[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kyosuke TAGAWA"
"Although the score ended up being wide, there were also unfortunate goals that piled up in terms of content."
I think it's important to see how much the players on the front line can help the team when it's tough.
"Instead of feeling down after conceding the first goal, I want to build up enough strength to quickly take it back."

(After conceding a goal, player Tagawa quickly brought the ball to the center and showed an impressive attitude of running until the end to aim for a goal)
"I don't think it's just negative to see the challenges in how to break down the opponent's defense. I think we can prepare for the next game by focusing on those areas and training and imagining how to deal with it. I also want to develop the ability to make decisions."

(There will be a Hiroshima match soon and also national team activities, but looking ahead)
"Rather than losing here, I want to keep up the good momentum and practice with a good atmosphere. I want to be more aggressive."

"Takuya AOKI"
(I think there were elements of gain rather than just losing in the way we lost five games in a row)
"I think we are able to fight aggressively on our own compared to that time."

(Is there a difference between the two consecutive wins and today's match?)
"We didn't start off badly, but I feel like there are still areas where we can improve in our game plan after conceding."

(Although the last pass didn't connect, what I felt while playing was)
"We need to work together to improve our attacking strategy and timing when entering the area before taking a shot. We want to work on that and be able to take shots in a better way."

(Did the substitution of the side back due to an accident have an impact?)
"Both Uchida and Nakamura have different strengths, so we play each game with the awareness of utilizing those strengths."
"There was no special impact just because the players changed."

(Did the game plan fall apart after giving up the first goal?)
"I had the feeling that I didn't want to give up a goal first, but in soccer, there are also times when things don't go as planned."
"We want to improve our style of soccer and play better from there."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"Today, I think the Shimizu players had a stronger mental edge over Tokyo in terms of winning."
The start of the match was not bad, but we were pushed back on second balls and the timing of conceding goals in the beginning of the first half, towards the end of the first half, and at the start of the second half was not good. Additionally, the opponent was focused and fought until the end, making it difficult for us to break through their defense.
"We want to switch and prepare well for the next Hiroshima match."

"Shimizu Lotina Coach Press Conference Summary"
"It was basically a game where everything went well."
Against strong teams like Tokyo, we didn't give many chances in the defensive part. Also, we were lucky enough to score the first chance. From there, we scored two points with a CK and were able to maintain good defense without making any mistakes.
The team gained confidence by winning against a strong opponent in an important match, and I think the team realized that if they continue with good training, results will come.
"We have been playing well and preparing well, but we have been unable to win games, so I may have looked a little down, but I hope this victory will bring confidence to the team."

(Unlike before, what was good on the attacking side)
"We have had a clear plan for every game, but today's plan was even clearer and it worked well."
"I think the attack has been successful because we have been training for it, and the stability in defense is also a big factor."

(Evaluation of defense that ended with no goals conceded)
"Ending with no goals conceded is important, and if we can keep a clean sheet, our chances of winning will increase."
In the previous Sapporo match, we had a decisive chance and a feeling that we could take the lead, but we easily conceded a goal. When that happens, the game becomes difficult.
I think it's very important to keep the number of goals conceded to zero.
