【Player/Coach Comments】

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
(It was the milestone match of the 300th game in J1, but)
"First of all, I'm relieved that we won."
"I am happy to be able to win milestone matches at home."

(I think there have been various things since becoming a professional)
"I think this season is particularly difficult."
For J-League, for Tokyo, and for Japan as a whole, the current situation is very challenging.
Among them, with everyone's cooperation, we are able to play matches like this. I want to express my gratitude for being able to play soccer.
Also, I think that accumulation has reached 300 matches in the J1 League.
"I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported us so far."

(Smiles were seen during the pre-match ceremony)
"I'm more of a type to relax and get into the game."
Normally, I don't smile that much, but being able to see my wife and two daughters before the game made me feel at ease, and it was a moment when I wanted to win today's match even more.

(As a team, our enthusiasm for the future is)
"We are in a position to aim for victory in all tournaments."
I want to fight for each and every match, aiming to win all the titles.

Kensuke NAGAI
(Reflecting on the second goal scene)
"Player Ogawa gave me a good pass at the right timing."
I swung my foot because I saw the shooting course when I looked forward.
It was a goal that I thought went in the moment I hit it.

(The coach said that the first half performance was not very good)
"There were many small mistakes in the first half."
The way we lost was not good, and there were also moments when we were slow to switch and got caught on the counter.
I think we were able to connect the second and third goals by firmly correcting that part as a team in the second half."

(About personal condition)
"I was in a fresh state today, so I wanted to respond with results."
"I think it's good that we were able to achieve solid results."

(How do you perceive the difference in points with Kawasaki?)
"I think it's important to take each game seriously."
I want to focus on winning the current game because even if I look up, we have more games to play than other teams.
"Rather than focusing on Kawasaki, we are conscious of winning."

"Hirotaka MITA"
(Regarding the shooting scene that led to the opening goal)
"I just focused on shooting it into the goal. It would have been better if I could have scored with a more beautiful shot, but it was good that Tagawa player made a solid blind pass and led to a goal."

(It seems that a child has been born)
"Yesterday, the baby was born safely. (I told my wife) that I would win today's game, score a goal, and come back to do the cradle dance. Although it didn't end up being my goal, I think I did well."

(Regarding the fact that we ended today's match with a victory without losing consecutive games)
"After the next match against Yokohama FC, there will be a one-week break in the schedule, so I want to win the last match of the consecutive games and then firmly close it mentally in a good way for the following consecutive games."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"First of all, it was good to win at home. However, in terms of the content, especially in the first half, it was difficult to get into the rhythm and it was a slow start for the first 45 minutes. The only good part was being able to take the lead in a good way."
Although we improved a little in the second half, our performance today cannot be praised throughout the 90 minutes. The only positive thing we can say about today's game is that we managed to earn 3 points, albeit not in the best way."

(At first, it seemed like we weren't able to coordinate well with the opponent)
"Taku Shimizu was able to position himself well, so it was difficult for us to make it clear. However, I think we were able to fix that in the second half."

(Leandro has been suspended for 3 matches)
"It's not so much rough play as it is an act that goes against the rules, and as a team, we should reflect on it. I apologize for any discomfort caused by the play that people have witnessed."
Fortunately, Yuki YAMAMOTO of G Osaka did not suffer any major injuries, but I would like to apologize to both the player and G Osaka.
Leandro also received a warning once and was cautioned by the disciplinary committee. We were also careful about such plays, but we had to prevent a recurrence. It is my responsibility that the same thing was repeated. It is an act that the club should reflect on. In the future, I want to play in accordance with the spirit of fair play. I told the players that intense play and dirty play are different."

"Summary of Shimizu Peter CKLAMOVSKI's press conference"
"It was a disappointing result."
We were able to get off to a good start and there were good moments when our flow was coming. However, in the first half, we conceded a goal from a set piece. Up until that point, the opponent had not entered our penalty area and we were in control, but it became a disappointing game.
In the first half, it would have been better if we could have posed more of a threat to the opponent, but the final pass was not very good.
I think we were able to create good chances and we were able to get into the opponent's penalty area, and we were even able to make the final pass.
I want to improve there. We need to have better defensive responses at the second goal, and the opponent created a good chance and scored there. After that, we were able to continue our soccer and make it 1-2, and the flow continued, and we came to a point where we could score our second goal. During that time, there was a moment when the pass was off. We were able to create chances, but as we entered the end of the game, the opponent scored a third goal and pulled away."
