"Yuto NAGATOMO"
(The Japan national team returned from the away match against Oman on the 16th and played a match after only 3 days of rest. Regarding their own condition and performance, they said)
"When you play in a match, you can't use your condition as an excuse. The fact that we couldn't win is everything."
"It's really frustrating not being able to win at home with the support of many fans and supporters, and not being able to contribute to the victory myself. It's a disappointing feeling."

(Although we were unable to create opportunities while being shaken in the first half, we couldn't make it work.
"The lack of coordination in our pressing and the inability to defend with good distance were the main factors. Also, we were unable to make simple transitions after losing the ball, so I think that's why we were pushed back."

(What kind of fight do you want to have as a professional in a situation where there is no championship, ACL zone, or relegation?)
"As for where the motivation comes from, I think each player is being tested by the fact that they love this team, want to win with this team, and are proud of it."
Everyone, including myself, must have the desire to win with high motivation in this team. Even after losing 0-8, they welcomed us with applause and many people supported us until the end. Many children were also here today, and we must deliver gratitude and dreams to them. We must not forget our motivation for that.

(What Coach Morishita has prepared)
"I went to the national team myself and joined for only one day to face today's match. Not only in practice, but also in meetings, I confirmed and could only do the minimum, but it is difficult to embody everything in this short period of time."
I think the reason for the defeat was that we couldn't determine how to press from the front and how to work together as a team to take the opponent's ball.
I think it's being tested how strong of a feeling you can fight with in a difficult motivation.

(What is the wall that Tokyo is facing?)
"Not only the team, but first of all, I myself have not been able to contribute to victory."
"As a veteran with experience, I feel responsible for not being able to lead the team and I need to do more and more."

"Shuto ABE"
(Today's match, areas where things didn't go well)
"We came in with the mindset of playing with high motivation from the start, but our start wasn't good and we were pushed back, making mistakes and creating a negative atmosphere among the players."
There are mistakes in soccer. I felt that the problem was not being able to switch from there.

(The first half was an impression that the ball was not being taken away)
"I think that's right. Even though we were putting pressure on, we couldn't catch them and they were able to spread out to the sides. There were also times when there was a gap between the midfield and the back line, making it difficult to slide and cover."
There were many scenes where we were pushed from behind, so we need to communicate and discuss who will come out in order to create opportunities and avoid being overwhelmed.
"I think that if there is no communication or consideration from the players, the team will not function properly."

(Last 2 games, what do you think you are being asked for?)
"0-8 in the previous round and 0-2 today. We haven't been able to grow as individuals or as a team."
We have two more games left, so we need to secure points and focus on the results. We have to keep playing with determination.

(In the second half, after player Nagai entered the game, the ball started moving and led to player Abe's PK acquisition, but in order to increase that kind of time, it is necessary to kick the ball forward, leave it to the two players on the front line, and cut through, and there were many instances where the ball was kicked even in situations where it should have been passed.)
"We kicked the ball forward and left it to the two players on the front line, but we ended up getting cut off, and there were also many instances where we kicked the ball even in situations where we should have connected."
We need to value the ball more and control the pace of the game. We also need to aim for the back and make diagonal passes, otherwise the opponent won't be afraid and we won't be able to break through.
"We need each individual to take a better position and play in a coordinated manner, otherwise the game will become difficult."

(I think there have been scenes where Brazilian players have somehow managed to do something in the past)
"Today's game was more like just kicking it around carelessly, or relying too much on foreign players."
I think there was a deliberate intention to drop the ball into the space and run into it.
Today, it was a feeling of wanting to kick around casually. If the intentions of the passer and receiver do not match, it will not go well. When kicking the ball, it ends up being taken away by the opponent.

"Tokyo - Shinichi MORISHITA Coach Press Conference Summary"
"We were unable to win duels against Tokushima's pressure from the first half, and as a result, they took control of the game with a 0-2 score."
I couldn't prepare in a short period of time. However, in the second half, I changed players and was able to bring back the flow a little, but I think the players weren't moving as much as I wanted.
The next two games will be difficult, but I believe we must prepare players who can fight in this situation.

(What preparations did you make and why couldn't you bring them out?)
"First, we organized our defense and tried to regulate from the front line, aiming for quick attacks by taking the ball in good places, but the defense from the front line didn't quite work out and we ended up getting dragged in."
The overall amount of exercise was also low. We were unable to compact it.

(Overall, it looked like we were struggling and unable to handle the pressure)
"But by changing the two players up front at the start of the second half, our defense became more aggressive and we were able to intercept and launch attacks, which led to us earning a penalty kick."
I think that is the original form of Tokyo, so I am thinking of replacing players and somehow bringing back the previous performance.

(Reflection and improvement points for the remaining 2 games)
"First of all, we have to win the duels. I think the key is to make the ball ours, so we want to select players who can fight, run, and switch properly. I think this is a really tough time, so I want to choose players like that."

"Tokushima - Coach Daniel POYATOS Press Conference Summary"
"First of all, we are truly grateful for the many fans and supporters who have come from Tokushima Prefecture."
First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude.
Truly became a strength for the team. And I am also grateful to everyone who supported us through DAZN.
I think we played a good game overall and were able to control the game while keeping possession against a great opponent like Tokyo.
The difficult situation continues towards remaining, but I want to continue fighting like today.

(When defending, [4-4-2] like, [4-5-1] like. What interpretation should be made?)
"Rather than the system, it is important to think about how to defend the space."
We have discussed and prepared to defend considering the space and the opponent's characteristics.
"I think we were able to recognize ourselves as a team and play good defense."

(2 more games, please give us a message)
"I think that if we can fight together with the fans and supporters, it will become one power and we can fight. I want to continue fighting together."
