"Kento HASHIMOTO player"

(Reflecting on today's match)
"It was a challenging match, but I think we were able to enter the game with a strong defensive mindset, which allowed us to keep a clean sheet. It's frustrating that we couldn't score, but I believe it was a valuable point gained."

（What did you focus on during the times when you couldn't create a rhythm in the attack and had to be patient?)
"We all made an effort to quickly switch after losing the ball. By switching quickly, there weren't many situations where we had to defend against Kobe's counterattacks."
'I was able to play with the awareness of "First, defense".' I think the team as a whole was able to unify their defensive consciousness."

（Next section, towards the Kawasaki match）
"It's a top match, and I think the opponent will come with momentum. We don't have much time with consecutive matches, but I want to prepare properly. I think many fans and supporters will come, so I want to have a good game and win."

"Yuichi MARUYAMA player"

It was a draw with a score of 0-0. Looking back on the game, it was a closely contested match and it was difficult to hear the players' voices due to the large number of spectators. I want to take the positive aspect of being able to secure at least 1 point away. It would have been good to score from a set piece and win, but I want to continue playing solidly and carry this 1 point forward in the future.

(It's been a while since we had a clean sheet)
"Although the opponent had more possession of the ball, I think it was because all the players were able to play with their bodies on the line without getting frustrated that we were able to keep a clean sheet today. I think it's a point we earned by fighting together."

(I continued to have matches against tall players. What did you feel as a defender?)
"I didn't win in every situation, but I tried to increase my winning percentage in each situation. The players I faced were all highly skilled, so I want to use this experience in the next match."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's Press Conference"

"I think it's good to have one point today. All teams have a tight schedule, but the players were more fatigued from consecutive matches than I expected. In that situation, I think it's very positive that we were able to patiently fight and bring one point back to Tokyo away from home, and it's been a while since the defense has been able to hold up well.
Ideally, since there were many set plays in this game, if we can start scoring from set plays in this kind of game situation, it will make a little difference. That is something we want to work on as a future challenge."

"Q&A"
We played against Kobe Univ, who had 17 goals and a strong attack, and managed to keep a clean sheet. What were the factors that prevented them from scoring?"
"In the previous match, Joe (Nagoya) was there and scored a goal from a very high header. In today's game, the defense line was solid and able to challenge and cover well. Wellington is also a very strong player and had a few dangerous balls, but Maru (Maruyama) responded well. I think Morishige also stayed focused and responded until the end."

"Summary of Kobe Manager Takayuki Yoshida's Press Conference"

"Throughout the game, there were both good plays and bad plays.
To some extent, we countered several times in the scene where the opponent's characteristic of strong defense and quick attack came from within our possession of the ball, but in the end, everyone put in a great effort and I think they did well.
As for our attack, I think we have become able to bypass the opponent's press to some extent. However, today we lacked the power in the attacking third in the last three minutes.
We need to show more determination to score by getting into the area and we also need to put crosses in more dangerous areas.
We were a little lacking in those plays."
