[Player and Coach Comments]

《Shuto ABE》
"After the first goal conceded, there was still a feeling that we could go on, but we quickly conceded a second goal, and I think that affected our morale from there."
We were unable to recover after conceding a goal, and as a result, we continued to concede goals in that flow.

(I think we were able to create many chances)
"I believe we were able to play Tokyo's football from the start of the match until the end of the first half.
The fact that we couldn't score was the reason for today's defeat.
"In soccer, you can't win if you don't score, so no matter how good the performance is, this match made me realize once again that you can't win without scoring."

(Regarding the conceded goal)
"It was a goal conceded due to a momentary lapse in concentration."
Risk management becomes important when attacking

(Today, many fans and supporters came to the stadium)
"Four goals conceded among the many fans and supporters who rushed to the game.
Since we had a disappointing match, I want to make the next game one where we can win and celebrate together.

《Kensuke NAGAI》
(Looking back at the match)
"We were unable to capitalize on our chances, which led to this result."
I feel a sense of responsibility as a forward, and since I had my own chances, I want to make sure I can score in the upcoming matches.

(This is the first consecutive loss of the season)
I think it's important to switch gears and keep going.
We want to fight together as a team.

(Did you feel that the match was going according to plan up to a certain point?)
"There were many opportunities to score from the first half until conceding a goal in the second half.
The forward players were unable to convert that opportunity, resulting in a situation where the team couldn't gain momentum.
After missing a big chance, the situation unfolded like that, and the team conceded a goal, so I feel responsible as an individual.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"We lost as we were meant to lose. We didn't score when we needed to, and then we got frustrated and acted in a way unbecoming of a player. I don't think there were any elements that could lead us to victory."

(The first consecutive losses of the season. Although good chances were created, they could not be converted into goals, resulting in consecutive losses)
"We can only keep going. It's a problem for everyone, not just one player in the front line."
We have no choice but to keep adding stimulation and continue.

(Was the game played according to the game plan until we conceded a goal?)
"When we can't finish our chances, it often ends up like this. It has truly resulted in this way. I can't help but feel disappointed.
Yokohama FM has individual strength even at halftime, so a backlash will come.
He talked about taking advantage of a momentary lapse, and although he tightened up in the second half, he couldn't convert the first big chance.
I made it to the shot, but was caught on the counter afterwards.
After conceding one goal, the team really dropped in performance. Team strength is needed to prevent the second goal.
Players who can speak up in tough times are still not emerging. If Higashi returns, he may become a presence that inspires the team again.
However, at the moment, when we concede a goal first, I feel that there is no one to energize or inspire the team. Even in such match situations, a certain cunning to seize on any moment of weakness is necessary. We still lack strength in every aspect.

《Yokohama FM - Summary of Coach Ange POSTECOGLOU's Press Conference》
It was a difficult match. Games against Tokyo are always challenging.
In the first half, while both sides struggled to control the game, we continued to work hard, created chances, and were able to capitalize on those chances.

(In the last few matches, the position has changed every game, but what was the intention behind it?)
"In terms of growth, it is difficult because we have matches every two to three days."
However, I feel that the players continue to work incredibly hard, maintain a strong mentality, and show a never-give-up attitude.

(The ability to capitalize on chances in a situation where the outcome is uncertain has emerged. How do you feel about that ability?)
"By maintaining possession of the ball while playing our style of football, the opponent also becomes fatigued. The last match against Nagoya was difficult as we made 8 substitutions, and today we made 7 substitutions."
Today, we focused on strengthening our defense and making it difficult for the opponent to score. From now on, we want to continue believing in our style of football.
