"Takuya UCHIDA"
"In the first half, we connected passes at the back more often and were unable to move the ball forward."
The attack also became monotonous, easily losing the ball and having few attempts towards the goal.
In the second half, I entered as a defensive midfielder and was able to move the ball forward and connect passes. I also think we increased the number of times we went towards the goal.
Although we lost, we want to improve the areas that need improvement.
I think I need to talk to other players about the part of conceding goals.
I think the goal scenes were able to do well what we usually do in practice, including myself.

(What about the goal scene?)
We were prepared for the ball to reach Kubo player from the part where Suzuki player, who is known for his ability to pass vertically, puts the pass.
Recently, I haven't been able to produce results, so I'm glad I was able to score.

(I have been trying various positions.
In the second half, I played as a central midfielder, and I think I was able to do well in terms of my strengths, which is carrying the ball forward.)
Even when playing in a position other than defensive midfielder, it is necessary to bring the ball up to the shot and score, and I consider it as my own challenge.
I want to keep building and solving this challenge.

(What is your enthusiasm for the next match?)
We had been undefeated for the past 5 matches, but unfortunately, we lost this round.
I also want to focus on the results in the next match, and I want to focus on scoring goals, of course, I also want to improve the aspect of conceding goals and prepare to win at home.

Takefusa KUBO
"Today's game was a continuous pursuit of the opponent, and unfortunately we couldn't catch up until the end."

(1 goal and 2 assists, but looking back?)
The goal scene was from Ogawa's wonderful overlap, and I anticipated that the ball would come loose and ran, and the ball did come loose.
It was a lucky goal, but I'm glad I was able to score.
(What about assists?)
In the pre-match meeting, Coach Nakamura told us to be aware of the defensive aspects and the transition between offense and defense in order to participate in the game, so thanks to his advice, I was able to assist.
The second assist was when Suzuki received the ball and lifted his head, as he had been receiving many great passes since his U-18 days, so I prepared for it to come again this time, and a good ball came out.
In the previous scene, I couldn't face forward, so this time I was planning to face forward and compete, but Uchida's position was good, so I quickly switched.

(What are your thoughts on the next match?)
Since we can't afford to lose again, we want to win next week and carry that momentum into the following game."

"Summary of Manager Nakamura's Press Conference"

"Being able to play at a good stadium with young players."
And we are grateful for the support of many FC Tokyo fans and supporters who came to cheer.

In terms of the game, the start was not bad, but the opponent's amazing shot went in, and we became a bit sluggish afterwards, causing our attack to not click.

However, the players will make adjustments during halftime and show their attitude, the number of people going towards the goal, and the timing of their entry.
I was able to catch up by being conscious of accuracy.

However, there were still many personal mistakes, resulting in a rough game.
In the end, Gamba Osaka scored one more goal, and it was a very frustrating loss as it was a match between teams of the same generation. I felt that I need to strengthen myself more in the individual aspect.
