【Player/Coach Comments】
Kensuke NAGAI
(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"I couldn't hit the ball well on the first attempt, but I was able to kick the ball firmly into the near upper corner on the second attempt, which was good."
(Scored the second goal of the season in an important match)
"I think it's good that I was able to score in such an important match, especially since we lost as a team in the previous round."
(Things I was conscious of during the game)
"There were moments where I was able to dribble simply and take it to the goal, but the final accuracy was low."
We were able to take the first goal, but we want to make sure to secure the second and third goals as a team.
(It became a game to wipe away the defeat of Tosu, but it seems to be a confidence booster)
"If we neglect the basics of the ball and other things we do on a daily basis, it will lead to conceding goals."
"I felt that we need to continue as a team, just like today's match."
"Hirotaka MITA"
(It was the first victory in 17 years at Away Saitama Stadium. Looking back on today's game)
"I finally think we won. I didn't have much of an image of past victories, so I'm honestly happy."
(What do you feel now that it has become the 200th J1 match?)
"There have been seasons where I had a fulfilling time, and there have been seasons where it was not the case."
After going through various experiences, I think I was able to play in 200 matches, so I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me, my family, and my wife.
I want to continue to have fulfilling matches that I am satisfied with, and aim for 300 matches in the future.
(I think today's game was important not to lose consecutive games)
"We played a pathetic game in the previous round."
I think everyone was motivated today and everyone was able to do things like not giving the opponent freedom and quickly switching.
(The next match will be an away game against Shonan)
"Today, not losing consecutive games is really significant."
"I also want to win consecutive victories in order to create a good flow and keep up with the top teams."
"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
(Considering the frustrating result of the previous match, how did you approach the game with what kind of mindset?)
"First of all, as you can see from today's match, Urawa also came into the game with a strong determination in the physical battles."
In the previous match, there were moments where the ball slipped away from us, but today we entered the game with a focus on details rather than tactics or technique.
(I think we fought through every moment of the game today)
"When everyone is performing well, the team wins."
It is inevitable that there will be ups and downs throughout the season. I think today's result was due to everyone going back to the basics and entering the game again.
(It was the first victory in 17 years for Tokyo as an away team against Urawa)
"I myself was able to win for the first time as an away team against Urawa."
The teammates were reliable, and the players who got the chance played confidently, including the young players.
I think these new players have carved a new page in Tokyo.
(Based on the Tosu match, what Morishige player feels in today's game)
"Now, in the midst of consecutive matches, young players like Takumi Nakamura, Genki Hara, and Hotaka Nakamura may participate, and their strengths can become a weapon for the team."
However, for example, there was a scene today where Takumi NAKAMURA cleared the ball with a header. Although there are still areas for improvement, we may have won today's match by chance.
I think the team will become stronger by learning and experiencing various things in a situation where there are few things we can do."
"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was a difficult game, but everyone fought with their hearts from the first half. I think they concentrated and fought until the end to change the history of not being able to win for a long time."
(The time we had the ball was long, but we showed a strong defense)
"In the previous match, we conceded 3 goals away against Tosu. Today, Morishige came back and tightened our defense. Also, everyone worked hard until the end to make up for what we couldn't do in the previous match."
(Following the home game victory, we won against Urawa)
"We can welcome October with a victory in the last match of the 9-game series in September. It was good that we were able to break the bad flow from the previous match. Urawa also fought hard, so it was good that we were able to win against them."
(This victory is the first in 17 years at Saitama Stadium. A message to the fans and supporters)
"In the away match against Urawa last season, we were caught up in the additional time and ended up with a draw. I think we should have broken the bad streak last season and it was a frustrating draw, leaving substitutions available. This season, we made sure not to repeat the same mistake, using all three substitutions and managing the time. Everyone fully understood the frustration from last season and continued to apply pressure without backing down. The bitter feeling of being defeated in the end last season led to this victory. The fans and supporters' voices were heard that Tokyo couldn't beat Urawa. It's good that we were able to win, and I think it's a happy victory for the club."
"Summary of Urawa - Tsuyoshi Otsuki Coach Press Conference"
"I wanted to prepare to surpass Tokyo and express that. One thing was that we couldn't score in the first half, and we conceded a goal in that way. I wanted to express a little more about bouncing back from that."
(Compared to the recent matches, we were able to play more aggressively)
"I think the difference between two days of rest and three days of rest was significant. Also, the addition of fresh players, I think that was a big factor."
(There were parts where we could have surpassed them in terms of content)
We had been talking about how various things can be influenced by the way the ball is taken away in the battle of the ball and by the referee's whistle. It was a place where we wanted to surpass them in all aspects, including those.
In addition, I had to try to put the ball into the frame in front of the goal by exerting power. In the first half, I had the ball and even entered the box, but I feel like I couldn't fully express that aspect, which lingered until the second half.
Regarding the content, it is unfortunate that the players couldn't achieve results despite their hard work. However, as I have mentioned before, we need to acknowledge our weaknesses and not overlook our strengths in order to move forward and build upon them for the next opportunity."
