"I ran! It was hot!!... I'm so tired (laughs)."
　◈But a pleasant fatigue.

(About goals)
The aim as a team and the result of synergy coming to life.
　Until now, there have been times when I would run but the pass wouldn't come, but by not giving up and continuing, I think goals like today's are born.
　Now, if you run, the pass will come out and always aim for the opponent's back.

（Assist to Diego?)
At first, I thought about making a negative play, but Diego's eyes were pleading, "Give it to me here (at my feet)."
　So, I calculated the timing with the opponent's defender and waited a little for the near side to open up.
　In the midst of tough matches, if the attack ends halfway, it will result in a counterattack.

　There were difficult times today, but Diego and I are also conscious of "completing" the attack together.
　"Could it be that the shared consciousness of the two individuals is also increasing?"

"Kotaro OMORI"
"It's good that we are scoring goals now, but that doesn't mean we can afford to concede."
　I think it was another unnecessary goal conceded today.
　We want to reflect on that as a team and make improvements.

　Personally, I always try to fulfill what is expected of the team while showcasing my strong points.
　If you are a FW, it should be okay to play somewhat egotistically, but in the midfield, it is important to prioritize communication between the front and back, and to make use of each other's strengths.

(I had a chance to score in the first half, but?)
If I don't convert those kind of chances, I'll probably end up on the bench... (bitter smile).
　The goal is not to rush, but the game continues and there should be tough matches.
　I want to strive harder and have more ambition to be able to work precisely in such places.

(A "Happy Birthday Call" came from the stands?)
This was the first time something like this happened, and it was more embarrassing than "Wow, I'm happy"... (awkward
laughter).
　"I'm always happy when I can go home today because usually the games are on the 29th and I often stay at a hotel the night before my birthday..."

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA Coach's Press Conference"

"It was a really tough game, but the players worked really hard and we were able to win. Many fans and supporters came to watch the game."

I'm really glad that I was able to give a victory to the fans and supporters.
If we can win today's game, I told the players that the victory in the previous match will have an even greater significance and let them enter today's game.
We were able to maintain the lead from the beginning and also secure the third goal right after the start of the second half.
Ideally, it would have been the best outcome to win with a score of 3-1, but Nagoya's set plays were also powerful, so it was inevitable to concede 2 goals. However, I want to minimize the number of goals conceded as much as possible.
Today, Ota and Tanabe started for the first time in a while, and I think they did well with the given time. Maeda, Togashi, Higashi, and other players who came on later also closed the game firmly, so I think it was a very big victory.
Today, Hiroshima also won against Nagasaki, so the points gap doesn't narrow, but we want to fight firmly to keep up with the top team.

《Q&A》
Q=What is the evaluation of player Ryo NAGAI?
"I think he played incredibly well."
Perhaps his sense as a FW has returned by continuing to play in the FW position, even though he couldn't create opportunities during the camp.
The ball settles in front and he scores goals for us. He used to be more likely to pass in the final moments, but now he has become more aggressive in attacking towards the goal, so he has become a great power to lead the attack with Diego.

Q=What is the evaluation of player Morishige?
"I think my game sense is coming back by continuing to play in matches."
There was a period when he was away due to a minor injury, but he has brought himself into a condition where he can play in the matches, so he is doing well.

"Summary of Nagoya - Yahiro Kazama's press conference"

"I think the players did well overall. However, there were too many opponents on the pitch. That's all."
