[Player and Coach Comments]

Taichi HARA
"In the second half, Toyama took the lead, and as a team, we were determined to make a strong comeback in the game."
I'm really glad we were able to win in a come-from-behind victory.

(The new system was 3-5-2, but has anything changed from before?)
In terms of defense, the coordination is good, and I personally feel that it is a very easy system to play in.

(Reflecting on my own play)
In the first half, I was able to create opportunities, but there were many mistakes.
I made an effort to make corrections and play carefully during the game.
I would like to continue firmly in the future because we were able to score in the second half.

(Reviewing the scoring scene)
Thanks to player Kobayashi, who firmly passed the ball behind the defense, I was able to calmly observe the movements of the opposing goalkeeper.
I'm glad I was able to smoothly slide the ball into the goal with my left foot.

(Is it a lot of exercise?)
I try to eat and sleep well before the game because I am the type who can run relatively well in the second half if I move firmly from the first half.

(It was my first goal in my first start)
As a FW, I think it is important to play in the game from the start.
I am genuinely happy to have started this time and scored a goal.

Please send a message to the next game.
Since it is a home game, I will practice hard and do my best to improve our ranking even a little bit.
Thank you for your support, fans and supporters, today as well.

《Takumi KOMATSU player》
"We were all thinking as a team about how much we can compete against Toyama, who is currently in 2nd place in the J3 League, and how we can achieve victory in that."
Everyone fought with all their might from the first half, but the situation continued where they couldn't quite seize the opportunity.
In the second half, when I had the opportunity to play in a situation where we were one goal behind, I entered the pitch with a strong determination to lead the team to victory.
It was a very good result that led to a come-from-behind victory.

(Did you have any specific instructions when you were substituted in?)
The coach instructed me to score a goal when I entered the field as a FW. I'm glad I was able to actually achieve it.

(Today, I scored 1 goal and made 1 assist. Please take a look back at the goal scene)
As Ogawa had the ball, I felt that a cross would come in, so I went into the goal area.
I was a little late to enter, so the timing didn't match, but I tried to respond to the second ball.
Then, the loose ball came to me at the right time, so I just pushed it into the goal without thinking about anything else.

(This is the 50th goal for FC Tokyo U-23. Were you aware of it?)
I knew that if I scored a goal today, it would be my 50th goal in total.
I had forgotten the moment I scored a goal, but I am honored to have scored a milestone goal of 50 goals in total.

How was the scene of the assist?
When I turned forward, Mr. Hara had made a good start, so I thought if I could pass from the side, Mr. Hara would definitely score.
I was a little forceful, but I was able to do a job that led to a goal, so I'm glad.

(The other day, I was called up to the Japan national team for the first time. Did you gain anything from it?)
Since the Japan national team has a short period of time to gather with teammates, there are difficult aspects in terms of coordination, but I feel that I need to acquire the ability to break through as an individual within that.
I think it was very good to be able to achieve a result of 1 goal and 1 assist in today's match among such circumstances.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
Today, thank you to all the fans and supporters who have come to Toyama.
I hope we can deliver victory to more people by playing at home in the next match.
Thank you for your continued support.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"

"We discussed being proactive from the start."
I was conscious not to get too relaxed because the break was long.
I thought we would attack from here and created 2-3 chances in the first 10 minutes, but we couldn't convert them into goals.
From there, the opponent's pressure increased, our mistakes also increased, and there were scenes of panic, making it a difficult period.

In the second half, there were some good moments, but there were still many areas that were lacking, and we conceded goals from the opponent's pace.
In particular, we were robbed of a set play that we had been paying attention to since before the game.

However, everyone ran well until the end, fought, picked up loose balls, and dove for crosses.
I think the players were able to continue these promises, take two points, and fight tenaciously, and I think they have gained strength.

Finally, when I entered the Toyama ground today, I heard that there were about 150 people, and I think that the fact that they gave us strong support until the end, finally led us to score without stopping our feet.
I think it was great that we were able to share joy together.
