"Kazuya KONNO Player"
"The shot from that dribble is my favorite form. I've been practicing it all the time."
"I am really happy to finally be able to score a goal."

(J1's first goal was an important goal in a crucial moment)
"I really wanted to win and I had a strong desire to contribute to the team this season, but unfortunately I suffered a major injury and wasn't able to do so."
I had a feeling of regret, and I wanted to finish the last two games with a good result no matter what.
I think that strong feeling led to today's score."

(In the past few games, we have had some tough matches, but what were our thoughts while playing?)
"I think these upcoming games will lead to next season, and even though we have had a change in coach and faced various challenges this season, we must strive to win as professionals."
"Since our fans and supporters came all the way to Hiroshima today, I was determined to win no matter what. I'm really glad we were able to win."

(Next will be the final match at home)
"I want to aggressively go forward and take many goals."
"I hope many fans and supporters will come to Ajinomoto Stadium to watch, so we can end this season with a victory."

"Takuya UCHIDA"
(He talked about how his desire to play in the game was the strongest, and he was able to start the game as he promised.)
"I was conscious of how much I could appeal in the limited time of this season, starting from my usual practice."
"The most important thing is how much you can express your desire to play in the game through practice. It was necessary to do so in order to play in the game, and I think that's why I was able to start today."

(Reflecting on my play today)
"There were scenes where I was broken down from my own position in corner kicks and defensive situations today."
There is a need for reflection, but on the other hand, it can also be seen as a positive that it could be a starting point in the attacking part, so I want to take that as a plus.
"I think it was good for both the team and myself to be able to win the game today."

(Got the result and the content in the game that came out for the first time in a while)
"It was a difficult situation both as a team and as an individual."
That's why it was important for the team to aim for victory. Winning the first game after returning was a huge confidence boost for the team, and we want to continue moving in a better direction from now on."

(As time passed, the feeling of the game returned)
"Since I had just returned, I couldn't grasp the feeling of the game at first."
Gradually, I was able to grasp it and enter the game. I want to prepare from practice again so that I can enter the game firmly from the start in the next game.

(About winning with the return of players who struggled this season)
"I understand well how much frustration Hotaka NAKAMURA and Kono players felt during their injury periods, as I have seen it myself. It was great that we were able to express that together today."

(Next Match Excitement)
"Final match, home game against Fukuoka. I want to fight with the team, including myself, and end the season with a victory."

"Adailton"
(The opening goal that sparked the comeback, what were your thoughts while playing?)
"It was a tough game in a situation where we couldn't seem to win, but in the end I was able to score a goal myself."
In the recent game, the team did not score any goals, but we were able to score a goal that brought momentum to the team and ultimately achieved a comeback victory. I think it was a victory that we won together.
"I want to share the joy with the fans and supporters in front of my home in the final game."

(During the match, I noticed the dedicated play of constantly moving forward)
"As a FW, there are times when the ball doesn't come even if I start moving, but that's just how it is."
"Among them, not only the goal scene, but also the result of believing that the ball will come and running, was able to take it to the finish line."

"Tokyo - Shinichi MORISHITA Coach Press Conference Summary"
"We were down 1 point at the restart, and I thought we might panic, but we started to play very well after the first 30 minutes. We were able to get more chances in front of the goal, and we were hoping to score a point in the second half and get into our rhythm. That's when Adailton scored a goal for us."
After that, it became this rhythm, and in the end, Konno scored a goal from his own style, which I think was an ideal development.

(What were the differences as a team from the previous match?)
"In the previous match, we lost 1-1 and in terms of mentality against Tokushima."
I think we were superior to the opponent in terms of ball control, shot blocking, and mental aspect today.
I think the greed for victory has changed since the last game.

(Kono player who scored the final goal and Uchida player who started as a right back, so I used players with few opportunities to play)
"I think I have to choose players who are preparing well from practice every day."
"I believe it is my job to trust and send out players like that onto the field, so I carefully assess and make decisions there."

(Evaluation of Takahagi)
"A truly reliable player who knows where the game is won and makes clever plays."
"One of the players I want to use in every game if they have 90 minutes of stamina."

(We talked about wanting to take the ball and move forward before the game, and it went according to plan.)
"After the first 30 minutes, good balls were supplied from Uchida on the right side, and in the second half, Aoki and Takahagi joined in to move the ball forward, which led to Adailton's goal. And I think it led to the final goal by Konno."

(The first victory as a coach, but the current feeling is)
"I am extremely happy."
However, since there is still one more game at home, my mind is currently occupied with that.

"Hiroshima, Manager Kentaro Sawada Press Conference Summary"
"We lost."
I thought we could score in a good way in the first half and wanted to keep it that way, but it wasn't that easy.
Although we were pushed back a little in the first half, there were no dangerous scenes, and we were able to push back a little in the second half, so I thought we could stay calm to some extent. However, we made mistakes and there were scenes where we thought "if we lose here, it will be tough", and we were caught in those moments.
"I realized once again that it's difficult to win without eliminating this gap."

(It felt like our focus was broken at the first goal)
"I was watching that moment, but I haven't been able to analyze the whole thing in detail yet. There are still some things that I can't say for sure, but I think you're right."
I think that the mistakes piled up under pressure from the opponent, and the defense was delayed in organizing the formation against the throw-in.
I think it was because there was a lot of time pushed in, or maybe it was just because the switch was slow, but I think I need to see it again to understand, but it's a fact that the preparation was slow.
