[Player/Coach Comments]

"Bruno UVINI"
(How we have adjusted so far)
"It was difficult to understand the characteristics of my teammates and the way the team fights in a short period of about one week after joining. However, I am happy for this opportunity."
Also, I believe it is thanks to all of you that I was able to play for 90 minutes.
"I wanted to win, but I think getting 1 point away is not a bad result."

(It was unfortunate to concede, but how do you feel about your own goals?)
"I don't think conceding is anyone's fault, it's everyone's responsibility. On the other hand, I didn't score the goal alone. We talked about aiming for that spot together during set pieces and decided to score."
"I am really happy to be able to play in the game today."

(How did you feel about the level of J-League?)
"I played my first game, but I had been watching J-League a lot before and after coming to Japan."
I think the J-League is a very high-level league, whether you watch it on TV or actually play. I think all teams have a balanced level of skill.
Tokushima is also a good team and not an easy opponent to beat. Today's game ended in a draw, and I don't think any game is easy to win.

(About scoring a goal in my debut match)
"I am happy to have scored a goal, but I would have been even happier if the team had won."
As a defender, it wasn't my role to score goals, but I'm happy that I was able to fight well in this game and that my teammates and supporters were cheering for me. I'm truly grateful to God."

(What kind of conversation was there after the match?)
"I talked with the Brazilian players and there were many things that happened in today's difficult match. We encouraged each other and I also expressed my gratitude to everyone in the locker room."
"There were difficult times to get here, but I am truly grateful to be able to reach this moment now."

"Manato SHINADA"
"My body was quite heavy and there were tough parts, but in terms of condition, it felt like my first game, so I knew I still had a long way to go before the match even started."
"It was good that I was able to play for a long time, and I want to take a positive view of the changes I felt compared to last season."

(I felt it was difficult to make a full comeback)
"There were also new players and Brazilian players, so there were still some parts where it was difficult to unify our intentions."
"We want to share our image while talking firmly from now on during practice."

(Difference from ideal play)
"I think the biggest thing is that my long ball quality has improved significantly since my ankle injury healed, so now I can see the farthest when I have the ball."
I think Tokyo is also a team with a fast vertical attack as a characteristic, so I want to play soccer that allows attacking players to keep attacking by putting in high-quality balls.

(Looking ahead)
"I didn't play in that many games last season, so I don't think I'm a player with a lot of ability yet. First, I want to do what I can and gradually contribute to the team's strength."
"I also want to do my best so that the team can continue to ride the flow towards victory."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"In the first half, the opponent took control of the pace and scored the first goal. Recently, many games have had this kind of development, and today's match also became a very difficult one."
However, in the second half, we were able to fight aggressively and score one point. After that, there were chances and pinches, but in the end, we were able to finish with a draw. I think this was a step forward towards advancing to the GS. We will continue to fight together in the remaining two games to secure our qualification."

(About the performance of Bruno Uvini, Manato Shinada, and Leon Nozawa)
"It was a long time since Shinada's last game. At first, he couldn't get a feel for the game, but I think he gradually regained his rhythm."
It was a question of how far Bruno could go, but he adjusted over time and scored the equalizing goal, which I think gave a great boost to the team.
Although it was a short time, Reion showed a strong commitment to the team and I believe all three players played for the sake of winning points.

(In the end, we changed the system and increased the number of defenders, but the goal was)
"Since Yoshifu had just returned from an injury and there were many uncertain factors, we also considered Tokushima's way of fighting and fought until the end with the understanding that a draw would be okay."

"Tokushima - Daniel POYATOS Coach"
"I am truly satisfied that the team has shown their strength."
"They played at a good level and showed great behavior while maintaining possession. I am proud of everyone."

(The three players in the midfield were able to pass the ball effectively while maintaining their positions, causing damage to the opponent. Was that the plan?)
"There was such an intention."
Decided after consulting with the staff where we can attack to cause damage.
I was able to make a good play with a short amount of time and good preparation.
(League) In the previous match against Kashiwa, we were unable to produce good plays, but I feel that it is important to continue training diligently every day."
