"Masato MORISHIGE"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"First of all, the ball was good. I have confidence that I can score if a good ball comes, and Ogawa player gave me the ball just as I imagined."

(There were also position changes during the match, but things to keep in mind at that time)
"I was conscious of the build-up."
"I tried to change the situation by taking off one piece from my place and feeding it. In the first half, I couldn't do it smoothly, so in the second half, I thought that if I could settle down without flapping behind, our time would increase, so I played with that in mind after changing positions."

(Although it ended up being a 3-game losing streak, the areas that need to be fixed are)
"Defense. It is important to reduce the number of goals conceded, but more importantly, we need to improve our overall defense. The first half wasn't bad, but there have been some disjointed parts in the past few games."
If everyone can aggressively go for the opponent's ball like in the second half, I think we can fight with an advantage. With the image of the second half today, I hope we can play while discussing how to defend against the opponent.

(I think we will become a no-audience game, but looking towards the next match)
"It is unfortunate that a state of emergency has been declared at a time when fans and supporters are gradually increasing in the stadium, but we want to play while feeling the joy of being able to play at least. It is lonely without fans and supporters, but for the fans who support us in front of the TV, we want to fight firmly."

(Current team situation)
"It's not all bad, we can see some good things about ourselves."
However, it is common in soccer to give the opponent a chance and concede a goal with just one shot due to our own mistakes. However, preventing this is linked to each individual's mindset, as well as small details such as closing the gap by one step or half a step, which can prevent goals and lead to scoring. Therefore, we want to improve our precision by one step or half a step.

(Regarding the result of 3 consecutive losses)
"There are certainly disappointing and frustrating aspects, but on the other hand, overcoming this situation is something that we can only do with our own strength. So, we want to take a positive outlook and turn this situation around."
Next, there will be the Levain Cup and it will become a league, but I want to prepare for it day by day by training firmly.

"Takuya UCHIDA"
(Substitute appearance, but what I kept in mind)
"Since it was a substitute appearance as a side back, I was conscious of creating chances in the attacking part while paying attention to the defensive part, aiming for assists by carrying the ball myself, and going for goals like in the Kawasaki game."

(How did it feel to actually play?)
"I feel like I was able to do a lot of plays that I wanted to do, but there were also things that I couldn't do. I want to improve on those aspects and be able to activate the team more, create chances, and add accents in the attack by aiming for goals. Those are also my strengths, so I want to continue playing while improving on them."

(Although he had been an accent on the right side back, he made efforts on the attacking side)
"I was conscious of the part of the cross ball and making the whole team forward by myself."
In the first half, we didn't have much possession of the ball, so I thought we could create time even as a side back. I think we were able to have a different way of holding the ball and being involved in the attack compared to the first half."

(The challenge was in how much we could play in the midst of a play that didn't seem unfamiliar)
"In the second half, I think the opponent's momentum weakened and we had some room to spare, so we need to play more like we did in the first half to see how much we can do."
I want to create more chances in the attacking part.
In fact, I haven't been able to score or assist while losing today. I still think there is room for improvement in that area.

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We had a good start, but we were caught off guard for a moment."
That's where Tosu's toughness comes in, and we can't afford to be caught off guard like that. Of course, the kicker was open, but the middle was crowded, so we needed to make a play by either blocking or heading the ball in a good way.
In the second half, we were able to show our spirit and score one goal, and we were able to put pressure on the opponent. Compared to the previous Fukuoka game, I think our mentality after conceding was good. This season, we have conceded a few too many goals, so in the next game, we want to focus more on scoring the first goal and fight as a team.

(In the second half, we changed our system and tried to turn the tide of the game, but I think we lacked effective attacks. The main reason was)
"We were able to score one goal in the second half and had more clear chances than in the first half. I think if Nagai, Ogawa, and Leandro's shots had gone in, we could have scored, but we couldn't finish them off. I also think that the last-minute persistence of Tosu's players was a factor in not being able to score more goals."

(The timing of the conceded goal in the first half was not good, but the cause was)
"I think there was a defender as I mentioned earlier in the scene of the goal conceded from a cross."
Among them, Tosu's player's pinpoint cross and Sakai's heading technique were excellent.
The second goal was a scene where we had to put pressure on the opponent from the DF line when we lost the loose ball and they carried the ball, but our approach was slow and they were able to take a shot. We were caught off guard by the lack of pressure in the vital area.
The ability of Tosu players to turn their tiredness into points is also a part of their technical skills, and in matches against Tosu, they have been scoring super middle goals in consecutive games, so I can't deny the compatibility aspect. Of course, it was a good shot and a wonderful goal, but they also scored from that position last season.
Although there was some sloppiness in our defense, I think it became a difficult game.

(Lost three consecutive games in the league, but current state of mind)
"I am very concerned."
First, we must change one flow.
A situation that could easily lead to getting stuck in the mud.
There is a Levain Cup in 3 days, but I think we all have to fight together to stop this flow somehow.

(The purpose of changing the second half system and how to send out players)
"I wanted to put more people on crosses in front of the goal, so I changed it."
"Since Tosu took two points in the first half, we sent them out with the message that we can also score."

"Sagan Tosu - Myung Hwi KIM Press Conference Summary"
"It was good to be able to win against Tokyo. As for the game plan, we didn't want to leave our back open with a high press against a strong individual opponent like in the previous match, so we thought about and adjusted our positioning."
"In the first half, we were able to execute our game plan as planned, but in the second half, we were pushed back. However, I think the players fought tenaciously."

(In both the first and second half, it seemed like Tokyo had control from the start)
"Because they have something."
"Of course, it would be great if we could keep up with the pace, but if we can't, we'll just have to deal with it. I don't have any particular attachment to it."

(In the second half, it seemed that we conceded a goal while trying to respond to the opponent's change in system by changing our own system. However, the intention to fight without changing the system was)
"(As you can see, there are naturally differences in individual abilities, so the only way to defend is as a team. We were winning 2-0, so pushing forward and bringing the game to our own rhythm was also one option.)
There was also an away game, and the opponent was on a losing streak and seemed to be in a bad mood, so we were pushed by their momentum.
The reason for the goal was not only due to giving away a set play, but also because there were too many players and they were taken out as a unit.
However, we were able to create our own rhythm by moving the ball firmly on the opponent's court, and although we couldn't quite make it to the shot, I guess that's something we'll have to grow into.
"We also believe that we need to continue playing games in this situation and develop our players. We want to move forward from here."
