put pressure without falling back. Last season, the frustrating feeling of being done at the end led to this victory. The fans and supporters' voices were heard that Tokyo couldn't beat Urawa. It was good to win and I think it was a happy victory for the club."
"Urawa - Tsuyoshi OTSUKI Press Conference Summary"
"I wanted to express our preparation to surpass Tokyo. One of the reasons was that we couldn't score in the first half and also conceded a goal in that way. I wanted to express a little more about bouncing back from that."
(Compared to the recent matches, we were able to play more aggressively)
"I think the difference between having 2 days and 3 days off was significant. Also, the addition of fresh players, I think that was a big factor."
(There were also parts where we could have surpassed them in terms of content)
"We had been talking about how various things could be influenced by things like how the ball was taken in the battle for the ball and the referee's whistle before the match. It was about surpassing all of those things."
In addition, I had to try to put the ball in the frame in front of the goal with power. In the first half, I had the ball and even entered the box, but I couldn't fully express that part, which I think affected me until the second half.
Regarding the content, it is unfortunate that the players were not able to connect to the results while doing their best. However, as I have mentioned before, we will acknowledge our mistakes and not overlook our strengths, and aim to move forward to the next step.
