"Sei MUROYA Player"
"We talked together and approached the game with a focus on our emotions. Due to the weather conditions, it was quite difficult to threaten the goal, but I think we were able to work hard as a team."

(Have you ever played on a pitch condition where water has accumulated up to this point?)
"I don't think I have ever played a match in such a state where water has accumulated up to this point."

(The pre-match warm-up on the pitch was suddenly canceled)
"I had some concerns because I needed to carefully confirm how much the ball would slide and what kind of sensation it would be at the beginning, but I think everyone was able to adapt quickly."

(Reflect on the opening goal that became the deciding goal)
"I had taken several shots in the first half, and the coach told me, 'If you hit the target, something might happen.' So, I had a sense of it, and I was able to concentrate on hitting the target and score a goal."

(Although it was a goal that hit the post after being deflected by the goalkeeper, the intention at that time was)
"Because I didn't know when the ball would stop due to the rain, I was only thinking about hitting the ball well to shoot it inside the frame."

(The moment I entered, the guts pose was impressive)
"I thought it would be a one-point game based on today's game development, so I really thought it would be big if I could score the first goal, and that feeling welled up."

(What kind of progress has been made since the camp)
"To be honest, I don't think we have achieved anything yet. Today, we were in a situation where we couldn't really show the tactical aspects, so we focused more on working hard and fighting. It is very important to be able to win games like this, and I hope to continue building on experiences like today."

(Finally, the new season has begun. This year's resolution is)
"The ACL group stage will start soon. I want to prepare well and face it."

"Adailton"
（Looking back on the game）
"If you watch today's game, you will understand that the conditions for playing soccer were not ideal, and we had to play in a way that was different from our usual style. However, despite that, we were able to fight as a team and achieve victory. I am also very happy that I was able to score a goal myself. It was great to be able to express my strengths, such as power and speed, on the pitch. I am truly happy to be able to celebrate with the fans and supporters."

"(Looking back at the goal scene)
I felt that the goalkeeper was in a high position from the first half. In the goal scene, I saw the goalkeeper coming out when I attempted a long dribble, so I was able to smoothly score with a looping shot."

(Did I fulfill my role in today's match, and what were the factors that led to today's victory?)
"Today, the players who took the field feel that they were able to fight for the team."
In this kind of pitch, I couldn't dribble or pass properly. However, more than that, I had a strong desire to win this match and was able to fight with the belief that I would definitely seize victory. I think the way we contributed to the game led to the victory, as each player was able to fight with responsibility.


The factors that led to today's victory are:
"In this kind of pitch, I couldn't dribble or pass properly. However, more than that, I had a strong desire to win this game and fought with the feeling that I had to win. That's why I believe I was able to achieve victory."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"It was a very difficult battle because it was different from the usual pitch feeling. In that, I think I was able to surpass the opponent in the ball contest during defense, and as a result, it led to a goal. Today, it was really good because winning was everything."

The difference from last season is that "it is quite difficult to judge only based on today's game, but new signings Leandro and Adailton also showed very good movements. Midfielder Abe also played a good role."
I think that players like this give me motivation, so I want to continue training and improving my condition in the future."

The future challenges are "We still need to improve our condition, and as a team, we are also challenging a new system this season. Continuously, we want to stimulate each other as a team and build something even better."

(What kind of season do we want to make this season?)
"Last season, we want to achieve what we couldn't accomplish. We want to play good matches in both the ACL and J-League, and show matches that will make the fans and supporters happy."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I am glad to be able to participate in the main tournament. It was also a responsibility to fight as a representative of the J-League. I conveyed to the players to fight with pride as representatives of the J-League."
There are no easy games in Asia. The players fought from the kick-off. We talked about being careful, especially in front of the goal, as the refereeing is different from J-League. I thought set plays would be the most dangerous, so the defensive line understood and fought.
The last foul by Taichi HARA was not intentional, as he himself stated, but of course, being sent off is not a good thing.
There may be difficult judgments in such Asian tournaments. We have to fight until the end with great care, but I think it was good that we were able to score additional points even with 10 players.
Adailton, Leandro, Abe, and Oumari, despite the short preparation period, performed well. We need to improve further from here. We want to step up our game and prepare thoroughly for the match against Ulsan Hyundai FC on November 11th.

(To be honest, the weather was so bad that the game couldn't be played. How did you perceive the situation?)
"Both teams were under the same conditions. The field was still in the process of being renovated from the Rugby World Cup to the Olympics, so it hadn't fully settled yet. However, I think the groundskeepers and everyone involved made efforts, and it's an unavoidable situation, so we decided to accept it and keep it simple. Young players are not yet accustomed to playing on a bad field condition like today. It requires skill to carry and move the ball, and even kicking it hard won't make it fly, so technique is demanded. I think they played well as time went on."
Brazilian players had great technical skills. It has been said that the difference in technique is evident on rainy days. We played soccer in the mud. I hope young players can improve their skills through such experiences."

"Summary of the press conference by Coach Stoijkovic of Ceres-Negros"
"Due to the influence of the climate, we were unable to achieve good results. This kind of climate is disadvantageous for both us and FC Tokyo. However, FC Tokyo created more opportunities than us and I think they were able to capitalize on those opportunities."

(Reflecting on the 3 playoff games)
"First of all, I am proud of the players."
I got the impression that they gave their all in every match. Today, I think there was an opportunity to receive a penalty kick near the end, but we were not fortunate enough for that, and I want to accept the result including that.

(The set plays were good, but what kind of analysis did you do?)
"Of course, I analyzed the Tokyo team, but even if I analyzed it thoroughly, the forecast would be greatly off with this kind of weather. Today, we had to make significant changes to the planned strategy. We couldn't connect our short passing style, which is our usual style, and it became completely different. The players also seemed to be forced to adapt to an unfamiliar style."
