[Player and Coach Comments]

《Adailton》
"First of all, I am very disappointed that it has come to this result."
I wish I could have energized the team with my goal, but it ended in a disappointing result.

(I want to properly repay the debt in next week's Final Round)
"Today's result is very disappointing, but I hope it won't be like this in the Final Round."
We want to stay focused as a team and prepare for the next match so that we do not concede goals from our own mistakes.

《Yojiro TAKAHAGI》
(Reflecting on the assist that led to the goal)
"I kicked it with the image of putting the ball between the defense line and the goalkeeper, hoping someone would dive in."
It was great that Adailton scored with a solid finish.

(What is necessary to repay this debt in the Levain Final Round)
"After all, I felt that the opponent's attack was threatening and a strong point.
The moment we conceded a goal was due to our own mistake. When we give the opponent openings or chances, they will take advantage of them. I want to use today's defeat to improve for the Final Round.

(Is the conceding of goals causing a halt to the flow and momentum?)
"One reason is that we couldn't score during a good flow.
Despite fighting patiently and scoring one goal, we were unable to create the momentum to score another goal.
And then, we conceded the third goal to the opponent first.
Conceding goals from mistakes makes the flow of the game difficult, so I want to carry this reflection into the next match.

(How to elevate the team from here)
"There is no need to perceive it negatively, and we will use the areas for reflection for the next time.
Also, make sure to see the good points clearly.
Today we are able to score, and if we can be a bit more patient in defense, I believe we can take a goal from solid defense and bring the game to our own pace.
We want to improve the defensive part as a team.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"It's really a disappointing result. I think the players did their best. We will prepare for the next match in two days and want to fight together as a team."

(We will face the same opponent in the J.League YBC Levain Cup Final Round on November 7, but)
"Of course, we fought with the intention of winning today's match, so it's a disappointing result.
I can only repay this debt in the Final Round. I want to approach the Final Round in good form.

(Depending on the result of the Kawasaki match this weekend, the chance for the league championship may be lost)
"I want to keep fighting with my head held high until the last possibility is gone. We can only fight with all our might in the next Kawasaki match."

(There were no goals in the last two matches, but today we scored 1 goal)
"Scoring 1 goal is a small step."
20 shots in the match before last, 14 shots in the previous match, both resulting in 0 goals.
Today we scored one goal, but while creating many chances, if we had ended up with no goals again, it would have been a bad flow, so it was good that we scored one goal.
Additionally, the timing of the goals conceded was poor, and there were some goals that could have been prevented with a little more caution. Moving forward, we can only gradually work on refining both our offense and defense.

《Kashiwa - NELSINHO Coach Press Conference Summary》
It became a very tough and hard game, but I had anticipated this since before the match.
Tokyo plays an attacking style of football while maintaining a compact formation with speed. Against that opponent, we eliminated their strengths and managed the game with the intelligence of the entire team.
While eliminating the spaces targeted by the opponent, we were able to efficiently launch an attack by intercepting the ball and exploiting the spaces ourselves.

(The impact of this victory on the Levain Cup Final Round of the same match is)
"This is a league match, and the goal of the league matches is to earn 3 points in every game, with the ultimate aim of finishing in the top 3."
There are still many matches to go, so I want to continue fighting firmly, using today's victory as a springboard. Being able to earn 3 points against a high-quality team like Tokyo will be a boost. Today's game was a victory because the entire team executed the objectives we aimed for.
