The opponent for the 2016 Meiji Yasuda J3 League 8th round at away NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium is Y.S.C.C. Yokohama, who have the same 5 points.

Tokyo's defense, like the previous match, is guarding the goal.
The DF line consists of YANAGI, YOSHIMOTO, OKAZAKI, and NOZAWA from right to left.
In the midfield, Sasaki and Yukino are at the bottom, Hiraoka is on the right, and YU is on the left. In the center, Hudson, who is making his first start in the J3 League as an overage player, is positioned.
The forward position will be taken by Muriqui, who will continue to play in the previous round and set up a 4-5-1 formation.
YS Yokohama also adopts the same 4-5-1 formation and prepares for the match.
The match, which became a perfect weather for soccer as the temperature rose, started with a kickoff in Tokyo.

【First Half】
The game started with a battle for control in the midfield, as both teams set up high defensive lines and compact formations. As time went on, Tokyo started to target the space behind the Yokohama DF line.
12 minutes in, Yukino turns forward in the center of the midfield, and Hiraoka times it well to make a run behind the right side and receive a through pass.
Hiraoka dribbles up vertically and connects with Muriqui, who has entered the near side, but he fails to control the ball and it is caught by the opposing goalkeeper.
Furthermore, at the 15th and 17th minutes, Yukino sent the ball to Muriqui who had run behind the opponent's defensive line, but it was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Tokyo, which is intensifying its offensive, saw Muriki receive the ball on the left side outside the midfield in the 22nd minute and engage in a one-on-one with the opposing defender.
Insoo YU times it perfectly and runs behind, but Muriqui supplies the final pass only for the opponent's goalkeeper to come out and catch it.
YS Yokohama is also threatening Tokyo's goal as they struggle to score.
25 minutes, Okazaki covers and prevents the breakthrough on the left side with a sliding tackle.
However, when YS Yokohama picks up the loose ball, they manage to surprise us a little by putting in a cross, but our defense quickly regains composure and deals with it.
Furthermore, in the 29th minute, it was expanded from the left side to the opposite side, allowing a shot from the cut-in.
This is saved by the crossbar, and it's a close call.
When this time zone passes, Tokyo will start creating rhythm again by receiving the ball from Ha DAESUNG and Yukino.
40 minutes, Hiraoka breaks through between two opponents on the right side with his natural speed and crosses the ball into the penalty area, but it doesn't connect with his teammate.
Muriqui, who came down to the midfield even in the 43rd minute, received the ball and connected it to Yanagi, who ran up the right side.
Yanagi chooses an early cross and sends the ball into the goal area, but it doesn't connect with his teammate either.
Approaching the goal, but leaving room for improvement in the final pass, the first half ends with a score of 0-0.

[Halftime]
Coach Yasuma's comment
"Let's support the front line quickly when we put the ball in. Defensively, let's make our marking clear. Keep trying and create one chance."

【Second half】
Both teams did not make any player substitutions and entered the second half.
Then, YS Yokohama started pressing aggressively from the beginning and began to take control of the game.
46-50 minutes, although allowing shots, the defense catches and prevents the goal from being scored.
Tokyo carries the ball forward but it becomes a one-off attack, and as a counterattack from YS Yokohama is received, the line gradually starts to drop.
Tokyo, waiting for a chance to counterattack, seized the opportunity in the 58th minute in the opponent's central area, as Insoo YU did not miss the opponent's mistake and handed the ball to Muriqui.
Muriqui approaches the goal from the center but fails to shoot and misses the chance.
As both teams struggle to find an attacking opportunity, the game continues with a period of patience until the 68th minute.
Muriqui expands on the right side and passes it to Hiraoka and Yanagi, who then entrust it to Yukino. However, Yukino's pass to Ha Daesung, who flowed into the penalty area, narrowly misses.
The 72nd minute saw a threat on goal from the left side. NOZAWA initiated the play and passed to Muriqui, who then cut inside and took a shot.
This is blocked by DF, but Yukino picks up the loose ball, evades the opposing DF and shoots with a well-aimed shot, but it flies straight into the face of the GK.
In the 74th minute immediately after approaching the goal, they were pressed from the left side and created a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.
When the defender jumped in to block, they ended up knocking down the opposing player, resulting in a penalty kick.
We were scored against by a goal from the left side.
Tokyo continues to inject Seichi and Uchida into the field one after another to strengthen their attack.
Furthermore, substitute Insoo YU, who was injured in contact with the opposing player, with Matsoka.
The biggest chance came to Tokyo, which intensified its attack, in the 85th minute scene.
Muriqui breaks through the opponent's defensive line and creates a one-on-one situation with the opponent's GK, but the opponent's GK makes a great save.
In addition, in the 88th minute, Yanagi, who was positioned on the right side after receiving the ball from Yoshimoto, passed it to Matsoka who jumped into the center of the goal with his left foot after a cutback.
Matsumura takes this and heads behind the opponent's defender, but once again, it is blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper's excellent defense.
In the last play of additional time 90+4 minutes, the goalkeeper joined the attack on the left corner kick.
Yoshimoto, who was positioned near the near side, received Yukino's kick and attempted a volley shot on the loose ball, but it went well above the frame at the moment the time was up.
Lost the game 0-1

Thank you very much for your passionate support for FC Tokyo U-23 today.
Thank you for your continued warm support.

[Summary of Manager Yasuma's Press Conference]
I would like to express my gratitude to the fans and supporters who came to support the U-23 team before the Shonan match in the hot weather.
Regarding the game, during halftime, the players understood that the opponent's attacks were coming from behind the defensive line and causing some confusion, so they discussed the need to communicate well in order to seize the opportunity. In terms of the game, they were confirming where to score the first goal from the 0-0 situation. However, they unfortunately gave away a penalty due to impatience, and I hope they can learn from this experience and use it in the future. As for the offense, they are able to exploit the space behind the opponent's high defensive line, but there were instances where the pass from Hirayama to Muriqui was slightly off, preventing them from scoring, and the number of shots is not increasing, so the final precision is definitely a challenge. Therefore, they want to improve the quality by repeatedly training to reproduce the same feeling as in the game. They believe that this will lead to a solid victory and will also be a response to the fans and supporters who come to the stadium despite the simultaneous J1 league matches. They want to turn today's experience into a catalyst for improvement and continue to make daily efforts."

【Player Comment】
《Ha DAESUNG》
"(What was it like playing with Insoo YU?) It was my first time playing with Insoo YU, and although there were some differences, we were able to resolve them by communicating during the game."
(How was the coordination with other players?) There were times when demands were made on me by younger players, and there were also times when I made demands on younger players, but we were able to progress the game with a relationship where we could make demands on each other during halftime. (How about your condition?) In some J1 matches, I was in a situation where I played or couldn't play repeatedly, so I played in today's match with the feeling of my own game and including the condition aspect, thinking that I have to improve myself.
