"Masato MORISHIGE"
"During the game, East player took the lead and gave us encouragement, even after we conceded a goal, the team stayed together and fought patiently."
I think experienced players have given the team stability.

(2 consecutive goals. Looking back on today's final round goal)
"Leandro made a good pass. I was thinking of kicking it towards the GK."
I thought it would be a chance if I ran there, and it was a goal that matched my image and Leandro's ball.
"Winning with that goal was a huge accomplishment."

(In the second half, it was in the middle of the field, but what were you conscious of based on the first half?)
"How to catch Kiyotake in the crowded midfield, and how to capture Okubo's fluid movements."
"In the first half, I couldn't catch it well, so in the second half, I organized it and played with the consciousness of settling the ball in the midfield."

(Evaluation of today's performance)
"Although there were some good moments in the second half, it cannot be compared to the first half which was too bad. I hope to be able to play aggressively like in the second half, holding onto the ball and constantly attacking the opponent's weak points."

(Message to fans and supporters)
"We are starting this season in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are grateful that you have come to Ajinomoto Stadium and watched us on TV. It is because of this situation that we wanted to deliver a victory for Tokyo. We are happy to have achieved that today."

"Leandro"
"Cerezo Osaka is always a very good team no matter when they play."
That's why I always feel like it's a difficult game when we play against each other.
"I think it was very good that we were able to come back and win the game, even though we conceded a goal. We were able to stay calm and play the game, so I am very happy with the result."

(Looking back at my second goal scene)
"I always practice free kicks."
I think we had a good result today.
I would like to express my gratitude once again to Morishita GK coach and the goalkeepers who always work with me in practice.

(Was it the intended course?)
"I can't talk too much about tactics, but in that scene Adailton and Abe players hid the ball well."
"I don't think I could see the opponent's GK, and I think I was able to kick it in a good direction myself."

(Did you feel that Morishige's entry as an anchor was significant?)
"In the second half, we were in a losing situation, so it was necessary for the team to move forward."
I think the team was able to play more positively with Oumari as center back and Morishige as anchor.
"I also feel that players like Mita, Adailton, and Nagai, who joined in the middle, have raised the team's gear."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"The start was stiff, and C Osaka had a tough schedule with back-to-back away games in just two days, but even in terms of results, we couldn't play our own soccer. However, as time went by, we were able to gradually create our shape, and since Morishige entered the anchor position, the ball started moving like it did last year when we were doing well, and we had many chances in the second half."
Goals were scored from set plays, but I think we were able to play aggressively and towards the goal in the second half.

(In the second half, with Morishige as the anchor, was it according to plan?)
"It was one of the plans. However, it wasn't something we were determined to do."
Today, I changed my position in the midfield a little bit, which I have been challenging since the camp.
I had the impression that the start was not going well because the time was short, but I think it became stable as time went by.
I thought we could hold on until the end, but it wasn't necessarily because of Morishige's anchor.

(Mori Shige player scored an important goal and gained trust within the team)
"The Urawa and Tokushima games were not "hot games", so I think that winning today's game in this way will give the team momentum."
Mori Shige showed a strong presence in that situation.
This season, there is a very tough competition for positions. We are able to have good training even in the midst of the difficulty of making it into the top 18. In the future, we want to continue to raise the team's strength while competing within the team, and I also want to continue to use Morishige as an anchor.

(Evaluation of Tagawa, who scored the equalizer)
"I think it's a sign of growth to be able to produce results in games this season. I hope he continues to focus on results and keeps producing them."

"C Osaka Levir CULPI Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very impressive game, showing a strong determination to score a goal."
Unfortunately, it was a disappointing result, but I think the attacking attitude of both teams was impressive.

(The reason why only three substitute players were used in the tight schedule of two away games in two days)
"At the beginning of the season, there is a difficulty in getting the team to work together, and I think that if there are too many substitute players, the balance will be disrupted."
Of course, there are also pluses, but in regards to today's game, it was not about disrupting the balance, but rather about being able to fight until the end with the players who were playing, so that's why there were such substitutions."

(I think we were playing well until the middle, but suddenly our defense became disorganized. How do you think about the cause?)
"As you said, there was a lack of stability in the end."
However, since the season has just begun, there are still areas where the foundation has not been established, so we want to improve our defensive corrections by playing a few more games from now on."

(Is it because we still can't play the coach's tactics for 90 minutes?)
"Considering that there are changes in the lineup and new players joining in every game, I think it's inevitable that there will be some instability in the first few games of the season."
"However, I think that as we continue to play games, communication will develop among the players and become more stable."
