[Player and Coach Comments]

《Go HATANO Player》
"I think being able to win without conceding any goals is a plus for the team."
As an individual, there were many instances where I was shot at by the opponent, and my kicks did not match my teammates, so there are many challenges that I need to overcome one by one and build upon.

(What about winning without conceding a goal in home games?)
I want to play at an even higher level, so I want to make today's performance a given and do my best to be able to participate in J1.

(What were you conscious of during the game?)
I think I was able to confidently handle things like crossing the ball, which is one of my strengths, so I'm glad.

(Returning from the U-20 World Cup and only having 3 days of rest, it was challenging in terms of condition.)
Because foreign players have a wide shooting range, even after returning home, I was conscious of that aspect and always approached today's match with a high level in mind.
I think it was a really good experience watching the U-20 World Cup from the bench.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
I want to continue to keep a clean sheet and contribute to the team's victory.

《Yoshiatsu OIJI Player》
"We struggled a bit at the beginning, but I think we started to function as a team little by little from Insoo YU's goal."
The second half also became a difficult situation, but I think we were able to defend well with the DF unit at the center.

(3rd match of this season, how is your game sense?)
It was my first appearance in an official match in a while, but I'm starting to get used to it little by little and I'm able to play for the full 90 minutes physically.
However, there are many challenges regarding the quality of play, so we would like to improve it further.

(FC Tokyo is fighting again with the emblem on their chest?)
I am very grateful to FC Tokyo.
Also, it is a very important thing for me to be able to fight with everyone while wearing the FC Tokyo emblem.
I am very happy to be able to share the victory with my teammates, fans, and supporters like today.

(What are your thoughts on the next match?)
I hope we can win the next game and continue our momentum. Thank you for your support."

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"We are truly grateful to have had a large number of fans and supporters, approximately 2,100 people, come to the game in such good weather and with a well-maintained field condition."
I think it was very good that we were able to win at home in the end.

However, in terms of content, there were many basic mistakes such as inviting a big pinch from our own mistakes, the passes being off in the build-up phase, and not being aware of the surroundings. I think it was a game where either team could have won.

I think the awareness of heading towards the goal has been increasing in the past 2-3 matches, so I think those aspects were good."
