"Ryoma WATANABE"
(What I felt when I entered the pitch)
"Honestly, I couldn't get into the game at first because it had been a long time since I felt this sensation."
As time passed, I remembered the feeling and my body got used to it, but I still felt that adjustments were necessary.
"I want to gradually build up so that I can achieve results."

(What I was conscious of during the play)
"Of course, first and foremost, catching up to a tie."
"I had the desire to contribute to the team by showing my strengths, but it didn't go well and I also made some easy mistakes, so I need to reflect on it."

(How we have been adjusting until today, including training matches)
"I was training with everyone, but at first it was all I could do to keep up."
"I have been able to come this far by adding extra training on my own, but I still feel that there are many areas that are lacking. I want to continue to improve my condition."

(What I am conscious of while playing on the right side)
"(At the stage where I am organizing my play, such as when to enter the center and when to open up to the outside, while talking with the coach.)
There are also parts that refer to Tokyo player's play in particular. I am organizing what is necessary to bring out my strengths in addition, so I want to sharpen it more in the future."

(About the cooperation with right back Ogawa and Suzuki)
"We started playing together recently, so we don't have many opportunities to practice together yet."
There are some parts that I am gradually grasping, and I also want to play while utilizing their strengths.
I think we are gradually able to play well in a fluid manner during the game.

"Keigo Higashi"
"It's really disappointing that we couldn't win the game, but we can think positively about the content and these things happen in a long season."
It is important to use today's game to our advantage and we have been able to put up a good fight even away from home. I think it is important to continue with confidence.

(Difficult parts of Tosu's fighting style)
"I thought our positioning and tactical understanding as a team was high. There were also scenes where we were beaten by the opponent, but there were also times when we intentionally took the ball back in response to the opponent. We were able to fight while talking with everyone and making adjustments during the game."
I think the next Sapporo team will also fight with a unique system, but I have a good image of them.
"Today, as a team, we were unable to score a goal, so we want to challenge ourselves in that area."

(Expecting a great performance from Higashi in the goal)
"I personally think that every game is a chance to showcase my skills. I am not guaranteed a spot in the starting lineup, so I always play with a sense of urgency, knowing that I have to perform well as an individual by scoring goals and making assists in every game."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"In the end, Tosu took the lead and we were unable to score."
I think there were scenes where we were able to bring the ball to the shooting area in a good way in terms of content.
Of course, it is important to continue building on this, but when it comes to the competitive aspect, we need to pay attention to the finer details. We conceded goals due to smart plays from the opponent during our build-up, and it truly became a game of "this is football".

(I think the content was not bad, but how can we improve the quality for the next time?)
"I think we played a very tight game compared to the loss at home in the first half, but we have to beat the top teams in these kinds of games to move up."
"The tough battle will continue from now on, but I think it will become a game of whether we can score or prevent one in such a situation."

(I think we were able to make powerful attacks towards the end of the game)
"Today, players like Tagawa were not in the starting lineup, but I think it will be crucial whether the players who came on as substitutes can score."
"Especially in summer matches, it becomes an all-out battle in the end, so players who can score in these intense situations will become necessary in the future."

(The improvement strategy in a situation where the opponent takes the lead, like today)
"I think we just have to keep doing it."
Today, the opposing player was putting their body on the line until the very end.
However, in the first half, there were several scenes where Adailton came close to scoring and Ogawa was able to create a good opportunity for a shot and could have taken the lead. I feel that we need to be able to score from the side when the opponent tightens up the middle.
I am patiently aiming for a good cross from the side and also feel that a mid-range shot is a challenge.
"Many players are working hard from practice, and we want to make sure we can score when the opponent is pushing hard at the end."

"Summary of Tosu Coach Hiroichiro Katsumi's Press Conference"
"I am happy to be able to deliver 3 points to over 8,000 supporters today."
In addition, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being able to send Hayashi Daichi (from Tosu to Sint-Truiden) in a good shape, the efforts of all players, and the atmosphere created by the supporters.
The game was very good in terms of being able to score as planned in the first half. However, we made a few mistakes that we should not have made, and those mistakes allowed the other team to bring out their power, making it difficult for us to find our rhythm. In the second half, we made adjustments to our defense. By making slight changes to our positioning and approach, we were able to stabilize, but it also led to us not being able to bring out the same power as before.
However, we were somewhat prepared for that, so I appreciate everyone for enduring it well. I also want to acknowledge that we were able to keep a clean sheet and ultimately earn 3 points.
However, this is not the ideal game content, so I think it is necessary to continue to make efforts to bring it closer to the ideal form.

(The previous match was a situation where we were caught up after leading, but today we succeeded in escaping. What we made the defense aware of in the second half was)
"First of all, we set a line to put pressure on and prevent an open game."
"By giving the opponent space, it will increase the individual strength of Tokyo, so in order to compact that, we lower the line to a certain extent and then respond persistently. I think we were able to do well by dividing the center with more people."
