[Player and Coach Comments]

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI Player"
(It was a game where hard work stood out)
"We were able to give our all as a team. It was a difficult game, but I think the fact that we were able to fight together as one team was the key to victory."

(I think there were also many injured players. How did you feel playing?)
"I played carrying the thoughts of the players who couldn't stand on the pitch. I think it's a total team effort from here, so I want to continue this."

(We ended the first game after the resumption with a good result)
"I really thought today's game after the break was very important. I want to build momentum from here and approach the second half of the season."

"Takuji YONEMOTO Player"
(What is the pain in the side?)
"It hurts (laughs)"

(Did you have confidence that you could do it?)
"For me, there was only this game as a chance, so I didn't want to miss it."
"I think it was good that we were able to secure 3 points because I approached the game with the feeling that I didn't want to lose when there were no regular members who are always present."

(In the second half, I especially put my body on the line)
"I think it's the result of always being prepared, and I think if I don't do it there, I won't be able to play in the game, so I was exhausted but I did my best."

(Achieved 200 matches)
"It was a long 200 matches. Looking back now, I have the feeling that I was able to play 200 matches despite having 3 major injuries.
But I am truly happy that I was able to participate in 200 matches with this team alone."
"I don't think there are many players who can play for one team for a long time."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's press conference"
"I think the players fought tenaciously until the end in a tough team composition. Many fans and supporters came to support us even away from home, and they gave the players a boost. The goal was an own goal, but we talked about the need to break through the sides, which we couldn't do in the first half, and to increase the number of attempts in the second half. Keigo (Higashi)'s cross ball was good, and Togashi (Cayman) made a good run in the right place. I think that's what led to the own goal."
After that, even the players who came on as substitutes fought very well, and I think today's victory will be a significant one in many ways.
In 3 days, we will be playing against Yokohama F.Marinos (our next opponent), but it seems like they scored 8 points today, so we need to prepare well and fight against this strong opponent.


"Q&A"
Q=I think every team considers the resumption of the game as an important match. What words did you say to the players in preparation for the resumption? And what is the value of today's 3 points?"
"In a long season, players who cannot participate in matches due to various reasons such as injuries and illnesses will emerge."
Among them, it is very significant that Ogawa (Ryoya), who played in a new position for the first time in today's match, and Okazaki (Makoto), who also played in the match, concentrated until the end and played including Okubo (Takuo) who started for the first time this season.
I think it's difficult to win a game with just a fixed 11 or 12 players. Today, fresh players came out and contributed to the victory in the league match, and I think it will be a strength for the team in the future.
From the next match, new players will join and injured players are also recovering, so we want to have a good competition and prepare for the next match.

"Summary of Kashiwa Nozomu KATO's press conference"
"It's frustrating that we couldn't win despite being able to play at home after the league resumed. We need to keep moving forward."

《Q&A》
Q=What was the reason for having to give such instructions for two consecutive matches, aiming to increase the tempo in attack, similar to the Yamagata match?
"I think there was an intention to make the ball gather more as a team even in the midfield and to make it faster, but it didn't work well."
