[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kensuke NAGAI Player"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I aimed for the goal thinking that I could see the shooting course clearly and decided to swing my foot boldly."

(It was a game where the members were changed in consecutive battles)
"Since we were on a losing streak, we decided to take a bold approach and have players who haven't played yet bring momentum to the team and try to win again. I'm glad we were able to take 3 points."

(There were times when the first half PK didn't go in, but I didn't feel down)
"Everyone was positive, and even if we missed, there was a good atmosphere of encouraging each other to create another chance."
In the second half, I had a feeling that another chance would come.

(The goal scene was a pass from Leandro)
"Leandro gave me a simple pass, so I was able to score and it was great."

(Is this the result of our practice?)
"I have been working on it in practice for a long time, and I was able to show it today. I felt that daily practice is very important."

"Rio OMORI"
(Made my debut with the top team)
"Everyone gave their all since watching the game from the bench."
I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to play in such a tense situation.
Even after coming on as a substitute, everyone was tired, but they still gave me support and encouragement.
I realized once again that there are many things I need to do in order to catch up with everyone. I'm glad I was able to participate in the cup tournament this time, but I think it's meaningless if I don't get involved in more and more games in the league, so I want to continue to build up as I have been doing so far."

(What are the instructions from the coach?)
"He told us to play clearly considering the game situation and to just go for it, so we were able to smoothly get into the game."

(How do you want to connect this experience to the future?)
"After being promoted to the top, it took more time than I expected to actually play, but I am now realizing the difficulty and responsibility of playing in a game."
"I want to become a player who can fight more without wasting the experience of this game."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very tough game, but we were able to come together as a team and earn 3 points."
In the last few games, there has been a bit of a bad flow in the league, and it was a difficult match due to a tough schedule away against Oita. Last time, we were able to start off with a good game, but the intensity dropped.
Today, we talked about giving our all until the very end and entering the game with determination.
Daiki Mori also did his job for the first time in the top team.
Amidst the injured players, there are also players who have returned. With the addition of new young talent, we will continue to do our best in the league matches this weekend.

"Summary of Oita Katanozaka Tomohiro Coach's Press Conference"
"With consecutive losses in the league, we approached the Levain Cup at home with the desire to stop the losing streak."
The result was a 0-1 loss, unable to score and unable to stop the losing streak. It's only natural to feel disappointed when looking at the score and result, but against Tokyo, the players who started today were either starting for the first time in a while or had limited playing time, and there were also players who haven't played in the league for a while. They challenged themselves and played a very good game, in my opinion.
A good game is a fast-paced team that fights hard and tough in Tokyo.
We also challenged without giving in, and even when we were behind, we fought without giving up until the end to aim for a goal. Such an attitude is not about the tactics we have built up so far, but it is important and it was expressed on the pitch as we talked about it.
We believe that by continuing this attitude, including the members who did not play today, and preparing well for what we should do, we can definitely break this trend, score and win. Let's believe in our players and our way of fighting and make it a game.
This result of consecutive losses is also my responsibility.
However, even though the players are losing, they are really trying to win and score in this week's training and today's game.
I am grateful to the players and I want to continue to prepare well for the next game without losing that attitude.
I think the next away game against Urawa will also be a difficult one, but I want to do my best to earn points.
