"Masato MORISHIGE"
(Although we were able to catch up and earn 1 point, the feeling of the opening game was)
"Looking back at the whole game, we feel like we weren't able to do what we wanted to do."

(What specific points were the challenges?)
"Being more aggressive in going for the ball."
I couldn't put it out from the beginning of the first half.
In the second half, the opponent took the lead, but after the substitute came in, the team pulled together and we want to be able to do that from the beginning of the first half.

(Equalized at their own goal)
"I always thought that everyone would become more rigid in the opening game."
That's why I thought set plays would be key in both offense and defense, and as expected, we conceded a goal from there and were able to equalize with a set play.
"It was a difficult situation, but I think we were able to at least earn 1 point."

(How to improve as the consecutive games continue)
"I want to take the lead more aggressively from the first half and fight."
Next, we have the Tokushima match in 3 days for the Levain Cup, so I want to prepare well again."

(Have you felt anything on the defensive side?)
"We need to come up with a better way to defend."
There was hesitation throughout the team as they went to take the ball.
It is important to call out from behind, but I want to make more fine adjustments during the game with a better understanding.

"Hirotaka MITA Player"
(After coming on as a substitute and looking back on the entire match)
"Urawa Reds have been playing aggressive and good football under their new manager."
We fought with the consciousness of defending firmly as an organization without being impatient with such an opponent.
However, the first goal was unfortunately taken by the opponent from a set piece.
We were able to catch up to a tie and earn 1 point away, but we are not satisfied.
I think it was a game where we were able to bring back the minimum result.

(I think there was an intention to further increase the momentum with the players who came on as substitutes)
"With the possibility of 5 substitutions, fresh players can once again rev up the team's engine."
I think that players Tagawa and Nagai were the center of the team, aggressively fighting from the front line and giving good stimulation to those around them.

(Looking back on the scene where I assisted a valuable equalizer)
"I aimed for a difficult spot for the GK to come out on the far side, and the players in the middle were supposed to match up on the near side."
"I was able to assist with the same ball during the camp, and I had a good feeling, so I kicked it with confidence and it resulted in an equalizing assist."

"Takuya Aoki Player"
"We were scored on first, but I think it was valuable to earn 1 point away from home by catching up in the end."

(After entering the pitch after conceding, what was your mindset during the game?)
"I entered the game with the mindset of moving forward. I wanted to play aggressively on both offense and defense and change the flow of the game."

(Could I show my play against my former team?)
"Personally, I couldn't show anything, so in the next game, I want to be able to demonstrate my strengths firmly."

(What is Tokyo's football goal?)
"We want to cherish the momentum after taking the ball and bring out more of Tokyo's uniqueness."

(What is the team's challenge, even though the coach said to be aggressive?)
"I was thinking that if we could put more pressure on the defense from the front line, and also be more careful in our attacks after winning the ball, we could do better."
I think the positive aspect is that we were able to run until the end for 90 minutes, and I want to do that firmly in the next game as well.

(I want to show this part of Tokyo)
"The coach also said that it will be the home opening game, so I want to show an aggressive play, moving forward and forward."
I think if I were to play, it would be in the midfield, so I hope to play while considering the overall balance.
"Next is our home opener, so we must win and share the joy with our fans and supporters."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"I want to take the positive view of bringing back one point in a difficult situation."
Although the content was not praiseworthy, we have the Levain Cup in 3 days and the league match in a week, so we want to prepare our condition well and fight hard in the next game.

(Last season, I felt the driving force when Morishige was used as an anchor, but today he played as a defender. The defense was stable, but it seemed that the driving force had dropped.)
"Not just Morishige's use, but also the delay in the arrival of foreign players, we are still not in top form. In that situation, I think other players played well."
Not limited to Morishige's usage method, but it was very impressive in the anchor position, so I think we will continue to watch the situation."

(Unsatisfactory parts)
"There was no driving force forward, and we couldn't play Tokyo-style soccer. The condition of foreign players was not at its best, so we couldn't create opportunities in the front line."
The opponent's press back was also very impressive, and they didn't give up until the end, so it was not easy to play and create opportunities.
I think creating a starting point is the key to driving force in soccer, and today we couldn't find a place to settle the ball.
When the ball settles in the middle, the team can create time, but since it was an away game in the opening match, the players couldn't play calmly as usual, so I think it was inevitable in terms of content.

(About today's game)
"Kosuke, who came on as a substitute, got a foul by putting his body on the line, and from that free kick, Mita kicked a wonderful ball and Morishige scored a goal."
I think Nagai also had a difficult appearance from a difficult situation, but he played fiercely and the Tokyo players were able to move forward again. The players who came on in the middle showed their feelings and I think it was a game where we picked up one point as a team today.

"Urawa - Ricardo RODRIGUEZ Press Conference Summary"
"I think I was able to dominate the game by holding onto the ball for a long time."
I think the content was really good, but I wish we could have created more decisive attacking opportunities or caused more damage to the opponent. However, even within that, we had a chance to score a second goal, so it's a shame we couldn't convert it.
Unfortunately, we were not able to take 3 points from the team that won the Levain Cup last season and also competed in the ACL, because they were from Tokyo.
I think the players showed a performance worthy of 3 points, so it's disappointing that we couldn't get 3 points due to the last goal. There is also frustration considering that there were many draws in other venues. However, I am satisfied with the players' performance."

(I think it would be great if we could increase the number of shots by passing more, but for that to happen)
"I think it's about accumulating patterns of breaking through while pushing in and training. However, we have been able to progress through very good stages so far, so it is important to continue this and accumulate what we can do."
