[Player and Coach Comments]

"Shoya NAKAJIMA"
(It was a tough result with 0-2.)
"We need to reflect on today's game and prepare for the next one. I want to watch the game footage and identify areas that need improvement."

(Nakajima showed scenes of actively attacking with dribbles.)
"If the opponent approached, I could pass to my teammate or play flexibly. However, I wish I could have played faster and I am frustrated that I couldn't make better plays."

(There is a Levain Cup in 2 days. What should we do as a team?)
"It is very embarrassing and unacceptable for an attacking player to not score a single goal in 90 minutes. We absolutely need to improve in that aspect, and I believe we can improve next time."

Peter UTAKA player
(There were many opportunities, but we couldn't score)
"I think the problem with today's game and the previous league match is that we couldn't score. We were able to create many chances, but in soccer, scoring is everything, so in that regard, the opponent was better today."

(Did Okubo (Yoshito) player substitute and increase the attacking role?)
"First of all, Okubo (Yoshito) player is a very important presence for FC Tokyo. Unfortunately, he had to be substituted today, so we had to change our way of playing. However, Nagai player who came in as a substitute gave his all, and I think the only thing that was really lacking today was goals."

"Summary of Yoshiyuki SHINODA's press conference"
"Fans and supporters came all the way to the away game in the rain, but I am very disappointed and frustrated that we couldn't deliver a good result. Conceding a goal early on increased Júbilo's momentum, and not being able to score from there had a big impact later on. I reflect on the clear moments when Adailton's crosses were successful and when we couldn't defend against counterattacks. I think it is important to figure out how to face soccer with confidence together with the players. I want to prepare for the next game as a team."

"Q&A"
Q: How is the condition of Yoshito OKUBO?
"I twisted my foot a little and got caught in the grass, so the pain is quite strong. I won't know for sure until I get it checked, but it might take some time."

"Summary of Iwata Hiroshi Nanami's Press Conference"
"The opening goal in the 11th minute was a very good start and a good breakthrough, and it was a scene where the strengths of the players inside came out and they made a good entrance. However, it was a very difficult period until halftime and from the start of the second half until Adailton hit the shot on the bar. We were wide and especially in the vertical passes, Peter UTAKA created opportunities from his position. It was a point of reflection that we ended up defending there, but on the other hand, it was a winning factor that we were able to persistently defend in that situation. In the absence of Yoshito OKUBO, who was no longer injured, we couldn't fully take care of Nagai's dynamism, which may have been the cause of our disadvantage in that period. Also, by scoring the second goal, we had time on the sides and with Shunsuke Nakamura, and ideas for the receiver and the passer, ideas for changing the distance of the ball as we created time, and such things were born, and it was a period where we could watch without stress. In the recent six matches, we said it was a thorny path, but to finish with 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw is everything. Anyway, the players have fully understood their daily actions and reflections, and they have also communicated a lot in the mutual relationship, and the desire to show a good game to the home supporters overlaps, so I think we are having a very good game. I think we can be greedy and aim for 4 consecutive wins or 5 consecutive wins without stopping here."

"Q&A"
Please evaluate player Kawabe with 2 assists.
"I think we have improved by two or three levels in terms of the driving force and ideas to move forward in attack, as well as accuracy, compared to last season. Today, the head coach of the national team happened to be here, so I had a little chat with him before the game, and I think it would be okay to go (to the national team)."
