Kosuke OTA
(I think the result was tough both in terms of score and content)
"I think we had a pretty good start for the first 10 minutes until we scored, just like in the G Osaka match."
However, we were unable to maintain compactness and allowed the opponent's two forwards to create scenes where the ball entered.
I feel like even in a situation where we are leading by one point, we were dispossessed of the ball by trying to make a move even though there was no need to hurry, and we ended up giving the opponent the rhythm.
"I think we need to discuss and make corrections together."

(Regarding the goals conceded scene)
"There were many scenes where we were headed from crosses. I feel that it was not only today, but also the Tosu match."
First of all, I think it is necessary to firmly close the gap with the whole holder and keep the defense line a little higher to not give the opponent freedom. It was a game today after drawing against Tosu, so I was excited, but we have to accept that we haven't produced results. Coach Shinoda also said before the game, "Today's game will be important," but I think we made the game difficult for ourselves."

（In the post-match press conference, Coach Shinoda said, "We have to face this and move forward." How do you take that?)
"We have to concentrate on training with the intention of building from scratch, and I think everyone needs to come together as one. FC Tokyo is not yet a strong team, so I want to approach the Urawa match with a strong determination and the mindset of a challenger."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"The start of the match, from around 10 to 15 minutes, the rhythm was really good. It was good until then, but after that, we were heavily pressed and the opponent created chances from long balls and crosses."
We need to discuss the reasons why it turned out this way and make corrections, otherwise we will be treated in the same way again.
If the opponent kicks, you have to close in and press them from the front to prevent them from freely kicking.
However, it was not possible to do that in today's match.
It is something that the whole team must be aware of, and if everyone does not play with dedication and determination, the opponent will create a rhythm by kicking long balls.
I think that not being able to do that was one of the reasons for today's defeat.

"Summary of Yoshiyuki SHINODA's press conference"
"First of all, we want to take this defeat seriously and think about how we can overcome it. I personally feel a great responsibility for the outcome."
However, it is true that we have clashed in various aspects such as the fighting part, second ball, distance feeling, etc., so we want to train to regain the attitude to confront them again.
I am now feeling the weight of taking this result back home to all the supporters who have come from far away.

"Sapporo - Coach Shuhei Yoneda's Press Conference Summary"
"We carelessly conceded a goal at the beginning and it became difficult, but on the contrary, I think that became the trigger for us to show the attitude of "let's recover" in both offense and defense. I am grateful for the efforts of the players who fought throughout the 90 minutes and for the supporters who brought that out."
I think it's good that we were able to show our intended offense and defense, and that it led to results.
