《Kyosuke TAGAWA Player》
(Today's performance)
"In the first half, I think I could have been more involved with the ball and broken down the opponent, and I wanted to increase those opportunities.
I think Diego OLIVEIRA should have taken the shot himself instead of making a mistake by passing it.
I felt that we need to show more aggression, but overall, we were able to defend well and play with a good sense.

(Although it didn't lead to a goal, there were many moments where he was involved in good opportunities)
"The ball is rolling to me right now. I think that's a sign that I'm in good form, but that ball won't keep rolling to me forever. I want to make sure I take my chances and be able to help the team in crucial moments like this."

(Although we ended in a draw against a strong team, how is the overall condition of the team?)
"It was an away game, and we were able to secure at least a minimum result. I don't think we need to look down on the performance, and I believe we played a match that can lead to the next one."

Kensuke NAGAI
(Although I came on as a substitute, I was thinking about how to enter the match)
"I thought that if we could increase the number of times we regained possession during the transition between attack and defense, we could push back again. I was also conscious of applying pressure while marking the opponent's defensive midfielder.
"Also, I entered the match thinking about how to push up the entire team and push back."

I think that actually playing gave the team momentum.
I believe we were able to create more chances by getting to the shot.
I want to be able to seize such opportunities and, after pushing back the opponent, score goals to help the team win in the upcoming matches.

(It was an intense match where both sides showcased their strengths. Stopping Nagoya's winning streak was significant)
"Being able to keep a clean sheet as a team was huge, and since we had been conceding goals in the league, the entire team was able to make adjustments.
While continuing this, I want to aim for 3 points next and also ensure that the forwards can score.

(Things necessary for the team to improve)
"Personally, I feel that I need to increase the number of times I get into the area in front of the goal, and after passing the ball, I think it's important to run into dangerous zones and create space for my teammates, even if it means being a decoy."

《Ryoya OGAWA》
"Both teams had the mindset to start with defense, resulting in a tough match. We aimed to score, including from set pieces, but it ended in a 0-0 draw. However, in the end, we were able to bring home 1 point from the away game, and I think it was not bad that we kept the goal difference at zero."

(The feeling gained from today's match)
"Not only the quick attacks that we are consciously focusing on as a team, but we were also able to create several opportunities to break through and take shots ourselves, so I think the results of our practice in those areas are starting to show."

(This was the first clean sheet of the league)
"Up until now, we had many goals conceded due to mistakes, so today we were able to eliminate those aspects. Everyone was able to focus and enter the match today."

(It was the first match with the team after the national team, but what I felt)
"I wanted to play to help the team win, but I still wasn't satisfied with my own performance."

(At the start, Hotaka NAKAMURA had to be substituted due to injury, but was there a part where the team played carefully?)
"We shared the importance of entering the game with renewed focus, and since Nagoya has good players on the sides, we all approached the game by carefully responding without diving in too easily."

(It was said that Nagoya has many distinctive attackers, but how did everyone think about defending against them?)
"Everyone was aware of the challenge & cover, and the defense was focused on actively pushing the line up and fighting compactly."

(I was playing with vertical passes to the front line and moving into the center, but I was conscious of what I needed to do to break through)
"I thought that maximizing the speed of Nagai, who came on midway, and having Adailton on the left side play wide would bring out his strengths, so I was thinking about creating space on the side while also being aware of supporting inside to increase the variations in our attack."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
Although the result was a scoreless draw, I believe both teams played a tightly contested match in front of many fans and supporters.
We were able to earn a very meaningful point away from home.

(How we tried to break down Nagoya's defense)
"I think we surprisingly created chances in the first half."
Although we were stopped by LANGERAK in a close scene, I think we were able to create a good breakdown. I believe we were able to go from a meaningful breakdown to a shot.
I think it just comes down to the final accuracy, so I felt there was a sense of achievement in terms of content.

I think it was the best performance of the season.
I believe it was a draw that came with substance.
From the first half, we were able to move well and create chances, and our defense was focused.
I think both teams have distinctive players in the front line, but I believe we were able to respond well to the opponent's fast attacks and played a very focused match.

《Nagoya - Massimo FICCADENTI Coach Press Conference Summary》
It was a match where both sides fought to win.
It was a very passionate match, especially as we fought to not let the opponent take control in the central part of the field. In the first half, Tokyo had several scoring opportunities, and in the second half, we created similar scenes as well.
I think it's important to value the fact that we were able to earn one point against such an opponent, as it leads to future points. As for our approach and direction, the entire team was united and able to fight through each phase of the game. Today, the players gave their all to win, but in the end, we finished with just one point.

(The rhythm of the attack changed with the introduction of player Saito, but the aim was)
"Rather, it may have seemed that the substitute players performed well during the time they entered, as there was more space across the entire field. In any case, the players with strength in attack were on the field from the start of the match.
Right after the start, many highly skilled players lined up, and during substitutions, players who could clash with power were brought in.
In terms of how we will defend against each other's attacks, the opponent has defended strongly. I don't think we can say that anyone was particularly good today.

(It was difficult to break through, but perhaps the opponent's defense was better than expected)
"In the position of a defensive midfielder, there was Morishige, who has high abilities as a center-back. Tokyo has not only played defensively; the scenes of defense with the defensive line and Morishige show that Tokyo's strength is quite solid.
Tokyo successfully executed a solid defense.
I think we should praise Tokyo for the fact that we couldn't create decisive scenes.
