[Player and Coach Comments]

《Sodai HASUKAWA Player》
(Although it was an emergency appearance, the way I entered the match was)
"Since I came in without a warm-up, I was a bit nervous.
I was a bit anxious in an unfamiliar position, but I focused on starting with defense, showcasing my strengths, and being careful not to lose in one-on-one situations or speed, entering the game calmly.
"Although we conceded a goal afterwards, I think we entered the match well."

(It was a very frustrating match, but looking back on the game)
"As a result, I played and we lost by a large margin, so the responsibility is significant.
However, this is not the end. The season is still ongoing, and we are currently in a series of matches with the next game coming up soon, so we want to prepare positively as a team once more and overcome this situation together.

(What is necessary to break this situation)
I think there are technical aspects, but at this point, the fighting spirit and the determination to give everything for Tokyo until the very end will lead to victory.
I believe that the strongest feeling right now is to run together, fight, and win the match in front of us.

(Looking ahead)
"Right now, I have a strong desire to play in the match and help Tokyo win."
I want to be a player who brings victory in both the Levain Cup and league matches.
We want to work hard to become a team that can receive strong support from our fans and supporters.

《Keigo HIGASHI》
"We entered the match trying to break the bad streak we were in after three consecutive losses and turn it into a good flow, but we lost with a significant score of 0-3, which is very disappointing."
I think everyone was really invested, and I believe we have to keep that feeling going. It's a difficult situation, but I want us all to somehow bring it to a good outcome.

(What is necessary to score)
"There are chances, and whether they go into the goal or not is a very difficult part.
"We often concede the first goal, so we want to improve on that."

(About one-third of the league matches have been completed. Regarding the points gap with the top team)
"It is a realistically difficult situation, and I don't think we can easily say we are aiming for first place. First, I want to focus on securing a victory in the next match."

(Defensive Issues)
"There are various factors that lead to conceding goals, so it is not possible to single out just one thing."
"When a mistake happens, we need to work together to cover for each other, and we must delve into that."

(It was the 300th match, but what kind of feelings did you have as you approached it?)
"It was without spectators, but I thought I had to feel the joy of being able to play again and express that on the pitch, but it's really disappointing that it didn't lead to a victory.
Losing four consecutive matches is truly frustrating as a player.
However, this season still has many matches to go, so I want to celebrate a victory in the 301st match.

《Tokyo - Summary of Manager Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference》
"I believe the 0-3 result at home is the responsibility of the manager. I think the players played without giving up until the end, and there were voices calling to score a goal until the very end, so in that sense, I think they showed a willingness to move forward.
However, I believe the team must do something about the ongoing goals conceded.

(Regarding conceding goals at the start of both halves)
"We talked about raising our concentration and entering the match firmly, but especially at the start of the first half, I think there were some moments of confusion due to an accident. However, in the second half, we discussed this, and I believe the players entered the game properly."
In the scene of the first goal conceded in the first half, there were possibilities to respond better in other areas. This season, we have been particularly noticeable for conceding goals during dangerous periods and at the start of matches, so I need to have a thorough discussion with the players again before entering the game. Since we are in a situation where we are always chasing the game, we need to create a state where we can fight tenaciously, or else we will always face difficult match situations.

(About the changes in Yokohama FM)
"I don't think there have been any significant changes. There were instances where we were influenced by Elber's individual skill."
I have the impression that the gap between the team that has been doing very well since the current coach took over and ourselves has become apparent.

(Regarding Hasukawa's evaluation)
I think he did well.
I think Uchida was injured just one minute into the match, and it was surprising to see him play, but I believe he played well for the full 90 minutes.

(Cause of the 3rd goal)
"The way we lost the ball was not good, and our defensive response afterwards was also lacking. I think Hasukawa was positioned high to steal a goal, so ultimately we were exploited in the space, but I can't blame him."

《Yokohama FM - Summary of Coach Ange POSTECOGLOU's Press Conference》
It was a good performance.
We worked hard and were able to put pressure on the opponent. We scored 3 points and still had more chances to score.
It was important to consistently continue playing our football.
Except for the opening match, we are steadily climbing the ranks, so we want to continue this way.

(Despite some moments not being in Yokohama FM's favor during the first half with a one-point lead, they defended tenaciously and did not concede a goal; however, how that is evaluated remains to be seen)
"No team can maintain a good performance for the entire 90 minutes.
The opponent applied pressure from the front, but we are confident that we are physically fitter than any other team.
I felt that we created more chances to score and that our hard work paid off in many areas, so I think we had a good game.
