【Player/Coach Comments】

"Adailton"
(Regarding the incident involving Nagai's participation, his state of mind at that time was)
"As a bench member, I am always prepared to play and constantly thinking about what I can do."

(Suddenly playing and scoring 2 goals. Reviewing the game)
"We lost the first match and the second match was a tough situation. Personally, I thought about contributing to the team by scoring goals and approached the game. I am very happy that I was able to score and lead the team to victory."

(The combination with Leandro and Diego was amazing)
"We haven't played together for a long time with the three of us, but today we played together again and I felt that communication was easy."
Today, all three of us were able to score goals, and it was a good result that made everyone happy, including myself.

(Levain Cup Prime Stage Ambition)
"The opponent has not been decided yet, but I want to defeat the next opponent and advance to the final. I want to continue to strive for the title."

(I had not been getting good results, but I was conscious of this game)
"I was disappointed with the result of the Emperor's Cup and felt down, but I approached this game with a strong determination to win at all costs and advance to the next stage. I believe that is what led to today's result."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
(It was a game that we wanted to take the lead in, as it was the second game we faced with a 0-1 score. Regarding the flow of the game)
"It was a clear situation that we couldn't advance to the next stage without scoring points, so I think that the fact that we were able to continue fighting with a positive mindset of being able to reverse from the start led to today's victory."

(It was a fierce battle for the ball)
"In soccer, it is common to have battles for the ball, and it is something that needs to be done against any opponent, such as in the base areas."
Shonan in particular is strong in ball control and is a fast team in both offense and defense, so I thought that if we fell behind there, they would take control of the game.
I think we were able to fight well while negotiating in such a situation.

(Although it was a comfortable victory, how did we overcome it psychologically?)
"Last week, we lost in the Emperor's Cup and faced a very difficult situation as a team. We also lost 0-1 in the first match at home in Komazawa, but today we had a clear task of scoring goals, and I think that awareness propelled the team forward. I think Tokyo is strong when they have a strong forward mentality, so I believe that aspect was brought out well."
"We have to enter the next league match with the same level of intensity, and I want to continue this kind of fight because I think the opponent in today's soccer was tough."

(It became a confidence for the team to advance to the Prime Stage)
"Of course, winning builds confidence for the team, but there are still things that need to be improved, and personally, I still have room to grow. I think everyone will get better if we continue to be more conscious."
"I want to continue to improve, including myself."

(I think today was a big victory)
"The team is struggling with a disappointing ranking, but I think they will improve with something as a trigger, and I hope today's game can be a turning point like that."
"As I mentioned earlier, we need to do more and more to compete in the J1 League. I want to continue doing each and every thing so that we can climb higher from now on."

(Adailton player made his appearance after taking the lead, and how did he respond?)
"We couldn't advance to the next stage unless we scored more than 2 points, so I think everyone played with that awareness regardless of who was on the field, and that led to today's battle."
In the league, you have to score goals and you can't win just by defending.
It is also a part that is drawn out from the situation of being behind in a battle like today's home and away, so I want to continue this way of fighting in the league.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"The players expressed their feelings and gave us an incredibly wonderful game."
"I want to prepare myself so that I can steadily advance to the next stage, and I hope to continue this momentum in the league matches."

(How do you see the team's condition now that the foreign players are back in shape?)
"We have been working towards bridging the gap that has prevented us from scoring in the previous matches, so we have been focusing on that aspect for this game."
Today, I think we were able to score in a Tokyo-like way, with Brazilian players involved up front, starting with Leandro's goal. I want to prepare to continue this in the league matches."

(I think today we were focused on scoring goals, but the intended form was)
"The first goal was from Diego's post-play to Leandro. The second goal was from Leandro's through pass to Diego, and we had a similar situation last time, but in the first match, it was blocked by the physical play of the Shonan players. Today, we entered the game with the intention of first scoring one goal, and each player brought it to a good form and scored."

(Evaluation of Kashif BANGNAGANDE)
"I think he played very well today."
"They really played a game today that I have nothing to say about."

(I have dropped the Emperor's Cup, and I have been discussing what kind of encouragement to give for today's match)
"I felt that we were coming as a team just one step away. We have always been talking about how we can take that one step as a team."
I think the accuracy of the finish was very high today because we had been talking about it even in the meeting.
"I think we can improve the quality as we have already made a lot of progress in terms of appearance."

"Post-match interview summary with Shonan's coach Bin UKISHIMA"
"Before the game, we confirmed that we need to have the mindset of going for the win ourselves, without relying on others, and we must not forget the game we won 1-0 last time in a positive way."
The result, however, was that in the first half, we didn't put enough pressure on the ball and dropped too deep, which led to conceding goals by allowing the opponents to create opportunities in the attacking third. I think all three goals were conceded because we couldn't execute the defensive actions that we should have done.
In the second half, we fell behind and tried to regain our aggressiveness, but we couldn't score and ended up conceding another goal.
I think it was a complete defeat game.

(The reason for today's defeat)
"From the start, we were not able to handle the ball well, react to the second ball after putting it vertically, and unlike the previous game and league matches against Tokyo, the opponent was extremely aggressive. We needed to have the mindset to bounce back from such situations, but we were overwhelmed by the opponent's initial momentum, which was the biggest reason for our defeat."
