"Kyosuke TAGAWA"
"It was good to score a goal, but I think we need to create more chances."
This is also a challenge, so I want to be more conscious and work harder to create more opportunities.
"I think it is important to increase the number of times involved with the ball."

(The cooperation with the surrounding players was good, but is there a sense of accomplishment?)
"It went well in practice and practice matches, and that was as planned. I think it's an area I want to continue with."

(Eagerness to enter the starting lineup in the league)
"I want to keep up with the players who are playing in the league and continue to work hard from practice."

(Looking back on today's goal scene)
"Nagai player lifted a cross ball, which did not reach Konno player, but I predicted that the opponent would make a clear mistake."
"It was good to be able to calmly score a goal there."

(It was a direct shot, but there was no hesitation)
"There was no hesitation, but looking back, I think I could have controlled it. Either way, it was good to score a goal."

(The goal in the first match of Levain)
"I believe that if we continue to focus on results, the situation will change more and more. It's not just about this game, but I want to continue scoring goals."

"Sodai HASUKAWA Player"
"I always had the desire to play a game at Ajinomoto, so it was really fun during the actual match."
"I think it was a good start for the player's career to be able to end their debut match with a victory."

(Ajinomoto debut match feeling)
"I think I was able to show my strengths in winning the ball and covering, which are also my characteristics."
However, I was unable to provide a ball that could be the starting point of the attack, so I want to firmly grasp the chance and try in the attacking part as well."

(Playing at Ajinomoto Stadium, what is your next goal?)
"I want to be actively involved in the league matches."
"I just want to absorb various things from good players around me and grow."

(Specific challenges on the offensive side)
"Today, we were unable to create scenes where players like Yoshifumi Kashiwagi from the opposite side would change sides while we were building up on our own side."
In addition, I regret not being able to make good use of the front line today, as player Nagai was there.
"I want to become a player who can be the starting point of the team, like Morishige, so I want to push myself even further."

(About collaboration with Lori player)
"I always communicated with Lori player."
"We were checking each other closely during halftime and throughout the game, and I think that directly led to the result of keeping a clean sheet."

"Kashif BANGNAGANDE"
"As an individual, I was given the opportunity to play at Ajinomoto for the first time."
I think it was good to end with a result of victory.

(What did you feel when you stood on the pitch at Ajinomoto?)
"It was a strange feeling to stand on the pitch at Ajinomoto, a place I had been watching for so long. It was a happy feeling."
"I was able to enter the game with the usual feeling without any particular tension."

(What I was thinking and playing during the match)
"Tokushima was also trying to control the ball and attack from behind."
I think we were able to play calmly as a team without getting impatient even when we were holding the ball, as we had expected.
I thought we could control the game at Tokyo's pace if we could score the first goal, and that's exactly what happened.
"With Tagawa's goal, we were able to carry out the game as planned."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"The players who played today did well."
I think we were able to score only one point, but we were able to play a very well-balanced soccer game from the first half.
If I had to say, I think we could have had more chances if we were able to connect the stolen ball a little more carefully.
I think we were able to score a goal in a good time in the second half and we were able to proceed with 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 DF lineup, I think we fought well against Tokushima who had possession of the ball, but the evaluation is)
"I don't have the feeling of being possessed by the ball, I think it's a style that aims for possession, but there were hardly any shots. There was one dangerous scene in the second half, but I think we were able to respond firmly because there were no dangerous scenes in the first half."
The shot was not taken in a good shape and hardly entered the box.
"I thought there was no choice but to do it without haste, but I believe we went to the right place and fought with discipline until the end."

(Player Tagawa's Evaluation)
"If we can connect firmly after taking the ball, I think we will have more time to be involved with the ball."
The scoring scene was truly amazing. Although it was the opponent's clear miss, they scored a goal firmly and did a great job for us.
"I believe that if we can increase the time we spend involved and playing, we will become even better."

(Even though there were many young players, what kind of words did you give to the players?)
"Even though they are young, they have played a lot in J3 and Levain Cup, so I think they are players who can play in the league. Today, I didn't say anything special, I just told them to play with confidence."

(Meaning of winning the opening game of the Levain Cup)
"There were 6 qualifying matches. I think we gained a big advantage."
Next is Kobe. Since Kobe has also won against Oita, I think the next game will also be an important one for points, so I want to prepare well again.

(Not only the condition, but also the combination seemed to be good, but if there is a reason for that)
"I think we were able to smoothly enter the game because we had been playing together since the camp with this team. I hope the players who played well today will continue to be involved in the league matches. I think the players who played well today did so with a strong determination to do their best."

"Tokushima - Coach Kozo Konomoto"
"I challenged myself to see how well I could do against a strong opponent. While I was able to control the ball for most of the time, I was not able to make effective breakthroughs today. Also, I was unable to create attacking opportunities that would damage the opponent during build-up."
There was no major breakdown on the defensive side, but on the other hand, we were unable to intentionally put pressure and take the ball away.

(Added member changes from league matches. About the purpose of that)
"There are many young players in Tokushima."
"We wanted to take on the challenge of using many promising players who are likely to grow in the future."

(I had the ball, but how do you view the progress of the organization in regards to the attack that followed?)
"I had the ball, but there were many parts where I was forced to hold onto it, and in addition to not being able to take effective positions in the build-up, I honestly feel that I was unable to put the ball in effective places."
I feel that there are parts that need to be fixed because I couldn't intentionally draw out the opponent well.
Regarding breaking through the attack, we were unable to put the ball in effective places, so we were unable to connect to the subsequent breakdown.
"Even if we were able to bring it up to the front in desperation, when we looked ahead, the ball was in a state where the attack was not well organized, so we couldn't quite get to the start of breaking through."
