《Adailton》
(I was suddenly called to play due to Nagai's accident, and at that moment I thought)
"The bench members are always prepared to play and are constantly thinking about what they can do."

(Sudden appearance and 2 goals. Reflecting on the match)
"We lost the first match, and the second match was in a tough situation. Personally, I thought about contributing to the team by scoring goals as I approached the match. In the end, I was very happy to be able to score and lead us to victory."

(The combination with Leandro and Diego was wonderful)
"We haven't played together for a long time, but today we were able to play together again, and I felt that communication was easy.
"I'm glad that all three of us were able to score today, and it was a result that made everyone happy."

(Enthusiasm for the Levain Cup Prime Stage)
"Although the opponent has not been decided yet, I want to defeat the next opponent and advance to the Final Round. I want to push forward towards winning the title."

(Although the results had not been coming, what I focused on for this match)
"The Emperor's Cup ended in a disappointing result, and I was down, but I approached this match with a strong determination to win and advance to the next stage. I believe that led to today's result."

《Keigo HIGASHI》
"It was a match where we wanted to take the lead in the second game, which we entered with a score of 0-1. Given the clear situation that we couldn't advance to the next stage without scoring, I believe that our positive mindset to continue fighting from the start with the possibility of turning the game around led to today's victory."


(It was an intense battle for the ball)
"This is common in soccer; you have to compete for the ball regardless of the opponent in the fundamental aspects of the game."
Especially Shonan is a strong team in terms of ball contests and quick in both offense and defense, so I thought that if we fell behind in that aspect, we would lose control of the match.
I think we were able to fight while skillfully negotiating those aspects.

(It was a decisive victory, but how did we psychologically overcome it?)
"Last week, we lost in the Emperor's Cup, and as a team, we faced a very difficult situation coming into today's match. We lost the first leg at home in Komazawa 0-1, but today we had a clear task to score, and I believe that awareness pushed the team forward. I think that when Tokyo is strong, there is a strong consciousness to move forward, so I believe that aspect was well drawn out today.
We need to enter the next league match with the same intensity, and I think the opponent will dislike today's football, so I want to continue this kind of battle.

(Advancing to the prime stage has likely boosted the team's confidence)
"Of course, winning builds the team's confidence, but there are still many areas for improvement, and personally, I can still do more. I believe that if each of us becomes more aware, things will get better."
I want to elevate myself and others even further.

(I think today was a big victory)
"The team is struggling with a disappointing ranking, but I believe that something will trigger improvement for the team, and I hope today's match can be that turning point."
As I mentioned earlier, we need to do much more to compete in the J1 League. I want to take it step by step so that we can rise even higher from here.

(How Adailton felt after scoring the opening goal)
"We had to score at least two goals to advance to the next stage, so I think everyone played with that mindset, regardless of who was on the field, and that contributed to today's battle."
You have to score goals in the league, and just defending won't lead to victory.
"Since this is a situation drawn from a home and away battle like today, I want to continue this way of fighting in the league as well."

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
The players showed great spirit and played an excellent match.
I want to prepare so that we can advance firmly to the next stage, and I hope to carry this momentum into the league matches.

(The foreign players have regained their form, but how do you see the team's condition?)
"We have been in a situation where we couldn't score just one more step, so we have been working on fine-tuning that last step in preparation for this match.
Today, I think Leandro's goal set the tone, and the Brazilian players were involved in a good way, allowing us to score in a style typical of Tokyo. I want to prepare to carry this into the league matches.

(I think we focused on scoring today, but the shape we aimed for was)
"The first goal was from Diego's hold-up play to Leandro. The second goal was from Leandro's through pass to Diego. We had similar situations last time, but in the first match, we were blocked by the Shonan players' committed play. Today, we entered the match with the mindset of first getting one goal back, and each of us brought it to a good finish and scored."

(Kashif BANGNAGANDE's evaluation)
"I think he played very well today as well."
They really played without anything to say about today.

(After losing the Emperor's Cup, what kind of encouragement did we give for today's match)
"I felt that as a team we had come to the brink of success. We were always discussing how we could take that final step as a team."
We have been discussing such topics in meetings, so I think the finishing accuracy was very high today.
We have been able to create quite a shape, so I am wondering how much we can improve the quality.

《Shonan - Bin UKISHIMA Coach Press Conference Summary》
"Before the match, we confirmed that we needed to have the mindset of going for the win without being passive, and we had to positively forget about the previous game where we won 1-0."
However, the result was that in the first half, we dropped too deep without applying pressure on the ball, leading to goals conceded from plays initiated in our half. I believe all three goals were conceded because we failed to execute the defense we should have.
In the second half, after falling behind, I think we were able to play with our aggression once again and gave it our all, but we still couldn't score and ended up conceding more goals.
I think it was a complete defeat game.

(Today's defeat was due to)
"From the start, both in terms of ball contests and the second reactions after going vertical, we were incredibly aggressive compared to the previous match and the league games against Tokyo. We needed to have the mindset to bounce back from that, but we were overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum at the beginning, which was the main reason for our defeat."
