《Kyosuke TAGAWA Player》
"I was glad to score a goal, but I think we need to create more opportunities."
This is also a challenge, so I want to be more conscious and work on creating more opportunities.
I believe it is important to increase the number of times we get involved with the ball.

(The collaboration with the surrounding players was good, but do you feel the results?)
"It has been going well in practice and practice matches, and that was as planned. I think it's something I want to continue to work on."

(Determination to be in the starting lineup for the league matches)
"I want to practice hard so that I can keep up with the players who are participating in the league matches."

(Reflecting on today's goal scene)
"Nagai sent the cross, and although it didn't reach Kono, I predicted that the opponent would make a clearance mistake.
It was good to calmly score the goal there.

(It was a direct shot, but was there any hesitation?)
"There was no hesitation, but looking back, I think I had enough time to trap it. In any case, I'm glad I was able to score a goal."

(This was the goal in the first match of the Levain Cup)
"I believe that if we continue to focus on getting results, the situation will change more and more. It's not just because of this match; I want to keep scoring consistently."

《Sodai HASUKAWA Player》
I have always wanted to play matches at this Ajinomoto, so it was really enjoyable during the match when that wish came true.
I believe that being able to finish the debut match with a victory is a good start for the player's career from here on.

(The feeling from my debut match at Ajinomoto)
I think I was able to show my strengths, such as my physicality in duels and my covering ability.
However, we were unable to provide the ball that could serve as the starting point for the attack in the front line, so I want to firmly seize the chances and try in the attacking part as well.

(Having played at Ajinomoto, what is the next goal?)
"I want to be firmly involved with the league members.
However, I want to absorb various things from the good players around me and continue to grow.

(Specific challenges on the offensive side)
"I couldn't create scenes today where I could switch sides to players like Yoshifumi on the opposite side while building up on my side.
Also, since Nagai was at the forefront today, I regret that we could have utilized that better.
I want to become a player who can be a starting point for the team like Morishige, so I want to delve deeper into it.

(Regarding the collaboration with LORI)
"I was always in communication with LORI.
I think that the detailed checks we made during halftime and throughout the match directly led to the result of not conceding any goals.

《Kashif BANGNAGANDE》
"As an individual, I received the opportunity to play at Ajinomoto for the first time."
I think it was good that we were able to end with a result of victory.

(How did it feel the moment you stood on the pitch at Ajinomoto?)
"I was happy and it felt strange to be standing on the pitch at Ajinomoto that I had been watching until now."
I was able to enter the match with the usual feeling, without feeling particularly nervous.

(What were you thinking about while playing in the match)
"Tokushima was also holding the ball quite a bit and aiming for the back."
I expected it, so even when we had the ball, I think we were able to play calmly as a team without getting flustered.
I thought that if we could score the first goal, we could control the game at our pace, and that is exactly how it turned out.
By scoring a goal, Tagawa was able to carry out the game as planned.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
"The players who participated today did a great job."
Although we could only score one point, I think we were able to play very balanced football from the first half.
If I had to say, I think we could have created more chances if we had connected the stolen ball a little more carefully.
I think we were able to score at a good time in the second half and manage the game without panicking until the end.
I think we were able to start the season in a good way.

(Although it was a young defensive line, I think they fought well against Tokushima, who maintained possession of the ball, but the evaluation is)
"I didn't have the feeling that we were being dominated in possession; I think it was a style that aimed for possession, but we were hardly shot at. There was one dangerous moment in the second half, but there were no dangerous moments in the first half, so I think we were able to respond well.
The shots were not taken in a good form, and they hardly entered the box.
I thought we just had to take our time, but I believe we went to the right places and fought with discipline until the end.

(Tagawa's Evaluation)
"I believe that if we can connect well after winning the ball, the time spent involved with the ball will increase significantly."
The scoring scene was truly wonderful. It was a clear mistake by the opponent, but they scored the goal firmly and did a great job.
I believe that if we can increase the time spent involved and the time spent playing, it will get even better.

(There were many young players, but what kind of words did you say to the players?)
"Even though they are young, they have participated a lot in J3 and the Levain Cup, so I believe they are members who can play in the league matches without any problem. Today, I haven't said anything special, just that we should play boldly."

(The significance of winning the Levain Cup opening match)
"The preliminary round consists of 6 matches. I believe we have gained a significant advantage.
Next is Kobe. Since Kobe has also won against Oita, I think the next game will be another crucial match, but I want to make sure to prepare well again.

(It seemed that not only the condition but also the combination was good, and if there are factors for that)
"Since we had been organizing matches with this squad since camp, I think we were able to enter smoothly. I hope today's members will continue to get involved in the league matches. I believe the players who performed well today played with a strong desire to succeed."

《Tokushima - Head Coach Ikki Kohmoto》
"I took on the challenge of seeing how much we could do against a strong opponent. We were able to hold the ball for a long time, but we couldn't break through effectively today. Additionally, we weren't able to launch attacks that would damage the opponent during the buildup."
Defensively, we were not significantly broken down, but on the other hand, we could not apply pressure intentionally to win the ball back.

(Changes have been made to the members from the league match. Regarding the aim)
"Tokushima has many young players.
"I wanted to challenge by using many promising players who seem likely to grow in the future."

(You had the ball, but how do you perceive the progress of organization in the attack that followed?)
"I had the ball, but there were many parts where I was forced to hold it, and honestly, I couldn't take effective positions in the buildup, and I couldn't place the ball in effective areas."
I feel that the parts where I couldn't effectively draw out my opponent intentionally need to be corrected.
Regarding the breakdown of the attack, we were unable to place the ball in effective areas, so we couldn't connect to the next phase of the breakdown.
Even if we managed to bring the ball forward in a desperate attempt, when we looked ahead, the organization of the attack was not well executed, so we couldn't quite reach the start of the breakdown.
