"Shoya NAKAJIMA"
(The score was 0-1. Please share your thoughts on the game)
"Although I had a short playing time as a substitute player, it is natural for me. I wish I could have scored that shot, but I will accept it and strive to perform well in Portugal."

(What comes to mind when you look back on playing in Tokyo?)
"Playing with top players in Japan and being surrounded by amazing teammates and staff in Tokyo, being able to play soccer every day, it is a good memory."

(Message to the fans and supporters)
"They always support us greatly, and it becomes our strength. I hope they continue to believe in the players and support us in any situation."

Takahiro YANAGI
(It was my J1 League debut match)
I think I was able to play a little more calmly compared to when I experienced the Levain Cup, but it was still a difficult match for me. From the beginning of the match, my body felt a little different from usual, and at first, it felt stiff. As the match progressed, I got used to the game and was able to gradually show my play, but I still felt that I have a lot to improve in terms of defense. The quality of the opponent's attack is very high compared to J3, and there were scenes where I was beaten many times, so I want to be more conscious of it in future practices and be able to respond to any opponent.

(The first play was able to take the ball from the chest trap to the cross, but)
"It was big that I was able to create such a form, receiving the ball in front and ultimately being cut off. It was my role to run and receive the ball in front, and I think it was big that I was able to do that first."

(Was there any nervousness in the part about J1 debut?)
"Yes, there was. It was a league match that I had always aimed for, so I had strong feelings, and I was a little nervous."

(The player who matched up was Satoru NOZUE, but was it difficult?)
"He is a top-level player even in the J-League, so I was looking forward to matching up with such a player. However, I was beaten many times. He is a really scary player who attacks every time he has the ball, but I think it was a big experience to be able to have that. When we face each other next time, I want to play with the mindset of stopping him completely, just like today."

"Summary of Yoshiyuki SHINODA's press conference"
"The game went as expected, but I am very sorry to have disappointed the supporters by losing to Marinos in the end. I am deeply reflecting on it. The game was about how to break down the solid Marinos defense, the approach to defense, and the ability to make successful tackles. We had chances, but what we lack at the moment is the patience to keep a clean sheet and score one goal to win. It's easy to say, but I really feel that we are lacking in that area. There were certainly many good aspects, but being able to capitalize on those opportunities is also a turning point in the game. Whether we can endure and bring the game to our pace is another turning point in the game, and I think we have had many such games this season. We also have the Levain Cup in three days, so I want to go there with the players and show what kind of motivation and performance we can bring."

"Q&A"
Q: Is it safe to say that the expected outcome is a close match with a score of 0-0 or 1-1?
"Well, when playing against Marinos, just like last time, it becomes a game with a one-point difference, and Marinos is very defensively solid. We have been working hard in training this week on how to break through their defense and avoid conceding goals on the counter. In that aspect, it went as expected. When the opponent built up their play, our defensive midfielder Kida dropped back, the full-backs pushed forward, and Saito and Martino moved inside. Tokyo was able to execute smooth exchanges without confusion. However, we couldn't score a goal. Of course, not everything goes perfectly every time, but the game unfolded somewhat as we anticipated. Marinos are up there in the standings, and it made us realize once again that we are lacking in certain areas."

Q=How can we stop Yokohama F.Marinos from launching sharp counters multiple times in the second half?
"At the moment when the cross was put in, there was a change, and at the kickoff, Yanagi had his legs taken by Saito and a corner kick was taken, but we were pushed in during that time. We talked about making a solid start, but Ogawa and Yanagi were both forward. Also, in the defense of the cross, I became a ball watcher, and it is true that I was late in that situation, so we gave them two scoring opportunities, and we still have a long way to go. On the other hand, we also created two scoring opportunities in the first half, but the development will change depending on whether we can finish them off or not, and during the 10 minutes in the second half where we were pushed in a little after the start, it is true that our quality and strength did not improve. I am very reflective."

"Nakajima will be leaving the team today, but we really wanted to send him off in a good way. All the players and staff are praying for his future success. Please continue to support him. Thank you very much."

"Yokohama FM Erick Mombaerts Coach Press Conference Summary"
"In the first half, we couldn't fully control the game. We were losing the ball too quickly. However, we were able to defend without allowing the opponent to score."
It's the part where we switch to defense, but this is always a place where we can make good plays, so today, that switch wasn't going well in the first half. And we gave FC Tokyo several counter-attack opportunities. However, the players were able to make adjustments and enter the second half. I think we were able to show that mental strength.
In the second half, we were able to control the game more than in the first half. We had more time to play in the opponent's territory and were able to earn many corner kicks. We created several good chances, but were unable to score.
The only thing left was to bring about a change in the situation through player substitutions. We had planned for this point as well, so we were able to bring about a change there. I think VIEIRA's goal was fantastic. However, this goal was born from the fantastic movement of Senohara before it.
To continue the current battle for the top, I think it is important for us to continue this momentum by not losing in the next 14 matches. To continue this fight against top-level teams in the J-League, mental strength is necessary. I want to commend the players who have shown this aspect. I also want to express my gratitude to the fans and supporters who are supporting the players.

《Q&A》
Q=Currently, Yokohama F.Marinos has the fewest goals conceded in the J-League and their defense is excellent. In that regard, isn't it true that Ze Mario and Hinata KIDA are doing a great job in the midfield?
"Regarding the defense of this duo, both of them have a high level of athleticism, which contributes to the team. They also fulfill the role of maintaining balance during transitions and switches."

Q=What about the shape of Yokohama F.Marinos' chances? They have a lot of counterattacks, but what about that point?
"Certainly, chances were created on the counter today. One factor was that FC Tokyo had a 5-3-2 defensive block, making it very difficult to break through with slow attacks. Even so, our left side was functioning to some extent, but the right side was not functioning well today."
The speed of ball movement needed to be faster today. But the second half was better than the first half. However, we need to continue improving for the future.

Q=In the first half, it was said that the transition of defense did not go well, but it seemed that the part where KIDA and Ogihara pressed did not go well. What was the cause of that?
"We will need to analyze and confirm with video, but based on what I am feeling right now, it may be because we were not able to play aggressively in the zone where we lost the ball. We gave the opponent speed there."
