"Kosuke OTA"
Q=Please review today's game.
"Winning without conceding a goal gives us confidence, but it was also a game where we faced some challenges."
It is difficult to match the team's condition to its peak at the opening game, and I think it is something that can gradually be improved while fighting. The team has definitely improved since it started, so I want to continue building on that. We will practice firmly in the remaining week and make the best preparations."

Q = Attacks from the side were noticeable, but "If we can hold the ball in a high position on the side, I think we will have more opportunities to participate in the attack. We are focused on creating scoring chances even with limited opportunities, and I want to trust the players who come inside and send them the ball. However, my position is a defender, so the most important thing is to have a good defense. I am happy that we didn't concede any goals today."

Q=Looking back on today's match

"I think it was good for us to be able to finish the game without conceding any goals. I am satisfied that we were able to show what the coach asked for during the camp and what the players were trying to do in today's match."

Q=What were the aspects of the soccer that the coach was looking for in today's match? "Each player ran well and had a sense of unity in going into defense. It's not just about individual performance, but I think we were able to come together as a team and fight to achieve good results."

Q=What is the feeling for leading the team as captain in today's match? "In addition to during the match, there are many things that I have to do as captain outside of the match. First, I want to show a proactive attitude through my play and communication, and lead the team."

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA Coach's Press Conference" 

"Yokohama FM played a possession-oriented football, similar to Barcelona, where the fullbacks would move inside and take up positions that are difficult for Yokohama FM's midfielder Nakamachi to catch. I think the players struggled until they got used to it. Especially due to the lack of balance on the right side, they allowed the opponents to enter the box multiple times. I think they improved as time went on, but they still lost the ball too many times after winning it, so we need to continue working on that. It was a difficult game, but winning in the end is very important in terms of developing a winning habit at home. For myself, I don't remember winning a preseason match before, so it's the first time that we can enter the season without losing in 6 games. That's because the players have shown a strong attitude to fight as a team. There were still some issues today, but we will continue to work on them one by one in training. Urawa has even stronger individual players, so we will prepare for the opening game for a week and be ready."

"Q&A"

Q=What did you get from today's game?

"I don't think possession is everything. Even when we were under pressure, we were able to respond well in the end. I don't think a game like today's is always good, but I believe that if we can control the game while building a solid defense, it will be good. Until the 30th minute of the first half, there were some dangerous moments, so we need to improve on that. As for our approach in the second half, I think our defensive line was able to push up high. I'm not pessimistic about our approach until we make changes to the lineup in the second half. However, we were too hasty after winning the ball and lost possession many times, so we need to make sure we can connect well in those situations."

Q=I think we couldn't create much rhythm at the position of the volante. "Even though there were mistakes in today's game, if you say there were a lot of mistakes in the previous games, it's not necessarily the case. I think it's not just their fault, but there are also issues with the receiving players, so I want to watch the footage again and give feedback."

Q=What about the substitution of players Ota and Maruyama? "I tried using Maruyama as a left fullback in the preseason match. I knew he could play in that position, but I had never actually used him in a real game, so I wanted to try it out."

《Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Manager's Press Conference Summary 

"We were able to stick to our style until the end and played solidly for 90 minutes. I think it was a good game for both teams."

"Q&A"

Q=What is the style that the coach talks about? "Although it's only been 3-4 weeks, the players have been working hard and trying to play dynamic soccer. I think there were a few moments like that in today's game, but we want to firmly incorporate it from now on."

Q=What is the most important aspect to focus on before the opening? "If we had scored the penalty, it would have been even better, but we were able to create chances in other ways as well. The most important thing is to improve the players' understanding of tactics. If we can do that, I believe we can have a better outcome, create chances, and score goals."
