"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
"Last year, we couldn't score a single point.
But just the fact that the team wins, that alone makes me happy."

(Looking back on the scoring scene)
"I felt like a chance was coming and ran, but it was more like my body moved without thinking. In any case, I felt that the team needed another goal, so it was good that I was able to take it with my own goal."

(After scoring, I immediately went to the fans and supporters)
"It was great to be able to share the joy with the fans and supporters because the distance was close."

"The opponent had the ball for a long time, but there were also scenes where we were able to steal the ball and create chances. However, I wanted to increase those opportunities even more."

(The idea was to draw the opponent in to some extent and then aim for it.)
"Rather than drawing them in, the initial intention was to go and steal the ball. However, the opponent also had high technical skills, especially their central midfielder who was distributing high-quality balls from there. So, it became a form of putting pressure while compacting the center."

(There was also a scene where we could have scored the third goal)
"I think if we were able to score the third goal among the chances we had, we could have carried the game more easily. I knew that if we couldn't score the third goal, the opponent's momentum would increase in the late stages of the game, so I want to make that a future challenge."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"We were able to achieve a victory that met the expectations of many fans and supporters who came to Nagoya. Unlike Sapporo, it was very humid and the temperature was not high, making it a tough game."
I was able to concentrate until the end, but there was a scene where we could have scored the third goal. If we had taken it there, the game would have been decided. We conceded one goal due to a mistake, but we were able to calmly carry the game afterwards. It is a historic achievement to earn 3 points at Paloma Mizuho Stadium, and it gives confidence to the team."

(About how to play against a team with a 3-back)
"(The previous match against) Hiroshima was hot, and I wanted to go forward, but my body couldn't move. Because of that match, I was able to play aggressively in the next Sapporo match. I didn't expect the opponent to have a 3-back today, but I was able to respond properly. I was able to challenge what I couldn't do in the Hiroshima match. From now on, I want to be able to score against 3-back opponents as well."

(After starting the second half, Mita was brought in, expecting him to be involved in the two-top movement)
"I was also expecting him to be involved in the front line movement, but in the first half, Omori himself did well, but I think he could have done a little more. Mita can become a playmaker by calmly passing the ball in the attacking area. If the FW plus one more player doesn't get involved, it won't lead to goals. Nagai also made some plays by breaking through, and I think Mita was very good."

(Player Takahagi scored his first goal of the season, the first goal in two seasons)
"He is doing what he can do well. He has been involved in the attack many times but has not been able to score. Today, he scored well. I want him to face the future with confidence. He is very enthusiastic about shooting practice, and it paid off. I hope he continues to aim for goals in the future."

"Nagoya - Coach Yahiro Kazama Press Conference Summary"
"I think we played good football from the first half. It was a little disappointing to concede a goal there, but what was more painful was the goal we conceded when we were trying to step up our game in the second half."
However, there were players who played in unfamiliar positions today, and it was tough because the players couldn't gather easily, but I think we were able to create our own style and attack until the end. I've been saying it many times, but I think we need to somehow address the issue of the final precision."
