"Kensuke NAGAI player"

I scored my first goal of the season. Please let me know your thoughts.
"In the previous match against G Osaka, I had chances but couldn't score. And in today's game, I missed a clear opportunity at the beginning, so I'm honestly relieved to have scored."

(The scoring scene was when Takahagi passed to Higashi and Nagai scored a goal. What did you focus on in your movement?)
"There were several scenes where Higashi made a run behind the opponent's defense as the third player. After that, I had the image of receiving a pass, so I think that intention led to today's goal."

（I am focusing on making intense presses from the front line and making runs behind the opponent's defense. What I am conscious of is)
"By making runs behind the defense, I can make the opponent's defensive line drop. If midfielders like Higashi and Omori move forward into that space, they can create attacking opportunities. I am aware of creating space behind me in this way."

(Future enthusiasm)
"Kashima and C Osaka are teams that will push into the top. I think it will be a tough match, but I believe that by winning against strong teams, our ranking will also improve. I want the team to come together as one and prepare."

"Sei MUROYA"

(It was a 5-2 victory. Looking back on today's game)
"I think it was very good that we were able to score two goals early on. Even during the time when we were pushed back after conceding a goal, we all worked hard and were able to fight, which I think led to the additional goals later on."

During the time when we were pushed back in Nagasaki, what were you conscious of on the pitch?
"Since our attack was going well, instead of changing something, we encouraged each other to continue playing our own soccer patiently. It was good that we were able to imagine that as a team."

（Active participation in attacks on the side was noticeable）
"In previous matches, I felt like I was conscious of the defensive part a lot. I have received instructions from the coach to 'keep attacking vertically' and attacking is also my strength, so I want to continue doing it with the confidence I have built up."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's Press Conference"

"I think the players fought well until the end and really concentrated. I want to express my gratitude to the many fans and supporters who came from Tokyo to Nagasaki and created a very good atmosphere. We talked about using the lesson from losing to Sendai in the Levain Cup and applying it to today's match. We had the motivation for the Levain Cup, but there were also parts where the team didn't function well. Today, we entered the game firmly and achieved results, so I really think the players did a great job."

However, we have been conceding goals from set pieces or mistakes after scoring two goals, so I think that is an area we need to work on in the future. We have a home game against Kashima Antlers in two days, so I want to switch our mindset and prepare properly again.

《Q&A》
Q=The score has changed significantly, what are your thoughts on the way the game is being played, coach?
"Of course, there were times when Nagasaki was on the offensive, but there were also moments where we couldn't hold our ground. Naturally, challenges arise throughout the season, and we are committed to addressing those challenges sincerely. Through experiences gained from matches like this, I believe we can make use of them when faced with similar situations. If we don't narrow the gap to two points, we won't be able to accumulate that kind of experience, and it's not easy to create such situations. I think the players have learned in a positive way, so we want to make sure to utilize that experience firmly in the upcoming matches and beyond."

"Summary of Nagasaki Takuya Takagi's press conference"

"I think there were moments where we felt the difference in strength. Normally in games like this, we would respond as a group rather than individually, but today there were many scenes where we tried to break through individually for the first time this season, and we couldn't break through as a group on both offense and defense. Even against balls coming from behind, I think that as members of FC Tokyo today, we had imagined that the ball would come in at this timing, but we couldn't respond to it during the game."
It is natural for any game to be difficult regardless of which team we play against, but not being able to fight as a group made it even more challenging. It is a positive aspect that we scored 2 goals and created other chances, but we couldn't finish the scene of scoring another goal in a situation where we should have been patient, and ended up not being able to finish it.
However, I was prepared for such games in the league, so I want to prepare for the next game based on that.

"Q&A"
Q=The discussion was about not being able to endure where you should endure and not being able to decide where you should decide. What do you want to do in training to cover those areas where you are one step short?"
"We only have two days until the next game, so I think we have no choice but to watch the footage and have various discussions with the players in order to restore our condition. That will be the training for the next game."
