"Yoshito OKUBO"
"Everything has become half-hearted."
　Today's game is one where we have to score three points. However, our pressing is half-hearted and we are unable to make successful passes forward. The players at the back should also be feeling something. We need to coordinate better in order to succeed...

　If you go for points and end up conceding, it's still okay.
　Conceding 5 goals without even going to Kawasaki... I feel embarrassed.
　Passive, made mistakes, and kept falling from there.

(I played in a lower position in the final stage. As a result, it led to a goal, didn't it?)
Since I couldn't get the ball by playing upfront, I had no choice but to drop back.
　Received, sent out, and went inside.
　I played a play that I wanted everyone to do.

　Joining this team, everyone says "Let's change, let's change, we want to change."
　◈But it doesn't change at all. It's a waste if you don't challenge.
　Not only now, but also think about the future.
　If you can't challenge now, the future won't change. You have to accept that.

　There are 10 remaining league matches. Can we change in these 10 matches?
　"I want to convey that and pursue change."

"(We had a good start to the game, but conceding a goal early made it difficult. That's all I think...)"
That's all I think...

　Overall, we were often caught off guard and had our backs exposed to Kawasaki.
　There were times when the defense was short-handed, and even when they were sufficient, there were scenes where the opponent's shots were skillful and resulted in conceding goals.
　I was prepared for such a situation by becoming proactive, but I accepted it.
　We conceded a goal just when we thought we could defend until the end.

(Regarding the period after becoming a double pivot)
We may have disrupted the balance a little while trying to score points.
　It feels like we have been conceding goals repeatedly.
　There was no harvest today. I feel sorry for the fans and supporters, and I feel embarrassed and frustrated.
　After finishing the 1st match with a score of 0-2, there was still hope that Tokyo would turn it around, so I think the fans and supporters came to watch.
　"Rather than analyzing this play or that play... today, all of us feel frustrated and disappointed. Everyone must accept this result."

"Tokyo - Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference Summary"
"Today's game ended in a disappointing result."
The players gave us a good start to the game. However, we gave the opponent too much space by conceding a goal first.
Since Levain Cup has been eliminated, there is no excuse, but I think the players did well.
I apologize to all the fans and supporters for this result. We will lift our heads up together and prepare for the next match, so I hope you believe in us and support us.

《Q&A》
Q=Did you feel that the players seemed down after conceding a goal?
"The players were unsettled by conceding a goal first. I tried to calm them down, but conceding two goals immediately after gave the opponent even more space. As a result, I think the team lost its focus."

"Kawasaki - Toru Oniki's Press Conference Summary"
"It was really great that many supporters came even though it was an away game, and it was good that we were able to win and move on to the next stage."
The final score was 5-1, but it wasn't a good start to the game, so I think the biggest achievement today was being able to endure it.
However, I definitely want to eliminate the situation where we concede a goal at the end in the future.

《Q&A》
Q=What was the intention behind substituting players Inagaki and Taniguchi at halftime?
"I wanted to score an away goal, so even though we had consecutive matches, I decided to field Almir."
As a result, we were able to score an away goal in the first half, so I made a substitution.
Regarding Taniguchi, he was unable to play in the previous match due to injury, so I wanted to have him play in the next match.
I think various forms were made because the players scored points.

Q=What is the plan for entering the game?
"I expected the opponent to come forward, so I told them that it was okay to play without taking risks. As a result of that instruction, there were situations where the ball couldn't be connected and the number of people showing up in between decreased, so I felt the difficulty of how to speak and express."
However, I thought that it would definitely become an open development as time passed, so I think it is a gain that the players thought carefully and played during that time period."

Q=What is the evaluation of player Takumi ABE?
"He has outstanding decisiveness and I can appreciate the plays he made to make use of it."
I think there is more potential in the plays leading up to that point. I want them to increase plays received in between and continue to grow.
