《Ryoya OGAWA》

"As a team, in the first half, we were often pushed back by the opponent and couldn't play our good football."
I think it was very good that our physical activity increased from the middle of the second half, we had more opportunities to break through, and as a result, we were able to catch up from 0-2 to 2-2.

As an individual, there are still many areas that are lacking, and I think there were situations where I could have adjusted the crosses more to my teammates.
I always think that I have to produce results.

(How did the team change from the first half to the second half?) Anyway, we entered the game with the consciousness of trying to be stronger in terms of not letting the opponent break through our defense and also in terms of winning the ball.
I think we gradually became able to pick up loose balls and second balls, and from there we were able to dictate the pace of the game.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
Even though we have played well in the last two matches, we have only been able to earn 1 point.
I want to make the next match a game where we can secure 3 points firmly.
Also, we would like to express our gratitude to all the fans and supporters who fought together with us today in the hot weather.
Thank you for your continued support in the next match.

"In the first half, we lost in all the ball contests and one-on-one situations, and we couldn't take control."
In the second half, the attack gained depth by becoming more conscious of moving forward and winning the ball, and I was able to score following Insoo YU, which was good.
However, it was significant that we were able to score, but I am not satisfied with the rest of the plays.
I hope we can make more chances besides scoring, and I hope we can play a little better in both attack and defense.
We are particularly focused on shooting practice, so we want to emphasize scoring.

(What is the difference between the first half and the second half?)
During halftime, Coach Nakamura spoke to us and everyone's mindset changed.
Each individual has become more aggressive in approaching the ball, and I think the feeling of not giving up has emerged.

(Looking back on the first goal of this season)
At first, I thought about breaking through with a one-two pass with player Kobayashi (Miki), but there was a vertical opening in the course from player Suzuki, so I received the ball.
I was able to calmly shoot because I was able to avoid the opponent with a trasta.

（What are your thoughts for the next match?）
I was able to score my first professional goal, so I want to continue scoring goals with this momentum.
I want to create chances in attack and reduce the goals conceded in defense this round.

"Summary of Manager Nakamura's Press Conference"

"Thank you to all the fans and supporters who cheered us on with a loud voice despite the extremely hot weather."
Also, I would like to express my gratitude for fighting together until the very end.

Regarding the match, it was a very disappointing game.
Fukushima-san was definitely fighting with all their might from the start of the game and playing good football.
Fortunately, we were able to hold off the goals with only 2 points conceded, and in the end, we were able to score 2 points with some chances and catch up.
I think it was a really simple game.

I feel that the attitude of winning the ball, switching, and heading towards the goal was honestly much inferior in Tokyo.
I also told the players the same thing, but considering that we couldn't do what we did in the previous match, it was a very disappointing game.

However, I think that the fact that we were able to hold back the goals to just 2 points and then score 2 points in the end, and the part where we were able to fight without giving up, will be a positive factor for the future.
