《Junya SUZUKI》
"The coach told me to come and that this is where it starts.
I was relatively calm and was able to enter the match while organizing my role while observing the game situation.
I think I was able to enter the match more calmly than I expected.

(We were able to defend well while the opponent was attacking from the sides)
"In the second half, there were many scenes where the opponent broke through from the sides."
When I entered the game, I thought I should properly respond to vertical breakthroughs and inswing crosses.
I think it was good that there were moments that led to a quick attack from our side at the end.

(I think the overall defensive performance was good, but the feeling is)
"My strengths are in one-on-one situations and defending on the right side, and I believe I was able to showcase those strengths several times. I feel confident in that aspect.
Today, both we and our opponents made many mistakes during this period of play.
I think that in order to bring this out when we start, daily practice and coordination with teammates will become important from now on.

(It has been two weeks since joining, and I am gradually getting used to the team)
"There are parts where I have been able to understand my teammates, but in the last cross situation in the second half, I aimed as intended, but my teammates wanted it more towards the center.
There are still many areas where alignment is lacking, and there are aspects that can only be adjusted through actual practice.
I want to communicate properly in the future and improve even more.

(Is there a next goal?)
"My goal is to start in the lineup and take the position."
However, it becomes more important to leave results based on the time and opportunities given, and today was such a situation.
It is important to play in a way that leads the team to victory with results that connect to goals, so I want to focus more on each individual play.

Masato MORISHIGE
(Regarding today's results)
"It was a match we wanted to win"

(Although we were temporarily overtaken, we did not collapse from there and regained our composure)
"In any case, I was conscious of fighting patiently without giving up. Since both teams were in a war of attrition due to the heat, if we stayed compact and did not break down, we could take advantage of a chance like Leandro did today."
Although conceding 3 goals was not good, I think we can appreciate that we were able to catch up.

(The evaluation regarding the end of the winning streak without conceding any goals)
"Today, conceding 3 goals was everything. I hope we can review and eliminate conceding goals in the next match."

(Towards the second half of the season)
"The most important thing is daily preparation. I want to head into the next match without neglecting my preparation."

Leandro
I was happy to score a goal, but the result was very disappointing.
It was a match where we led by two goals until the first half, but we were once turned around.
I'm just glad that we were able to catch up somehow.

(Reflecting on the scene of the third free kick)
"First of all, I want to thank God for being able to score this goal."
Before kicking, I looked at the opponent GK's position, and after that, I only knew the moment it went into the goal.
Regarding free kicks, Coach Morishita has always been instructing during practice, and I believe the results have clearly shown.

(How do you want to connect this point to the next?)
"Results like today are common in football, and I think it's something that can't be helped."
First, I want to take a good rest during this break period and prepare for the battles after the resumption.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
If we could have scored one more goal in the first half, I think the second half would have played out differently. The start of the second half was very poor.
Although we conceded two goals from crosses from the side, it was clear that if we conceded a goal in the second half in that manner, the home team would gain momentum.
I think we needed to start the second half of the match more solidly, but after being turned around once, I don't think it's a bad thing that we managed to equalize and ultimately secured one point away. I want to make sure we prepare for the restart after the break.

(In the second half, the opponent fought using width, but regarding the response)
"In the first half, I think the opponent focused more on playing at their feet, but in the second half, they adopted a simpler approach by delivering crosses from the sides. I believe we struggled to respond adequately to an opponent that changed their style completely between the first and second halves. Conceding two goals in a similar manner indicates that there were still areas where we were lacking."

(Evaluation of each substitute member)
"I was considering using them today while observing the situation, as they were in very good condition."
Today in Osaka, the match is taking place in extremely humid conditions with a high temperature of 36 degrees, and I thought that obviously, we couldn't fight with just the starting 11.
In that sense, I think the players who came on in the second half brought energy to the team.

《C Osaka - Levir CULPI Coach Press Conference Summary》
"Today's match was a challenging game for those with weak hearts, but I believe it was very enjoyable for soccer fans."
Looking back over the match, I feel that both teams fought with the aim of victory, so it was a fair result.

(It was a match where both teams showed their strengths, but regarding the ability to score multiple goals and the high number of goals conceded)
"Honestly, it's difficult to pinpoint just one reason for conceding to the opponent's quick counterattacks.
Just as there are moments in a boxing match when you don't understand what happened after receiving a counterpunch, our courageous attack led to a fast break for the opposing team, resulting in goals for both sides.
Today, both teams fought for a total of 6 goals, showcasing both defensive mistakes and the attacking strengths.
I believe we should focus on the strengths of the attacking side being showcased.
I believe that the players have always been striving for performances like today, but I think the accumulation of efforts to improve precision while encouraging each other led to today's result.

(There was momentum in the second half, but what was discussed at halftime?)
"I don't think any special instructions were given."
The players who came in during the second half made solid plays that changed the flow of the game. I think it was significant that the players who started in the first half talked about trying to bring out their quality more as they approached the second half. It's disappointing that we ultimately couldn't win, but I believe we can consider it a match with a sense of achievement.
