"Masato MORISHIGE"
(What I felt in today's defeat)
"When the team is not doing well, there are things you can feel even during the game."
I felt again that things like being unbalanced, being late in timing, and losing the ball to the opponent in the ball game do not work well.
However, we still need to gradually improve it.
Today, as I played center back, I had many thoughts and there were also many things I felt I could have done better.
There, we need to have a solid discussion within the team and work together to improve our situation. We believe that we can make it happen on our own.

(The reason for the defeat is not just one, but where do you think the cause lies?)
"I don't think there is a big problem with the way we fight. The team has been losing and as humans, we can get depressed. However, it is important to be able to prepare well from practice for the next game."
First of all, I think it will be important to approach things positively from a mental standpoint starting with practice.

(Regarding the second half, I think we were able to generate more momentum by changing our system. As for the second half of the game)
I think we were playing with a formation that aimed to score. In the first half, we also had some trouble with our defense, so we played while being conscious of winning the ball in higher positions.
However, things didn't go as planned, but we were able to create more chances in the first half and I think the new players who joined gave the team a lot of energy.

(About Bruno UVINI)
"Although we have only trained together for a few days, I felt that he is a very talented player and a smart player."
"I think that with new players joining and the players currently playing having more responsibility, they must fight for Tokyo."

"Takuya AOKI"
"The time period where we were behind was long."
We were conscious of fighting and second balls, and we were thinking of aiming forward as a team.
However, I think we lost today including the part of the ball against the opponent.

(It is important to lead the team in this situation)
"It is not something that can be explained quickly, so I think it is necessary to firmly adjust through practice."
"I think we need to discuss and improve together."

(Looking ahead)
"As we continue to suffer defeats, it will be important for each and every one of us to think about areas for improvement and have open discussions."
"I don't think the team should fall apart at that point."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"We were scored on from a set piece and then in the first half, we couldn't push forward."
I wanted to create a more aggressive form where the players in the front line would push forward more, but Kashima had a higher pressure and we couldn't take the ball away in the first half.
In addition, we were put in a difficult situation and conceded a second goal, so in the second half we tried to change our shape and be more aggressive from the front, but we didn't have enough strength.
"We must regain our aggressive Tokyo soccer in order to overcome this predicament, so let's all come together and do it."

(It felt like it became quite a tough content)
"Of course, we have to take the 5 consecutive losses seriously."
"I believe it is my responsibility that I have not been able to guide the players in a good way while they are struggling and doing their best."

"Kashima - Naoki Soma Press Conference Summary"
"First of all, I am truly grateful to all the supporters who have gathered here to welcome Tokyo at home."
I think this is our first win of the season in the league, although we have only won in Levain since I became the coach at home.
I am very happy to be able to celebrate together.
The game was a tight one, with Tokyo countering from a strong defense. This was something we had envisioned based on various information. I also think it was a good start to the game.
In that, we firmly take the lead, add points, pull away at the end, and finish with a 3-0 score. The players fought with great energy. I am truly grateful.
Of course, in terms of points, one from a set play.
There were some moments where we struggled a bit, but we managed to score one goal from a set piece.
It was similar to the previous match in terms of time zone, but we were able to score an additional goal just before the end of the first half. And in the second half, we were able to secure the final goal while maintaining a 0-0 score. I am grateful to the players for their focus and energy from the beginning to the end of today's game, including those moments.
I want to show that we are ready to fight and take on a fighting pose, as we continue to have back-to-back games in the next two days.
"We want to prepare ourselves, not only with the players who played today, but also with the rest of the players, so that we can fight on the pitch and get on the train to Nagoya."

(Evaluation of consecutive victories)
"The idea of aiming for consecutive victories was shared with the players and we challenged ourselves towards that goal."
So, if you don't bring out that power, it will be the same as what you couldn't do before. Not ending in a draw, but rather winning this and creating a cycle of consecutive wins, this becomes an important game for us. I talked to the players about challenging with energy.
I was also watching from the sidelines of the pitch, and I felt something incredible, so I'm glad that I was able to make it happen in the end.
