【Player/Coach Comments】

"Takumi KOMATSU"
"It was good to score one point, but it would have been better if we could have taken additional points in the first half. That is the challenge."
The fact that we couldn't create many chances in the second half is also a challenge.
Among them, the defense conceded one goal, but I don't think it's a negative thing that they held on and secured a draw.

(There were no overage players?)
In the last three matches, we had overage players participating and achieved three consecutive victories. However, we wanted to prove that we can win even without overage players.
It was unfortunate that the match ended in a draw.

(What is your enthusiasm for this round?)
In the previous match, I watched from the bench and unfortunately lost 0-3 amidst players being sent off.
It was a very disappointing result.
I wanted to win, but I wish I could have repaid that debt.

(What about the goal scene?)
The pass connected well on the left side and came to me in a good position.
When I received it, I had already decided to shoot forward.
I hit the opponent, but I'm glad it worked out.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next game?)
Today, despite the typhoon, many fans and supporters came from Tokyo.
Next is our home game, and I want to deliver a victory in front of many fans and supporters at our home.

"Go HATANO Player"
"We conceded a goal at the start of the second half and ended up being pushed back for the rest of the half."
We were hit by many shots, but in the next game, I want to coach so that we won't be hit by shots and protect the goal.

(Did you change your mindset depending on the wind direction?)
In the second half, we had a headwind, so I was particularly aware of the fact that long balls would not travel as far as they did during the warm-up stage.
Also, I always made sure to be prepared because there was an impression that they actively took shots.

(There were many good defenses, right?)
I always prepare from practice, so I think the results showed.

(Message to the fans and supporters who came to Okinawa)
I'm not sure if the return flight will take off, but I hope you safely return to Tokyo.
And above all, thank you very much for your strong support in this weather.

"Summary of Coach Tadashi NAKAMURA's Press Conference"
"When I arrived at the game venue in very bad weather, there were many Tokyo fans and supporters."
I expressed my gratitude and told the players to take the points and go home.

I conveyed the message to be proactive in the first half, where we stood against the wind.
Since we lost the previous match 0-3, we really wanted to take the points this time, so the players gave it their all.
As planned, we were able to score one goal in the first half, but compared to the past three matches, it seems that either because there are no overage players or because we lack strength.
Our attacking time has become shorter as time goes by.
That part still needs to continue to grow in strength.

In the second half, where we were against the wind, our team defended well and managed to hold off the opponent's fierce attacks until the end with just one goal conceded.
If it's a few games before, when we play with only young members like today, we tend to concede goals continuously, starting from one goal and then three or four goals, especially from set plays.
That was a part where I felt the players' growth by overcoming that.
