"Shuto ABE"
"I am genuinely happy that we were able to win 3-0 in the end, and two of those goals were mine."

(Today's game was a one-shot battle, but I felt a different kind of pressure than usual)
"It was a game that we had to win, but I was able to approach the game just like any other league match."
"Also, I think our good start in the first half allowed us to play Tokyo-style football and led to victory."

(I think both goals were scored with the power of running)
"I wanted to score myself, so I couldn't score without running into the goal."
Among them, both times I ran into the goal, the ball came to me, so all I had to do was put it in. I want to thank my teammates."

(Regarding the point of being able to contribute to the team as visible results)
"Since players Hashimoto and Higashi were gone, there have been many games that the team couldn't win, and I also felt responsible myself."
However, I was able to score goals in J1 and also score goals today, with the desire to gradually demonstrate my strengths.
"It is important for me to lead the team even without these two players, and I want to continue playing with responsibility and being involved in scoring."

(It seems that the relationship between the three midfielders is maturing)
"Player Takahagi actively gives me instructions."
I find it easy to play myself, and when I'm in trouble with my play, I ask Takahagi for advice and receive it.
I think the midfield is working well with Yojiro TAKAHAGI as the center, Arthur SILVA, and myself. I want to continue to improve our collaboration as a trio and play even better in the future."

"Adailton"
(Looking back on the match)
"I thought it would be a very difficult match, but I'm glad that we fought as a team and were able to grasp victory, and move on to the next stage."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I don't remember much about the goal scene, but I was able to steal the ball from the opponent's defender and dribble it."
I think I was able to calm down and put it into the goal, and I think it's because I've been practicing shooting regularly, so I think that's the result."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was very good that we were able to take the lead in a good way. We were able to score additional points in the second half in an ideal way, and we were also able to score a final decisive goal. I think the players did well."

(Shuto ABE scored 2 goals. The precision of his offensive plays has been improving)
"I have been watching Shuto's plays since last year, and I knew he had the ability to make decisive shots and last passes even in college. However, in the early games, he struggled to showcase his skills due to the speed and physicality of J1. Recently, he has gained confidence and I think he has been able to bring out his strengths."

(The system's stability is starting to show, and it worked well today as well)
"The defensive rules that we have been working on since spring camp have been difficult to incorporate smoothly."
Especially when pressing from the front line and when creating blocks in our own half, even though we understood it in our heads, we couldn't switch well on the pitch. Lately, the switch between pressing and blocking has become smoother.
The attack has improved its combination through the matches as we were able to keep the same members in August. Gradually, everyone has come to understand their roles, but we still haven't reached the point where "anyone can play". It is important to be able to continue the game without lowering the quality even when changing the members.
I think there will continue to be twists and turns, but now the part I think about in my head and the actual play are naturally linking together.

"Nagoya - Massimo FICCADENTI Coach Press Conference Summary"
"In the first half, we were completely outplayed by individual skills and (Diego) OLIVEIRA created chances for them and we conceded. After that, we defended well and they took the game in the direction they wanted, which was a fast-paced game."
In the second half, the balance shifted as we changed the members and pressed with the ball. However, there were mistakes and the opponent also executed counterattacks as planned. The timing of the goals was also favorable for the opponent. I wonder how much time there was when we were able to get into the game well despite the heavy rain. The players also had a difficult period.
Since the Levain Cup has ended, let's switch gears. Among the players who played today, both player Yonemoto and player Abe were able to play. It is uncertain whether the depth of the player lineup will increase from today onwards, as the same members have been working hard until now, but there will be quite a few more options.
Thank you for your hard work until today. Let's focus on the league matches and switch our mindset positively towards our current position. We must be grateful to the players for still being able to challenge for higher positions.
Today, Tokyo won as they were supposed to win. Looking at the score, there is nothing to complain about. I hope we can continue to let the players play comfortably in the league matches and do it again."
