"Kosuke OTA"
Q=Looking back on today's game
"Winning without conceding a goal gives us confidence, but it was also a game where we faced challenges."
It is difficult to match the team's condition to its peak at the opening game, and I think it is something that can be gradually improved while fighting. The team has definitely improved since it started, so I want to continue building on that. We will practice firmly in the remaining week and make the best preparations."

Q = Attacks from the side were noticeable, but "If we can hold the ball in a high position on the side, I think we will have more opportunities to participate in the attack. I am focused on creating scoring chances even with few opportunities, and I want to trust the players who come inside and send them the ball. However, my position is a defender, so the most important thing is to have a good defense. I am happy that we didn't concede any goals today."

Q=Looking back on today's game

"I think it was good for us to be able to finish the game without conceding any goals. I am satisfied that we were able to show what the coach asked for during the camp and what the players are trying to do in today's match."

Q=What were the aspects of the soccer that the coach was looking for in today's match? "Each player ran well and had a sense of unity in entering the defense. It's not just about individual performance, but I think we were able to come together as a team and fight to achieve good results."

Q=What is the feeling for leading the team as captain in today's match? "As captain, there are many things that I have to do not only during the match, but also outside of it. First, I want to show a proactive attitude through my play and communication, and lead the team."

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA's press conference" 

"Yokohama FM plays a possession-oriented football, similar to Barcelona, where the fullbacks move inside and create difficult positions for the Yokohama FM midfielders, especially PREMIST's Josip KUZE on the right side. The players struggled to adapt at first. Due to the lack of balance on the right side, they allowed the opponents to enter the box multiple times. However, as time went on, they improved. But they still need to work on not losing the ball immediately after winning it back. It was a tough game, but winning in the end is crucial for developing a winning mentality at home. Personally, I don't remember winning a preseason match before, so it's the first time for me to enter the season without any losses in the six games we played. This is all thanks to the players' determination to fight as a team. We still have areas to improve on, but we will continue to work on them in training. Urawa has even stronger individual players, so we will prepare for the opening game for a week and be ready."

"Q&A"

Q=What did you get from today's game?

"I don't think possession is everything. Even when we were under pressure, we were able to respond well in the end. I don't think a game like today's is always good, but I believe it's important to control the game while building a solid defense. Until the 30th minute of the first half, there were some dangerous moments, so we need to improve on that. As for the way we played in the second half, I think our defensive line was able to push up high. I'm not pessimistic about the way we played until we made substitutions in the second half. However, we were too hasty after winning the ball and lost possession many times, so we need to work on connecting our passes more securely."

Q=I think we couldn't create a rhythm at the defensive midfield position. "Although there were mistakes in today's game, if we are told that there were many mistakes in the previous games, it's not necessarily true. I think it's not just their fault, but there are also issues with the receiving players, so I want to watch the footage again and give feedback."

Q=What about the substitution of players Ota and Maruyama? "I tried using them in the preseason match. I knew that Maruyama could play as a left back, but I had never actually used him in a game before, so I wanted to try it out."

《Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary 

"We were able to stick to our style until the end and played solidly for 90 minutes. I think it was a good game for both teams."

"Q&A"

Q=What is the style that the coach talks about? "Although it's only been 3-4 weeks, the players have been working hard and trying to play dynamic soccer. I think there were a few moments like that in today's game, but we want to firmly incorporate it from now on."

Q=What is the most important thing you want to tighten up before the opening? "If we had scored the penalty, it would have been better, but we were able to create chances in other ways. The most important thing is to increase the players' understanding of tactics. If we can do that, I believe we can have a better development, create chances, and score goals."
