"Diego OLIVEIRA"
(It was a difficult development to have both teams have players sent off, but looking back on the game)
"Today was a very difficult game."
It became difficult from the 11 vs 11, and then we had a player sent off first, making it 11 vs 10 and making it even more difficult.
However, in the second half, the opponent also had a player sent off, and we were able to score the opening goal from a set piece opportunity.
"We were able to win somehow, even though we lost the last point in Sapporo."

(About goal performance)
"A friend from Brazil is suffering from the pandemic."
"This performance was a promise to my friend that if I scored a goal while wearing a mask, I would do this performance."

(Looking back at the opening goal)
"It was a really fast cross and Nagai player deflected it with a header, but the ball was also fast."
"For me, the most important thing was to focus on hitting the ball firmly and being able to reflexively adjust to it, so I'm glad I was able to do that."

(Is the condition improving?)
"I have a very good feeling."
I think it will get better from here, and I am very happy because I have been able to score goals.
It's great that a goal has been scored.
However, I am happy to be able to score goals, but I think it is because the players behind me are also defending well.
"I want to express my sincere gratitude."

"Masato MORISHIGE"
(After Tsuyoshi WATANABE was sent off, the team was careful about the following)
"Not only defending with one less player, but also thinking about how to attack, I think the coach chose today's formation."
"I played with the intention of building up from the back, even if it meant pushing myself a little, by defending to a certain extent and with players like Okazaki and Takumi NAKAMURA who can hold the ball on the defensive line."

(How did Diego OLIVEIRA look from Morishige's perspective?)
"I thought he was a reliable player."
With 10 players, there was a lot of space, so players like Diego OLIVEIRA, Adailton, Tagawa, and Nagai, who are good at using space, were able to use it well. It's a shame that we were sent off, but we took it positively.
Diego OLIVEIRA not only contributed to the attack, but also to the defense. He is a player who always works hard on defense, so I think his usual efforts were reflected."

(The coach feels that the ability to make adjustments on the pitch has improved, but how does he feel about it?)
"We know where our strengths and weaknesses lie. How do we respond to our opponents? Both the coach and the players have a few tricks up their sleeves if this doesn't work."
"I think being able to make adjustments while playing in the game is a factor that prevents us from panicking during the match."

(A victory that overcomes setbacks. Looking towards the next match)
"Losing Tsuyoshi WATANABE is a big negative, but I think this can be an opportunity for other players to step up and compete. This competition within the team can create a positive cycle, and if players perform well, it will push Tsuyoshi WATANABE to also perform well next time."
"I hope it becomes a good cycle where it is not always guaranteed that seats are available."

(About Adailton's contribution)
"He is willing to take on one-on-one battles and even when two players come at him, he still goes towards the goal, so I think he is a difficult player for the defense. This year, he has been able to create space by utilizing his driving force and ball retention on the side. I think it's a new form for Tokyo that we haven't seen before."

(There are also easy parts when looking from behind)
"Because there are many fast attacks vertically, we tend to skip the midfield and go on the attack. In that situation, if we can create space on the sides, it adds depth to our attack and makes it easier for the back, and from there we can launch a different type of attack."
"It's more like a part that this team is missing, or rather, a sense of having gained another weapon."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a tough game, but I think it was a very important 3 points for everyone to work hard and bring the victory."

(After Tsuyoshi WATANABE was sent off)
"We started with a 4-4-1 formation, but when we were being attacked on both sides, I thought it would be difficult, so when Tsuyoshi OGASHIWA got injured, we had time to talk with the players. It's really unfortunate that Tsuyoshi OGASHIWA got injured and I hope he can return as soon as possible and show us his energetic self."
I think having that little bit of time allowed us to focus and play the first half at zero.
"During halftime, we gave instructions to the players and were able to have a very tight game by putting in Nagai, who can work even harder."

(Mori Shige played as a center back from the middle of the game, but how do you want to use him in the next match?)
"I'm still undecided. The condition of other players also matters, so I want to assess the situation in the next three days and face the Kawasaki match."

(After being sent off, I think the players were constantly talking to each other)
"I felt like they were talking to each other accurately about where the danger was, with Morishige at the center. I could see that the team was maturing. We haven't practiced with a back three this season. It was more of an improvisation, but I think it worked well because Adailton had experience playing as a wing back last season."

(Evaluation of Diego OLIVEIRA)
"I think he played tirelessly on both offense and defense for the team's victory. I think it was a great performance."
This season, we started a little late, but gradually improved our condition and are playing really well.
I think he is playing as the center player of the team both mentally and physically.

"Sapporo Petrovic Press Conference Summary"
"I think we were able to dominate and control the game until the opponent received a red card, which was a very good start."
However, after that, either the difficulty increased or they became too cautious, resulting in more lateral passes and time passing by.
Our player was sent off in the second half, resulting in a goal being conceded.
As they tried to catch up to the tie, they gave up a second goal from a quick attack, resulting in a painful development.
After that, we were able to make a good attack and reduce the deficit to one point. We created chances that seemed to be able to tie the game, but we were unable to do so.
We were unable to put pressure on the opponent during the time when we had the advantage of having one more person than them today.
It is understandable that the players became cautious against the opponent's sharp counterattack, but that is something to reflect on.
"It became a game that we deserved to lose."

(What instructions did you give to the players at halftime?)
"We talked about putting more pressure on."
We will try to put pressure on them from the front and push them into the half court. We also discussed attacking while rotating well, as the opponent has been sealing the sides with 5 players.
We were caught off guard for a moment, resulting in one of our players being sent off and conceding a goal, leading to a painful turn of events.
We were able to create a good shape after going 0-2 down, but we still needed to do so during a period of numerical advantage. I did tell the players at halftime, but it didn't quite come together.
