[Player and Coach Comments]

"Cayman TOGASHI"
(It was a splendid equalizing goal. How do you look back on it?)
"I was just careful about the timing to jump in because Muraya was carrying the ball in a free state."
"A really good ball came and all I had to do was hit it, so it was good that it went in."

(I felt like we were playing more intensely than usual)
We were all talking about expressing what we were able to do in the first half of the game through our play.
The start was a bit vague and we were scored against, but afterwards, I think we were able to show aggressiveness from the front line.
"It was good that we were able to win by a come-from-behind victory."

(Towards the Kobe match)
"It is important to win the next game as we have consecutive matches."
"We want to prepare together for the team's victory."

"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
(It was a victory with a score of 2-1. Looking back on the game)
"We were pushed back by the opponent at the beginning of the first half, but as time passed, we were able to push back."
We conceded a goal, but it was crucial that we were able to equalize within the first half. After catching up to a tie, I think we were able to show our resilience.
The player who came on as a substitute scored the winning goal, so today we were able to win with our overall strength.

(Looking ahead)
"We must continue to win. I don't think we should be satisfied just because we won one or two games. I want us to keep winning by building up together."
"I want to show a more ambitious attitude towards winning."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's Press Conference"

"The players recovered well from the previous defeat and fought in today's match."
I'm really glad that I was able to give a victory to many Tokyo fans and supporters.
The start was not bad, but there was a period of time when the pressure was weak and we couldn't take the ball away. But I think the players' switch turned on because we conceded a goal.
After that, there were few pinches, and although we didn't get hit there, the opponent is also a team that can score a goal, so I thought that if we continued to go along with their rhythm, we would eventually be defeated. I was thinking that we had to make a move somewhere.
In that sense, Ryo NAGAI and Lins, who came on as substitutes, did their job well.
I think we need to use the three-day preparation period to switch gears and prepare for the home game against Kobe, as there is a flow from the previous two matches.

《Q&A》
Q=The substitute player made an impact in the remaining 15 minutes after being substituted in at the 30th minute of the second half.
"The starting two forwards played aggressively. Thanks to that, it was clear to see that Kashima's center-backs were exhausted. In such a situation, we were able to seize our chances and get the job done. Although the second half of the season has just begun, I think we were able to achieve a very significant comeback victory."

"Summary of Kashima Go OIWA's Press Conference"
"We took the lead in a good way, but we conceded a goal that gave the opponent momentum from the middle of the second half, and it became a game where we couldn't push back easily."
However, the players showed an aggressive attitude, so I want to evaluate them thoroughly and move on to the next step.

Q=There was no rotation of players compared to Tokyo. Did you feel any difference in the physical weight and condition of the players?
"I don't think the difference in condition was the reason, but the opponent was faster in closing down the ball, so it's regrettable that we couldn't get past that. We need to improve the precision when we have the ball even more."
