【Player/Coach Comments】

"Shuto ABE"
"After the first goal against, there was still a feeling that we could make a comeback, but we quickly conceded a second goal and our spirits dropped from there."
"We couldn't turn the tide after conceding a goal, and ended up conceding more goals in that same flow."

(I think we were able to create a lot of chances)
I think Tokyo's football was able to be played from the start of the game until the end of the first half.
That was the reason for today's defeat, not being able to score.
"In soccer, you can't win if you can't score points, so even if the performance is good, it became a game where I once again feel that I can't win."

(About conceding a goal)
"It was a goal conceded in the form of being caught off guard for a moment."
Risk management is important when attacking.

(Today, many fans and supporters came to the stadium, but)
"We conceded 4 goals amidst the presence of many fans and supporters."
"We had a disappointing game, so we want to make the next one a game where we can win and celebrate."

Kensuke NAGAI
(Looking back on the match)
"We were unable to take our chances and as a result, it turned out like this."
I feel responsible as a forward and I also had chances, so I want to make sure to score firmly from the next match onwards."

(It was the first consecutive loss of the season)
I think it's important to switch and keep going.
"We want to fight together as a team."

(Did you have a feeling that you were able to carry the game according to the plan until the middle of the game?)
"There were many chances to score goals, from the first half to the point of conceding goals in the second half."
The team was unable to score due to the inability of the forward players, resulting in a lack of momentum for the team.
"After missing a big chance, the game developed in such a way that the team conceded a goal, and I feel responsible as an individual."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"We lost as we were supposed to lose. We didn't make the crucial decisions when we had to, and then I got frustrated and ended up doing something that is unbecoming of a player like me. I think we had absolutely no elements to win."

(First consecutive losses of the season. We created good chances but couldn't convert them into goals, resulting in consecutive losses.)
"We have no choice but to keep going. It's not about which forward player, but a problem for everyone."
"There is no choice but to keep putting in the effort."

(Was it a game plan battle until we conceded a goal?)
"It often ends up like this when we can't finish the game as planned. It's truly a disappointing result."
Yokohama FM in particular has individual strength even during halftime, so a comeback is expected.
He took advantage of a momentary gap and entered the second half, but couldn't convert the first big chance.
I went for a shot, but was countered afterwards.
Still a long way to go after falling down after conceding a goal. Team strength is needed to prevent the second goal.
There are still no players who can speak up when it's tough. If Higashi comes back, he might become a motivating presence for the team again.
However, currently, if we concede a goal first and become disheartened, I feel that we lack the type of player who can energize and inspire the team. Even in this type of game situation, it is also necessary to have the cunning to not allow any momentary weaknesses. We still lack strength in all aspects.

"Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary"
"It was a difficult game. Games against Tokyo always become challenging."
"We were unable to control the game well in the first half, but we continued to work hard and create opportunities, and were able to capitalize on those chances."

(In the past few games, I have been changing my position in every game, but what was the intention behind it?)
"In terms of growth, it is challenging to have games every two days or every three days."
However, I feel that the players continue to work incredibly hard, have a strong mentality, and show a never-give-up attitude."

(The strength to decide the chance in a situation where it is not known which way it will roll has emerged. How do you feel about that strength?)
"By keeping the ball in our soccer, the opponent also gets tired. In the previous Nagoya match, it was a difficult game to replace 8 players, and today we replaced 7 players."
Today, we focused on strengthening our defense and not allowing easy goals. We want to continue believing in our own style of football.
