"Kensuke NAGAI Player"
"In the first half, there were many sideways and backwards passes and it was difficult to reach the goal. However, in the second half, we were able to make adjustments and start making vertical passes, which allowed us to advance towards the goal."
"We want to continue this momentum from the start of the game."

(Passed in first place without losing. What we gained was)
"Not losing was a big thing. I think it's difficult to pass through undefeated, so in this tournament where young players also participate, I think each one will gain confidence."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"The shot went in just as I imagined. It was the same course I practice kicking. I'm glad I was able to kick it into the side net."

(It seems that the sense of shooting is very good)
"My shoulder condition has improved a lot, so my balance is also coming back. I think that's why I'm changing for the better, including those aspects."

(The game was a fusion of veterans and young players, but did they communicate?)
"We talked about playing without fear of making mistakes and being aggressive, and in the second half, Yasuda came on and put pressure on from the front. I think we were able to feel the speed that we can't experience anywhere else. In that sense, I think it was a game that will lead to the next one."

(Could we gain momentum for the next game?)
"Personally, I was able to score for the first time in a while, but it is important to accumulate points in the league. I think we need to change it again and work hard to bring out the Tokyo style."

(It was an assist by Higashi, but the experienced players talked to each other.)
"The assist was by Higashi, but before that, it was Hideta who made the vertical pass."
In the first half, there were a lot of sideways and backwards passes, so I said to put in vertical passes even if it results in a mistake, otherwise we won't be able to switch to attack. Keigo reacted to that and the others started moving as well.
I feel like that goal was scored with a vertical pass from player Shinaida.
"I feel like we need to increase scenes like that more."

(I think young players have the skills)
"I thought that there were more back passes because of the feeling that they should not make mistakes, so I think that the player's own sense will be acquired by continuing to pass through there even if they make mistakes."
"I conveyed the message to continue challenging."

"Taishi Brandon NOZAWA"
(I was thinking about how I would play in my first appearance for the top team)
"I was able to play without feeling too nervous."
I was thinking of playing aggressively even if I made mistakes in the game.
Even if it's okay to make mistakes, I was trying to minimize judgment errors and keep the score at zero. As for aggressiveness, I couldn't do it well."

(Were there any things that you were careful about while playing, even though there were many veterans and young players in today's lineup?)
"As a team, we had a desire to build momentum in this game, so each of us had a feeling that it would be an important match for the next one."
I think the team was able to unify their intentions, so I tried to coach during the game while being conscious of that.

(The sense of accomplishment gained after finishing today's match)
"I was able to calmly handle cross balls and shots, so I thought I need to work on my coordination with my teammates, decision-making when I have the ball, and moving players to bring the ball forward a little more."

(Expected big save in the second half)
"I had anticipated the ball coming towards that direction, but I didn't think I would be able to reach it. I'm glad I was able to get my hand on it somehow."

(The team was well organized despite many changes in both placement and members. Things to keep in mind within the team)
"It's important to lead the team as a GK, but I think we were able to do well because not only myself, but also my teammates had a high level of awareness and were constantly communicating with each other, even when the members changed."

(In a situation where we caught up from behind, I was able to play calmly and evaluate myself)
"Honestly, I wanted to challenge more."
"I felt a little hesitant, so even though it was a great game, I wanted to challenge more."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"In the first half, there were many passive plays, and even when we took the ball, it didn't go forward and there were many back passes."
During halftime, we talked about "let's be more positive and not worry about our ranking since we have already secured first place." In the second half, there were some position changes, but we aimed for the opponent's goal and the young players showed their strengths, giving us an intense game. I think they played with passion.

(Regarding Takumi NAKAMURA, who started in the second half, and Kojiro YASUDA, who was registered as a type 2 player)
"We knew that Takumi's best position was as a full-back, so we challenged him to see how well he could play in a higher position, but it didn't quite go as we expected. We were reminded once again of his strengths and abilities as a full-back."
Although there are strengths as a distributor, there are still areas where the quality of crosses and defensive intensity from a deeper position is lacking as a full-back.
He is aware of it himself and is also working on training, so I hope for his growth in the future. I think he has shown his ability to play as a full-back on both sides.
I think Yasuda has shown his strengths.
However, there were also situations where he couldn't keep up with the speed of the professionals, but I think it will serve as motivation for his future growth.
"I want to see his strengths and glimpses until he gets tired, so I have high expectations for his future growth."

(Arthur SILVA and Joan OUMARI, as well as Lori, seemed to move smoothly in the center, but is it because they were able to organize their defense?)
"I don't think we played that well in the first half, but in the second half, I think they showed their strengths."
They showed their strength, and I think Rengawa showed his physical strength until the end.
If they do not enter the members of the league Kashiwa game they fought the other day, the fighting power will not be organized as they go on fighting.
"I'm thinking about organizing while playing during the losing streak."

"Summary of Oita Katanozaka Tomohiro Coach's Press Conference"
"In order for us to advance in the Levain Cup, we had no choice but to win in the final round."
Selected today's members in the midst of consecutive games with the league, told the players "We have to win today" and prepared them for this match. It was a disappointing result that we couldn't advance to the finals, but I think we were able to create chances against Tokyo and it was a game that we could have won. It's a shame that we couldn't finish with a win.
The players gave everything they had. But even then, not being able to win means that something is missing.
I hope this experience will be used in the league games again.
"Since we have an away game against Sendai in just two days, I hope the players who played today will recover well and switch gears, and continue to prepare well for the remaining league games so that we can have a winning game. I want them to challenge themselves."
