≪Tokyo U-23 Tetsu NAGASAWA Manager Press Conference Summary≫

"We are grateful that Tokyo fans and supporters came to our match, which was held at the same time as the J1 match. I feel responsible for not being able to deliver a victory in such circumstances."

In the first half, we were able to possess the ball, but we couldn't move the ball in a way that would be threatening to the opponent, and we ended up conceding goals. I think we showed a bit of inexperience because the opponent was prepared for counterattacks while we were trying to attack.

In the second half, we organized ourselves and entered the game, but we couldn't convert our scoring opportunities and ended up conceding a goal instead. I also feel that we lacked concentration when it came to seizing one chance.

You cannot move on to the next step without experiencing it. However, just experiencing it is not enough to move on, so we pursued it rigorously in the locker room. In the next game, I want to show a fighting style that demonstrates a challenging attitude."
