【Player/Coach Comments】

Kyosuke TAGAWA
"In the end, the result was a significant goal difference, but there were also unfortunate goals conceded in terms of the overall performance."
I think it is important to see how much the forward players can help the team when it is in a difficult situation.
"Instead of feeling down after conceding the first goal, I want to quickly regain the strength to take it back."

(After conceding a goal, player Tagawa immediately carried the ball to the center and showed an impressive attitude of running until the end to aim for a goal)
"I don't think it's just a negative thing that we saw areas to improve in terms of breaking down the opponent's defense when they sit back. I think we can respond by focusing on those areas and incorporating training and visualization for the next match. I also want to develop the ability to make decisive decisions myself."

(There is a Hiroshima match coming up soon, and there are also national team activities, but looking ahead)
"Rather than losing here, I want to bring back a good flow and create a lively atmosphere from practice. I want to be more aggressive."

"Takuya AOKI"
(I think there were elements of harvest rather than just losing in the way of losing in the 5 consecutive defeats)
"I think we are able to fight aggressively on our own compared to that time."

(Is there any difference between the two consecutive victories and today's match?)
"The start of the match was not bad, but I feel that there are still areas where we can improve in our game plan after conceding goals."

(The impression was that the last pass didn't connect, but what I actually felt while playing was)
"We need to align ourselves more as a team in terms of how we build up attacks towards the shot, and the timing of entering that area. We want to work on that aspect and be able to take the shot in a good way."

(Did the substitution of the side back due to an accident have any impact?)
"Both Uchida and Nakamura Takumi have different strengths, so we play each game with the awareness of utilizing their respective strengths."
There was no special impact just because the player changed.

(Did the game plan collapse after conceding the first goal?)
"I had the desire not to concede a goal first, but I think there are also aspects in soccer where it doesn't go that way."
We want to improve ourselves and play the kind of football we can be proud of.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"Today, I think Shimizu's players had a stronger mindset towards victory than Tokyo."
The start of the match was not a bad start, but there were times in the first half, towards the end of the first half, and at the start of the second half where we conceded goals, such as being pushed back on second balls. Additionally, the opponent fought with concentration until the end, so we were unable to break their defense.
"Switching gears, we want to prepare thoroughly for the next Hiroshima match."

"Summary of Shimizu Lotina's Press Conference"
"It was basically a game where everything went well."
Against strong teams like Tokyo, we hardly gave them any chances in the defensive part. Also, we were fortunate enough to take advantage of the first opportunity. From there, we scored two goals from corner kicks and were able to maintain good defense without making any mistakes.
The team realizes that winning against a strong opponent in an important match boosts their confidence and that good results will come if they continue with their training.
"We had been having a series of games where we couldn't win even though we were making good preparations and playing well, so I seemed a little down, but I hope this victory will bring confidence to the team."

(Unlike before, what was good in terms of attacking was)
"We approached each game with a clear plan, but today's plan was even clearer and it worked well."
I think the attack has been successful in terms of the training we have done, and it is also significant that we have been stable in defense.

(The evaluation of the defense that ended without conceding a goal is)
"It is important to end without conceding a goal, and if we can keep a clean sheet, the chances of winning will increase."
In the previous Sapporo match, we had decisive chances on our side and had a feeling that we could take the lead, but we conceded a goal easily. When that happens, the game becomes difficult.
I think it is very important to keep the goals conceded to zero."
