《Diego OLIVEIRA》
(It was a goal scored right at the start, reflecting on the goal scene)
"We had a good breakdown on the right side, and it was a good flow.
A great cross came from Uchida, and I just had to finish it, so I think half of the goal belongs to Uchida.
I hope they continue to contribute to the team as they have been playing well lately.

(The team achieved consecutive wins without conceding a goal)
"There have been good games in the past, but we struggled to secure victories. Being able to win two matches here has given the team confidence.
I hope to achieve more victories among these.

(The team has been improving, but I think there are parts that have changed)
"We struggled to win and went through a tough period, but we were able to play good matches.
I believe that one of the factors is that we were able to seize victory in Kashiwa and regain even more confidence by winning against G Osaka today.

《Takuya UCHIDA》
(Assisted the winning goal, reflecting on that scene)
"When Takahagi had the ball, I was able to get into space well, and from there, I faced a one-on-one situation and was able to get past my opponent."
I was glad to be able to deliver a good cross ball in time for Diego OLIVEIRA.

(Do you feel that the coordination among the defense has improved?)
"We have kept two consecutive clean sheets, and while there are still areas that need improvement, I believe the overall quality of our defense as a team has been rising."

(I am challenging myself in a new position as a side back, and what I keep in mind during this process)
"Of course, there is the defensive aspect, but since I am originally an attacking player, being the starting point for attacks is my characteristic.
"I am playing while thinking about how to connect the attack without creating gaps in defense."

(I felt a sense of accomplishment in this position)
"After winning the last match, I honestly didn't have clear confidence, but being able to assist this time has contributed to my confidence once again.
I want to improve the quality in the next match and beyond.

(Regarding being able to assist today despite the few assists from the full-backs)
"It's significant for me that I was able to make plays that lead to results, not just from the full-backs, and it has given me confidence by contributing to the victory.
I want to become a player who can continue to provide assists and score goals.

(Do you feel that today's victory gives the team more momentum?)
"After losing five in a row, we were able to stop the losing streak against Kashiwa, but in today's match, I thought that if we win, we can move forward, but if we lose, we would go back again.
I think it was good that we were able to connect to the next step today.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
It was a difficult match, but we were able to achieve a long-awaited victory at home. The players showed a proactive attitude towards the goal from the very beginning.
It would have been a perfect scenario if we could have scored additional points, but I believe it was a very significant victory for us.
We were able to win against a team that fights with a lot of spirit, like G Osaka, and I want to prepare thoroughly for the next match.

(As the match progressed, it seemed that the defensive line dropped deeper, but what was the intention?)
"As a result of being pressured by the opponent, we fell back."
In reality, there was a chance to score an additional goal at the start, but not being able to take that opportunity led to a situation where we became fatigued in our attack and the opponent seized the pace of the game.
Among those, we were able to create several chances with fast breaks, so if we could have capitalized on those, I think the outcome would have been different. I wanted to fight more aggressively in the first half.

(With consecutive wins, I think we can push forward even more)
"I believe the next match against Shimizu will be a very tough opponent, so I want to prepare thoroughly again."

(Since changing the midfield structure, results have been coming in, but regarding the sense of achievement)
"I feel a sense of achievement with each match."
I want to enhance our combination even more and continue to improve.

(Feeling the scent of goals more than ever, but regarding the sense of defense and offense)
"Two consecutive matches without conceding a goal gives us a strong sense of defense. With 5 goals in 2 matches, I feel that the team is currently in sync in both offense and defense."

(Advantages of having Uchida as a right back)
"The side back must be able to initiate plays for Tokyo's football to function, so with him in the right back position, we can attack effectively, and he is also responding very well in defense, which I believe brings a lot of dynamism to the right side."

《G Osaka - Masanobu MATSUNAMI Coach Press Conference Summary》
Regarding the fact that we ended with zero goals, there are still areas that need improvement, including the intensity in front of the goal and how we approach it.
I expected Tokyo to apply pressure after conceding a goal early on, but I think the inability to turn things around as a team led to the goal conceded.
Since then, there was a period of some unease, but we were able to move the ball a bit from the middle of the first half. There were opportunities to target behind the defense, but I think we had fewer chances to receive the ball just before targeting behind the four-back line.
I have the impression that there were many situations behind the defensive line, and we couldn't quite break through the defense that was waiting for us.

(The defense line, which was unstable at the start, seemed to have settled down, but what kind of instructions were given?)
"After all, there was a goal conceded early on.
With Sugano entering the defense line, it has become a slightly new defensive line. We definitely should not have conceded that goal, but I encouraged the players to maintain compactness while going for the ball and to pick up the second balls.

(The Tokyo defense line has become very deep, making it difficult to pass the ball even when holding it, but how should we score in such situations? I would like to ask Coach Matsunami, who was a striker)
"Against a retreating opponent, we need to have a quick attack after winning the ball, and in a situation where the defense line is dropped, we should incorporate one-touch passes with tempo, or even aggressively go for the second ball. If we don't try to break through there, just moving the ball won't create any fear for the opponent.
I think we need to organize the timing and space for when the cross balls come in, as there were several that came in.
