【Player/Coach Comments】
"Peter UTAKA"
"We made the game difficult due to our own mistakes."
However, in the second half, after I scored a goal, there was a feeling of "let's score another point!" and "let's turn the game around!".
They conceded a goal again from a mistake. It's frustrating and disappointing.
(Regarding goals)
Whenever I step onto the pitch, I always aim to build a solid combination and score.
When we scored, Nagai and Takahagi made a good play and gave me a good pass, so all I had to do was put it in.
I want to increase scenes like that.
(League 3 consecutive losses, but?)
When the situation becomes like this, everyone tends to lose confidence and the play itself becomes nervous.
Because of this situation, I want to play aggressively with confidence.
"I myself am an attacker, so I want to play more aggressively and create a lot of chances."
Kensuke NAGAI
"In the first half, it felt like it was only Kato-san and me attacking."
The distance feeling was bad and it was completely useless.
In the second half, Keigo Higashi came up close and we were able to create a rhythm with three people.
Yojiro-san also came up while maintaining balance, and I think that Keigo and Yoshito-san have become able to create situations where they receive between the opponents to some extent.
I myself wanted to push the opponent's line down, so I was trying to aim for the back more and more...
If Keigo and Yoshito can receive in between, they will also be able to shoot from the middle.
It would be good if we could create such a shape, but it will be tough unless we compact it together.
Even if you lose the ball, you need a sense of distance where everyone can defend immediately.
In the second half, the pressing from the front started to work.
I want to increase such scenes...
When losing streak continues and the situation becomes difficult, it becomes even more challenging when easy mistakes occur.
"We want to make corrections together."
"Tokyo - Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference Summary"
I am really sorry and frustrated that we lost in this way again at home. I feel sorry for showing such a disappointing sight to our fans and supporters.
The match was particularly painful, especially the second goal conceded. In order to score, we changed the system a bit and put more players up front. I think we did well to score one goal, but then we pushed too far forward and got caught on the counter. It's very disappointing because we were being cautious and still conceded a goal. The players are running well, but we can't break the cycle of conceding goals from mistakes, so we need to reevaluate.
There was a nervous play at the beginning, but that is also a part that cannot be allowed, so we want to verify it together with everyone."
《Q&A》
Q=Is it possible that not being able to start the second half well means we are unable to dispel the feeling of anxiety when we are losing?
"I didn't intend to send them out on the pitch like that, but there were just too many backward passes and I couldn't make any vertical passes."
It would have been good if we could have somehow recovered and ended the first half with a score of 0-1, but conceding a goal from a cross at that time was because we dropped back too much and the distance was too far.
Q=What were the factors that prevented Ogawa and Yanagi from receiving good balls on both sides?
"One was that the build-up speed was slow. And they also needed to take a higher position a little more. Especially Ogawa's way of starting the game was not good. I think losing the ball in the first play was a factor."
They took a high position and one of their aims was to cross the ball, but there were many tight spots in the build-up to that point. I think the distance between the three defenders and the inside half was not good.
"Summary of C Osaka Manager YOON Jong Hwan's Press Conference"
"We have had many good games recently, but we have been struggling to secure a victory. Before today's match, we talked about 'Today, let's express dedication and self-sacrifice on the pitch, just as we have done so far.' I think the players expressed themselves on the pitch. That led to this result."
And, the supporters always gave us a lot of encouragement, but today we were able to give them the gift of victory. I think all the players had the determination to win by any means necessary, and I think it worked well in both defense and offense, in every aspect.
"I think it is important to maintain this atmosphere and do my best to keep this atmosphere until the end of the season."
《Q&A》
Q=What is the evaluation of player Kakitani?
"We had various discussions individually, but he is making efforts to abandon his past self. He is trying to play for the team in any position with the intention of contributing. I highly appreciate that and I think it led to today's goal. I believe that he will continue to grow and show a good attitude."
Q=What is the evaluation of Shun YAMAGUCHI and Sugimoto players returning from the national team?
"I was worried about how fatigued I was. It was amazing to see myself taking the lead despite being tired. I think that attitude had a positive impact on the team."
Q=What is the intention behind Yamamura's position change?
"The opponent came at us aggressively, so we had the lead, but we wanted to stabilize our defense. However, dropping back in position didn't mean we became defensive, we changed positions to stabilize our defense and aim for goals on the counterattack."
