[Player/Coach Comments]

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
(It was the milestone 300th game of the J1 league)
"First of all, I'm relieved that we won."
"I am happy to be able to win milestone matches at home."

(I think there have been many things since becoming a professional)
"I think this season is particularly difficult."
For both J-League and Tokyo, as well as for all of Japan, the current situation is very difficult.
With everyone's cooperation, we are able to play matches like this. I am grateful to be able to play soccer.
In addition, I believe that this accumulation will reach 300 games in the J1 League.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us so far.

(Smiles were also seen during the pre-game ceremony)
"I'm the type to relax and enter the game."
Although I don't usually smile that much, being able to see my wife and two daughters before the game made me feel at ease, and it was a moment where I wanted to win today's game even more.

(Team's future enthusiasm)
"We are in a position to aim for victory in all tournaments."
"We want to fight for every game and aim for all titles."

"Kensuke NAGAI"
(Looking back at the second scene)
"Ogawa made a good pass at the right time."
Then, when I looked forward, I saw the shooting course and swung.
It was a goal that I thought went in the moment I hit it.

(The coach said that the first half was not very good)
"There were a lot of small mistakes in the first half."
There were also times when we didn't lose well and our transitions were slow, resulting in us being caught on the counter.
In the second half, I think we were able to connect the second and third goals by firmly correcting that part as a team.

(About personal condition)
"I was in a fresh state today, so I wanted to respond with results."
I think it's good that we were able to achieve good results.

(How do you perceive the difference in points with Kawasaki?)
"I think it's important to take each game one at a time."
I want to focus on winning the game in front of me because even if I look up, we have more games played than other teams.
"We are more focused on winning than on Kawasaki."

"Hirotaka MITA"
(About the shooting scene that led to the opening goal)
"I just focused on hitting the ball inside the frame and took the shot. I wish I could have scored with a more beautiful shot, but it was good that Tagawa player made a solid blind pass and led to a goal."

(It seems that your child was born)
"Yesterday, they were safely born. (I told my wife that) I would win today's game, score a goal, and then do a cradle dance. Although it didn't end up being my goal, I think I did well."

(We are pleased to have won today's match without losing.)
"After the next match against Yokohama FC, there will be a one-week break, so we want to win the last match of the consecutive games and then finish the following consecutive games in a good mental state."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"First of all, it was good to win at home. However, in terms of content, especially in the first half, we couldn't quite get into the rhythm and it was a bad 45 minutes. The only good part was being able to take the lead in a good way."
In the second half, we were able to recover a bit, but our performance today cannot be praised throughout the 90 minutes. The only positive thing we can say is that we were able to earn 3 points despite our poor performance."

(At first, it seemed like we weren't getting along well with the opponent)
"Shimizu was able to position themselves well, so it was difficult to make things clear. However, I think we were able to fix that in the second half."

(Leandro has been suspended for 3 games)
"It's not so much rough play, but rather an act that goes against the rules that we as a team should reflect on. We apologize for any unpleasant plays that may have been seen by viewers."
Fortunately, G Osaka's player Yuki YAMAMOTO did not suffer any major injuries, but I would like to apologize to both the player and G Osaka.
Leandro also received a warning once and was cautioned by the disciplinary committee, and we were also careful about such plays, but we had to prevent recurrence. It is my responsibility to repeat the same thing. An act that the club should reflect on. In the future, I want to play according to the spirit of fair play. I told the players that intense play and dirty play are different."

"Shimizu - Peter CKLAMOVSKI Press Conference Summary"
"It was a disappointing result."
We were able to get off to a good start and there were some good moments when our flow was coming. However, in the first half, we conceded a goal from a set piece. Up until then, the opponent had not been able to enter our penalty area and we were in control, but unfortunately the game did not go as planned.
In the first half, it would have been better if we could have been more of a threat to the opponent, but our last pass wasn't very good.
I think we were able to create good chances, and we were also able to get into the opponent's penalty area and get to the point of making the final pass.
I want to improve there. We need to have better defensive responses for the second goal, and we need to be able to score when the opponent creates good chances. After that, we were able to continue our soccer and bring it to 1-2, and the momentum was coming, and we were close to getting our second goal. During that time, there was a moment where our passes were off. We were able to create chances, but towards the end of the game, the opponent scored their third goal and pulled away from us.
