《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
(It was a priceless equalizing goal)
"I'm glad I was able to execute the shape we had trained for in that goal-scoring opportunity."
However, as a team, we couldn't enter the game in a good shape since it has been a long time since our last match.
After catching up with the tie, I think it was a game that showed the usual Tokyo-like style.
"We were able to show our strength in the second half and play without being pushed back by the opponent, so we want to build on this."

(I was screaming after the goal)
"I want to aim for another goal in the second half."
I have been working on improving my condition since the camp, so my body is starting to move again.
It is difficult to improve the condition during consecutive matches, but I think I want to continue because I can approach the game with a fresh feeling again after the restart."

(We won the competition for scoring opportunities)
If scenes like that increase, I think the number of goals will also increase, and Tokyo has good crossers.
There are also scenes where it collapses inside, so I think there are times when the outside is empty. I think there is still room for improvement, and the attacking pattern is something that we worked on during the camp, so I think more will come out from now on."

"Kosuke OTA (player)"
(He had 2 assists. How do you look back on the game?)
"I was a little worried when we conceded the opening goal, but East player quickly equalized for us, so it was good."

Sei Muroya assisted, so I thought I couldn't lose and I was satisfied with the part where I could assist for additional points afterwards.
I am happy to have contributed to the team's victory.

(There were many breakthrough scenes in the second half. What did you focus on at the beginning of the second half?)
"In the second half, Hiroshi OMORI took a good positioning. The space in front of me was wide open, so it was easy to play."
I think our team's intention worked well as we were able to break down the opponent with one touch even in the third goal scene.

(I feel that the team's atmosphere is good as we conducted a camp during the break period)
"Some players have transferred, but today Makoto OKAZAKI showed a solid performance."
I think that such things are very important and will contribute to raising the team's level. As the league matches will also resume, I want to tighten our focus from here on and fight together as a team."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's Press Conference"

"In the first half, I think we lacked a bit of speed and power to threaten the goal, as it was our first game in a while. We managed to get close to the goal and take shots, but we couldn't quite produce that final push and intensity in the first half."
In the second half, I think the power and intensity to finish the game off came out quite a bit. In that kind of situation, we were able to turn the game around and take the lead.
Today, we played with players who were not familiar with the game. The members who are playing in J3 have game sense, so it was good to be able to have players like Yonemoto and Tanabe play early and return them to official matches.
"The league matches will resume in another week, and we have also advanced to the next round of the Emperor's Cup. We want to continue making good preparations as a team so that we can achieve victory again."

"Summary of Niigata Manager Masakazu Suzuki's Press Conference"

"In the first half, the players were in a good shape and we were able to score goals while maintaining a compact defense. However, in the second half, we conceded goals due to a lapse in marking and allowed the opponents to take advantage."
"However, I believe that the players' efforts to continue scoring until the end will lead to something in the future."
