[Player/Coach Comments]

"Tsuyoshi WATANABE"
(How did you think about entering the game?)
"First of all, it was an important game to win."
"I was focused on the game and playing well from the start, as I believed it was important to not concede early goals from defense."

(The second goal in the second half was unexpected)
"We were being pushed back during that time, but as a defensive unit, we were thinking that if we could hold on, we could defend."
We lost because we were stripped with a one-two and conceded a second goal, and I think it's the responsibility of the entire team. It's frustrating that we couldn't defend that area as defenders. It would have been a good game if we had defended that area and ended with a 1-1 draw.
I think how to defend there will be important in the future battle.

(It was a goal from a set play, but looking back)
"Matsuda and Suzuki have been kicking good balls since practice."
I think the fact that I was able to score with the ball coming exactly as I intended is a result of my training.

(There were games where I started even during the away game period of the league, and games where I didn't, but the impact on today's play was)
"As a team, we had consecutive games, but there were also games where I didn't play."
I was thinking about how to contribute to the team when I felt frustrated and disappointed with myself.
Today, I had my own goal, but I couldn't lead the team to victory. In that sense, I haven't been able to produce results. Next, I definitely want to win and advance to the quarterfinals, and showcase my presence."

(For the second game)
"Sapporo is not a team that tries to defend and break through, as they are an attacking team."
I think our way of playing is to defend firmly when the opponent is attacking and then take advantage of their weaknesses. In that sense, in the second game, there will be times when we have to endure the opponent's attack, but it is also a chance to score, so it will be a difficult game, but we definitely want to win.

"Ryoya OGAWA"
(Looking back on the whole game)
"There were good moments and opportunities for shots. However, I felt once again that it becomes difficult as a game when we cannot score additional points, as Sapporo is also a team with attacking power."
We still have a little bit left to do. I think we need to focus on the moments where we conceded points and where we couldn't score additional points. We want to use the short time we have to connect to the next game with determination.

(What did you feel about your individual performance?)
"I don't think there were many opportunities for me to join in the attack."
I wanted to touch the ball a little more, and if I received the ball, I had to make a chance.
In terms of defense, PETROVIC's soccer as a coach is to come up with dribbles at high speed from the side. I don't think we were able to completely shut it down, so in the second game, we want to be conscious of not losing to the opponent in front of us.

(For the second game)
"Even with a 1-0 score, we can still go up."
We can't afford to give up points, so first of all, we want to start with a solid defense and then connect to a good attack. That's also our strength. We want to win firmly and move on to the next stage together."

"Player Keigo HIGASHI"
(What I was conscious of in order to score even though I came on as a substitute)
"It was a situation where both teams were trying to score the next goal in a 1-1 tie."
As a result of both teams going for the goal, we ended up losing it to the opponent. However, if we can win without conceding in the next 90 minutes, there won't be any problem. I believe that by overcoming such difficult situations, we can win this cup tournament, so I see this situation as an opportunity. Let's all overcome it and move on to the next stage."

(For the second match)
"Having an away goal is different from the league match."
On the contrary, we have to win the next game, so we know exactly what we have to do. In the previous playoff stage against Shonan, we also had to win and it made us feel positive.
"I want to play with that kind of feeling in the next game."

(How to fight in the next game)
"We have to win to move up, but of course there are times when we have to defend and endure in every game depending on how it unfolds. We can't always go all out, but we want to fight while making solid decisions on the pitch."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"

"Although we ultimately allowed a comeback, we were able to score one away goal."
I think we were able to achieve a result that will lead to something, but I don't think it will be easy to turn this situation around.
"From here, we will prepare for three days and aim to turn this situation around at home and advance to the next round."

(Match content)
"Compared to the previous league match, the content was not bad."
"However, I think we need to make the decisions we need to make, and I want to analyze the opponent more and prepare for the next game."

(For the second match at home)
"I think both teams have players who are not in perfect condition."
"We want to pick up energetic players and face the second game with a team that can fight."

"Sapporo Petrovic Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very tough game."
A tight schedule with 4 games in 10 days and many injured players.
It was a really difficult game, but the players showed their desire to win and fought hard, and as a result of giving their best, they were able to achieve victory.
However, we have only finished the first half with a victory. We need to produce results in the second game in order to advance. I want to prepare as much as possible for the next game."

(Chanathip was excluded from the team just before the start, but I can say the situation to some extent.)
"I got injured during warm-up. I haven't received a detailed report yet, but I personally think it will be difficult for me to play in the next game as well."
"It may take some time since it is the same place where I recently got injured."
