[Player/Coach Comments]

"Diego OLIVEIRA"
(It was a goal from an angleless position)
"I think it was a situation where we were trying to make a quick attack, but a pass from Hotaka NAKAMURA to Ogawa player came in, and I received a good ball from Ogawa player at the timing when I moved. I was able to score from an angleless position by skillfully avoiding Jesiel player, and I'm glad about that."

(That course was aimed for)
"There was no angle, but it was either a cross ball or a shot."
"I thought there was a chance if I aimed at that angle."

(There was a good flow in the second half)
"Today, we faced a high-quality opponent, so we were able to predict the first half's development to some extent, but we ended up playing at their pace. Despite struggling to defend, we were able to put pressure on them in the second half and connect it to a goal."
There was also a chance for a comeback, but unfortunately we were unable to score in the end."

(For the upcoming Levain Cup final)
"We have been on a losing streak in the league, but the next match is the final round of the cup."
"I think it will be a difficult match against Kashiwa, forgetting about the league for now, but I want to do my best towards winning the title."

"Ryoya OGAWA"
(The second half was played in a different position than the first half.)
"Personally, I was prepared to play there and I think the flow was better in the second half."

(Good parts in actuality)
"We were able to move the ball from the sides and increase our time in the second half. We were also able to score from that. In the first half, there were scenes where we immediately lost the ball after taking it, but I think we were able to connect well in the second half."

(After receiving today's results, the possibility of winning the league has disappeared)
"The league games haven't been producing many results lately, but we have no choice but to continue on without changing. However, for now, we want to switch gears and raise our motivation for the next big game."

(Today's game, although the result was disappointing, it was a game where you could see the feelings)
"Even while playing the game, we felt confident. I don't think it was a content that should be pessimistic. There were also parts where we had to play more tenaciously. Although the result was disappointing today, I want to continue this."

(For the upcoming Levain Cup final)
"We have been on a losing streak in the league, which is unfortunate, but now it's time for the final round of the Levain Cup."
"Everyone looks up without dragging and fights towards winning the title."

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"My impression is that we did well to hold them to just one goal in the first half. In the second half, we were able to score one goal back, and in the crucial moments of the game, it was Kawasaki who came out on top. However, I believe that our players were able to show their determination and fighting spirit, as many Tokyo fans and supporters returned to the stands at Todoroki."

(Compared to the past few games, both the members and the shape of the attack were good, but after today's game, the possibility of winning the league has disappeared)
"I think the players have worked hard in a very tight schedule. It's been a tough season, but we want to continue fighting firmly for next season."
"We still have the Levain Cup, ACL, and Emperor's Cup, so we want to work hard towards winning titles there."

(I think HATANO showed a good play, but how do you feel about it? Also, towards the Levain Cup final round)
"I used HATANO today because his performance this season has been improving towards the end of the season. As for the next Levain Cup final round, I would like to see how he trains for the next week and discuss with the GK coach before making a decision."

(Aim of the second half battle)
"Since we couldn't create an attacking shape from the middle of the first half, we talked to the players about our aim at halftime and made adjustments to create an attacking shape. We played against Kawasaki in the Levain Cup semifinals, so we were prepared in various ways. I believe the players understood the intention of the battle well and played with that in mind."

(How today's performance will lead to the future)
"I think today's game was not bad. It was unfortunate for the first goal, but it couldn't be helped. The second goal was also conceded at the last minute and the opponent's shot was good. The defense line fought well. Recently, there have been some goals that were conceded due to lack of concentration, so I think they threw their bodies until the end to prevent it."

"Kawasaki - Toru Oniki Press Conference Summary"
"The recent Nagoya game was the same, but the players' determination for today's Tokyo game was evident. I think they played that kind of game. However, although we made it difficult by not being able to score the second and third goals when we had the chance, they played with the determination to win no matter what until the end, so I want to continue that in the next game. The number of home games is decreasing, so I want to play a good game that will be remembered."

(The second goal was difficult to score and we conceded. I think it was difficult to make substitutions, but how did you see this period?)
"I thought it would take some time for the opponent to get used to the system change."
The players who were on the field were not necessarily bad, but I was watching with a bit of patience. It was unfortunate that we conceded a goal, but it also woke us up a bit. We realized that we needed to go for the goal.
In that sense, it can be said that we fought patiently. However, it would have been better if we had scored the second and third goals first."
