"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
"It was a tough game, so it was a match where we had to make the most of our opportunities."
The scene of conceding a goal was not so much about the opponent, but rather about us collapsing and having the goal taken away.
I think if we don't tighten up in both offense and defense, we will lose points.

(What is the missing part as a team?)
"The areas where we need to improve are in our finishing and in conceding goals, which have been a result of individual errors. We all need to raise the quality of our defense in those areas."
"We have been conceding a lot of goals that seem like nothing recently."

(Did you feel the opponent's momentum and strong determination?)
"We knew from the beginning that they would play that kind of soccer, so we had to surpass them."

(Also, important thing is to continue to switch firmly and face forward, even though the consecutive battles continue)

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
(It seemed like they were attacking with a good rhythm in the first half)
"I think the content itself was good. In soccer, we have to focus on scoring goals."
The game situation can change depending on whether you take that opportunity or not. I feel that we need to learn from Fukuoka's physicality and mentality.
I think it's not bad to continue challenging through the matches."

(I felt that if we couldn't score in the first half, it would be difficult in the second half)
"It's a common development in football."
I want to focus on scoring goals in every match against any opponent. I want to continue the good parts firmly."

(After conceding a goal, it seemed like the team was in disarray, but this was the players' impression)
"When the opposing team scores a goal away, the atmosphere in the stadium becomes one of 'we can win', so we got a little flustered there. However, there were also good parts other than that, so we want to take it positively and continue firmly."

(To rebuild the team after a losing streak)
"We have no choice but to thoroughly analyze the good and bad points, discuss them with the players, and move forward."
"We want to create a good momentum again in the next Levain Cup and connect it to the league matches."

(Although we will have to fight consecutive battles)
"There's no point in looking down, even if we fight with all our might, there are times when we lose."
Before fighting against Kawasaki, we had not lost and we were getting better and better when we were doing well. There are many things that happen during a long season.
"It is not good to create an atmosphere where everything is considered a failure just because we lose a little. So, let's analyze and reflect on it properly and move forward to the next."

"Makoto OKAZAKI"
(Played as a fullback, but what aspects did you focus on during the game?)
"I entered the game with the intention of playing simply, taking into account the reflection on the start of the Kawasaki match."
For example, I was conscious of sending the ball simply behind players like Diego OLIVEIRA and Adailton, or flowing it to the side.

(Looking back on the game, we could see Tokyo's style in the first half)
"I think it would have been better if we had been more aggressive in defense, preventing shots and not allowing easy crosses."
Playing as a side back was a long time ago, but I felt like there was more I could do.

(Regarding the defeat with a score of 0-1)
I think Fukuoka had the upper hand in terms of team play.
I felt the strength of thoroughly doing what needs to be done, and I think we also need to continue practicing and playing games every day to further refine our team's way of fighting."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"We were unable to break Fukuoka's goal in the end."
I think Fukuoka was fighting with their emotions on the forefront.
It's not that we weren't doing it, but I think it was the slight difference that led to pushing through at the end and putting our bodies on the line at the end.
I think Fukuoka had a wonderful game today.

(The feeling of the composition of today's members and the strength felt by the opponent)
"In the first half, we were able to create several chances, so in that sense, there was a sense of accomplishment in the first half."
In the second half, during the time period of conceding a goal, the opponent's Sugimoto player skillfully infiltrated and broke down the right side, resulting in a goal being scored.
I think it is a point to reflect on that we were unable to play our own football as a team after conceding a goal.
"We changed the members during the water break to increase the intensity a little, but ultimately we were unable to break Fukuoka's goal."

"Fukuoka -Shigetoshi HASEBE Coach's Press Conference Summary"
"I think there were big chances for both teams to score multiple goals."
Either team could have won. However, it was originally expected to be a game with solid defense from both sides, ending in a 1-0 victory or a 0-0 draw.
The game turned out to be like that, but Bruno Mendes, who joined this season, scored, and there were various "firsts" such as Jordy Croux's debut match. I hope we can continue to repeat good "firsts" from now on.
