[Player/Coach Comments]

"Ryoya OGAWA"
"Today, the pitch conditions were not suitable for playing our usual soccer."
We were talking about how to fight as a team in that situation.
The content itself wasn't that bad, and we were able to fight for the ball well, so it's just a feeling that the results didn't come with us.

(Although it was a match in the middle of two days, there was fatigue)
"Since today's match was only two days after the Kawasaki match, I think each player was a little tired."
Today was a stressful situation with this pitch condition, but even so, it would have been mentally good if we could have won the game today, but we lost. We have no choice but to switch gears for the next one."

(The result did not come out, but the consecutive battles will continue.)
"Another game will come in 3 days."
"We want to reflect on our mistakes and prepare together as a team for the next game."

"Kiichi YAJIMA"
"It was a home game, so I entered the pitch with the desire to win instead of settling for a draw."
"However, it was very frustrating that we couldn't score a single point."

(There were also some close shooting scenes)
"I think it was a situation where it was easy for crosses to come in after I entered the game."
I was expecting something to happen, including the pitch condition.
In the scene where I took a shot, Adailton was able to collapse in front of me and the ball fell to my feet.
"I think I need to become a player who can finish that and I think my daily training has paid off in terms of being able to take shots, but I also think I need to level up even more."

(The feeling of today's game)
"I was asked to be the starting point and played in today's game."
We at least wanted to tie in that.
"Even if the play is good, FW is strongly required to score goals, so I think it would have been good if that one shot had gone in, but I still feel that more effort is needed."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"I think the players fought well and the content was not bad. I think it was just bad luck."

(Coach Miyamoto seemed to have told the players before the game to "play with a clear mind," but what instructions did Coach Hasegawa give?)
"I also thought that this situation would arise."
It's not just about using Adailton and Hotaka NAKAMURA as starters, but also about having a team that can fight on this kind of pitch and telling the players to connect their passes. We didn't give the opponent any chances except for the penalty kick, and G Osaka also did well."

(In conditions like today, it was inevitable that the game would not go according to the team's tactics and principles)
"Both teams were dealing with this kind of pitch condition, so it's hard to say, but I don't think there were any dangerous scenes. The only real chance was when Usami touched the ball near the goal from Ademilson's pass and Lin made a save. On the other hand, I think we had some chances to threaten the opponent's goal, so if we had a bit more luck, we could have scored. In many ways, I think we were just unlucky today."

"G Osaka - Tsuneyasu MIYAMOTO Press Conference Summary"
(Today, the pitch conditions were quite tough, but I instructed the players on what to do and entered the game)
"In terms of putting the ball into the opponent's penalty area, rather than playing our usual style of soccer, we focused on putting the ball behind their defense line and into the box, where the ball would stop. I conveyed this to the players and emphasized the importance of it for today's game."

(It was difficult to play while looking ahead, so I emphasized playing with a clear mindset.)
"That's right, I told them to have a clear mindset during the pre-game meeting."
The players did it well on the pitch.

(The victory in the Tokyo match at Ajinomoto Stadium is the first since 2001 when coach Miyamoto was still active in the league.)
"When I was asked the question, I realized for the first time that we hadn't been winning that much. Looking back, I think that during my last period playing for G Osaka, we weren't able to win.
However, players change and there are various changes in personnel. But today, we were able to win thanks to the efforts of everyone, and I feel that it was a good thing for the club."
