"Hirotaka MITA"
(Substituted in and showed good cooperation with Takumi NAKAMURA, but couldn't score. What was missing?)
"It's hard to say what was missing, but luck was also a factor. In a game where we attacked so much and couldn't convert our chances, it's common in football to concede a goal with just one shot from the opponent."
"We had to score first when we attacked."

(Today, for the first time since the restart, fans and supporters came to the away game. How did you feel?)
"Even though it was an away game, having fans and supporters come was a great source of strength for us. We wanted to share the joy of scoring a goal with the Tokyo fans and supporters, so it's very disappointing."

(Things I was mindful of during the game)
"In the first half, while watching from the bench, I felt like the opponent had more possession of the ball and was playing."
"There were some parts that weren't going well, so I decided to play boldly first. I played with the intention of regaining momentum and actively receiving the ball to approach the goal."

(Despite taking 20 shots, we couldn't score)
"I think it was a difficult situation where even Diego OLIVEIRA's shots couldn't go in. It may have been just by chance, but there was also an element of luck involved when the ball hit the opponent's body. However, I think we were able to create good attacks and I want to score next time."

(The 19-game streak ended in today's match. I think the team is on the rise.)
"In the tight schedule, the whole team was able to come this far by working hard together. We wanted to win today and prepare for the match one week later with a good mood, but we want to use this bitter feeling from today's match in the next one."

"Hotaka NAKAMURA"
"I think we were able to make good preparations and play with our hearts in the last game of the 19-game series, both individually and as a team."
However, even though we took 20 shots, the goal was far away and we ended up losing due to conceding a goal at the end. This reminded me once again that this is what soccer is all about.
I was watching the moment we conceded from the bench and it was very frustrating.

(From the previous Shimizu match, we had a game in 3 days. What kind of preparations did we make?)
"In the previous Shimizu match, we were unable to switch on the defensive side as a team and lacked intensity. We reflected on being used well there, and today we once again approached it with a focus on our strength, which is the defensive side."

(Regarding one's own performance in the match)
"There were players with technical skills on the opponent's side, and there were areas where I felt I could do well in terms of ball control and one-on-one situations, but ultimately we lost, so I cannot evaluate it."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It's all about not being able to score."
I think we were done in by Yokohama FC's hard work in the end, but I believe the players fought well, aiming for the goal and victory.

(Despite some questionable calls, we were ultimately defeated in a good flow of the game)
"I think we had several chances to score, so I believe it all comes down to not being able to finish in those moments."

(The first game after the restart was an away game with fans and supporters coming)
"I am extremely grateful to the fans and supporters."
It was reassuring, and in the second half, the players attacked towards the goal where the fans and supporters were stationed. I think the players did a good job of aiming for the fans and supporters and aiming for victory.

"Yokohama FC Takahiro SHIMOTAIRA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a tough game with a lot of pressure, especially during set pieces where we faced several close calls. However, we were able to hold on and secure a dramatic goal in the end, which gave our team a boost of momentum and led to a victorious outcome."

(The time spent being pushed in was long, but this was somewhat expected)
"Honestly, it was close to unexpected."
I thought I had more time to push the ball in, but instead I was pushed back by the opponent's power and couldn't make much progress, or I was pushed back by their simple attacks. I thought I could do a little more, but it was unexpected.

(Despite being pushed in, there were also parts where we were able to use the lessons learned from the 2-0 comeback loss against Kashima)
"In terms of mentality, in the Kashima game we tried to hold on defensively and ended up conceding a goal, which caused our spirits to drop a bit. But today, we were able to defend firmly even when pushed in, taking into account those lessons. In terms of mindset, I felt that the players have grown a lot."
