【Player/Coach Comments】

"Kotaro OMORI"
"I think we were able to play our football throughout the match, and we didn't allow many dangerous situations. I think we had a good game."
I thought it was a point that we could take advantage of the opponent's unconventional positioning and attack Tokyo when we had the chance. Throughout the game, it was good that everyone was able to move in sync to exploit gaps such as behind the opponent or in the midfield space when we were able to steal the ball.

(I was playing by changing positions from the second half)
"I was conscious of creating a good shape with Ota. I often enter on the left side in practice, so I have many strengths in that area. Takahagi also came to the side and moved the ball, so I was able to play with a very good image."

(Were you conscious of putting an accent on the attack?)
"I was conscious of taking the opponent's unfavorable position. In defense, I was conscious of switching quickly and putting pressure on the ball."

(Did you have a strong feeling because you lost away?)
"Since we had already lost to them once, we approached the match with the determination not to lose again."

(How is the team feeling?)
"I think we are highly motivated and in a very good flow because we were able to win today."

(Please look back on the scene where you assisted)
"I lifted a cross ball with an inswing from the left side, and it was in my favorite position. I knew that Jael, a target, would be there, and Na SANGHO would also jump into the goal area, so I was able to show my favorite style."

(It was a wonderful cross that the opponent's GK couldn't touch)
"I have been practicing to be able to deliver such cross balls, so I want to continue to be able to deliver good balls in the future."

(There were scenes where he aimed for his own goal)
"I hope I can show more power in the attacking aspect."

(This is the second consecutive assist in an official match)
"Certainly, that's true, but I'm not really conscious of it. Regardless of such things, I want to assist even more and prepare well for the next match."

Diego OLIVEIRA
(Looking back at the scene of the goal)
"A good pass came from Jael. Although the control position and timing were off, I was able to connect it to a goal in the end, so it was good."

(Regarding compatibility with Jael)
"I think we have built a good relationship. Communication is easy and I believe we can play while being aware of each other on the pitch."

(It was a match against my former team, Kashiwa)
"There are many players that I used to play with in Kashiwa, and I have respect for them. However, there is no change in the competitiveness, so I am really glad that we were able to win."

(It was the 5th consecutive goal.)
"Now, I am in a very good condition and I want to continue practicing to maintain this state. I also think that each individual in the team is able to fight firmly."


"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I am grateful for the many supporters who came to cheer us on in the rain. I believe the players understood the importance of today's match and fought hard."
Kashiwa also conveyed their determination to play in this match by placing the forward players on the bench despite having only two days of rest. I think they fought until the end. We want to fight hard in the remaining two matches and advance to the qualifiers.

(What is the status of Muroya's injury?)
"We don't know the details at the moment."

(We were reversed in the last match. What is the image of closing today's game?)
"We knew that Kashiwa would change their front line by three, and with Muroya's injury, we couldn't cut one of our attacking cards, but since it's a home game, we decided to cut the card and continue to fight with a winning and attacking attitude until the end."

(Started player Kelly as a midfielder for the first time. What is your evaluation?)
"Considering the long league season, this tournament is important.
Among them, it is a significant achievement to be able to start with Trasta as a defensive midfielder and win, rather than starting from the middle.
Of course, there is absolutely no problem in terms of attacking, but I entered the game today while confirming the details of defense. I would like to give feedback on the details while watching the footage."

"Summary of Kashiwa NELSINHO Coach's Press Conference"
"I think it was a very close game."
When looking back on the match, there were times when we were dominant and of course, there were also times when the opponent had such periods. I think we were able to execute the game plan we had planned for the first half.
However, we were unable to create a good opportunity to switch from the build-up to the attack. I think we lacked a bit of brilliance in the quality of the build-up.
We entered the second half of the game with the intention of dominating the game just like in the first half, but as a result, we conceded two goals, all of which I believe were due to our own mistakes.
When we reviewed the entire match, we were able to possess the ball, but I think today's performance was a game that we lost to ourselves.
Among them, I think it is positive for the team to give young players the opportunity to play in official matches, so I want to continue making improvements and prepare for the next match.
