Kensuke NAGAI
(It was expected that utilizing space and speed would be effective)
"I thought that if I took action, the opponent's defense line would try to stop it, so I aimed for the timing when the line stopped and Diego OLIVEIRA and other players moved forward. I thought that if I could penetrate behind, it would be a chance, so I focused on the quality of the cross ball, and in the end, Leandro successfully scored. I was worried that it would be difficult if we didn't convert the few chances we had, so I'm glad."

(First starting appearance of the season. Thoughts on the play)
"I tried to give my all until the end. I wasn't in the condition to play for such a long time, so I tried to help the team."

(The stadium that had a bitter experience in the final match of last season. What kind of thoughts?)
"In the previous match, I was also frustrated watching from the stands, and it was a game where our team's strengths didn't come out easily. The theme for today is to go back to the basics and play with heartfelt effort. We lost to Yokohama FM last time, so we are determined to win and play."

Leandro player
(What was the aim of the goal with FK?)
"The wall was low, so I could see the course to the goal. I think luck was also involved."

(Looking back at the team's third goal)
"I could see that Nagai was breaking free on the side, so I entered the area thinking that a pass would surely come. A fantastic ball came and I was able to score a goal, which was great and made me really happy."

(Played mainly on the left side after entering the game in the middle of the first half. Although I received quite a few fouls, I was aiming to take set plays or was it because Yokohama FM was pressing hard?)
"I think it was both, there were also moments where I kept the ball and drew fouls. Yokohama FM's defense was intense, but I was able to progress the game well, so it was good."

"I knew it would be a tough match."
There was also a defeat in the previous match, so we were conscious of the start of today's game, but we ended up conceding the first goal.
However, the difference from the previous match is that we were able to switch gears and play aggressively after being scored against, and we were able to catch up early in the game.
I think they approached the game with a strong mentality of rebounding.
Also, it was very reassuring that Ryo Nagai came back.
He played a crucial role both in attack and defense, and today I was able to once again recognize the significance of his presence.
We expect you to continue to perform well and make up for what has happened so far.
Everyone started the game strong and despite experiencing leg cramps towards the end, Morishige led the team and continued to shout until the end. In the previous match, he was involved in conceding a goal with an uncharacteristic play, but today he showed a very strong presence.

(I think Nagai will make an early return, but there are concerns)
"I talked to the doctor and he said that if I don't play in official matches, I won't be able to return to my original condition. At first, the injury had a strong impact, but in the past few weeks, I have been improving a lot, so in the end, I had to participate in such a tough match and decided to use him."
I think the person himself has become less scared because he has become able to use his arms quite a bit even during practice.

(Looking back on today's battle, despite losing to Yokohama FM in the final match of last season)
"Considering how to make use of Nagai's driving force, the key point today was Tagawa. In the end, there were moments when we caught up to a tie, and Tagawa jumped out in a good form. In the past few matches, the team as a whole has not been able to provide the driving force towards the back, so Tagawa and Nagai have pulled us in that direction in a good form."
Regarding the system, we have been preparing while considering whether to have one or two defensive midfielders, knowing who our opponents will be after the restart and anticipating the absence of Genjin. Each midfield configuration has its own strengths, so we want to use them effectively while making adjustments.

(Hotaka NAKAMURA player fought hard)
"We have consecutive matches, so we need to rotate the players well. Last match was a bitter experience, but we can't fight through consecutive matches without utilizing Hotaka well. I was watching to see how far he could go today, and his strengths were evident as the game progressed. We hope for further improvement and success. It was significant for the team that he played the full 90 minutes."

(Regarding the intention behind the substitution of 5 players)
"I wanted to give more playing time to Kousuke, but we have been playing back-to-back matches and Yokohama FM is also a tough opponent."
Joan OUMARI understood it well and performed well in the practice match, so I wanted to use him in one of the three consecutive matches. It was also significant for the team that we were able to use him today."

"Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary"
"We lost, but I think we were able to control the game and it was a good game. We were caught off guard by fast attacks and set plays, but we were able to create many chances. Overall, I feel it was a good game."

(There was an impression that the defense had a hard time against Tokyo's attack, but please evaluate the defense)
"I think there were areas where we could have done better, but the opponent had strong individual players. Rather than the defense, the failure was not being able to take advantage of the chances and score goals."

(Nakagawa, who started two consecutive games, is on the bench. As a coach, do you feel the difficulty of not being able to form the best team?)
"After the restart, there have been many injuries in various teams. I want to protect the players from getting injured. I also have a strong desire to compete in the long season in the best condition, so I made this decision."
