"Sei MUROYA"
"It was tough..."
I knew it would be a difficult game because it was too hot, so we didn't take too many risks in the first half.

In the second half, we had more attacking opportunities, and Lins and Ryo Nagai came on as substitutes, which I thought was a threat to the opponent.
'Attack!' The message from the coach was also understood by everyone.
I want to continue playing games like this, where we work hard until the end and fight until the end, in every match.

I am grateful to be able to play in such an environment where there is tremendous support from the warm-up.
Thanks to Kobe MF Iniesta, but I also hope that you come to watch us next time."

"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
"While fighting with patience, I will press forward whenever possible. The team currently has a good balance. If we can defend well today and successfully pass the ball to the front line, the attacking unit will"

I thought you would score a goal.
The difficult situation continued, but we were conscious of not conceding goals first and foremost as a defense.
I feel that it is good to be able to win like this and have a good cycle.

(Although the number of spectators was 44,801?)
With so many fans gathering, I believe we were able to demonstrate our potential.
We want to continue winning and performing well so that many of you will come to watch.

(Previously, we often drew or lost in front of a large audience, right?)
It is really important to win in such matches.
I am fighting with the feeling of wanting to change history little by little, and the belief that it can be changed.

"Summary of Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA Coach's Press Conference"

"I think we were able to present a victory to all the fans and supporters who came to watch us in the hot weather because the players did well."
It was a tough battle from the first half, but we were able to calmly observe the opponent's weaknesses and gradually bring the game to our own pace.
In the end, it became a back-and-forth counterattack, and both teams were dragging on. However, the substitute players worked hard and we were able to achieve victory with the overall strength of the team, which was really good.
We need to switch gears right away and start preparing for the Gamba match.

"Q&A"
Q=I cut the first card quickly, but what was the reason?
"Tanabe player was quite tired. He performed well in the match with only 3 days of rest, and he also contributed with many sprints. However, in the second half, it was noticeable that he couldn't run well during the transition between offense and defense. So, I thought it would bring stability to the team if I substituted Higashi player earlier, and I made the substitution at an early timing."

Q=After the transfer to Tokyo, Omori moved to the left, and the left side became more active.
"I think Omori was able to change at just the right time because he can play on both the left and right sides, and he was feeling a bit cramped playing on the right side today."

Q=What is the evaluation of Lins?
"We reinforced our team in the summer, expecting them to perform well in the final stages."
I think one of the reasons he quickly fit into the team is because he had experience in the J-League with Gamba Osaka and Kofu, and also because of his personality.

"Summary of Kobe Yoshida Takayuki's press conference"
"We played a very disappointing game as a home team in a match where so many fans gathered away. Throughout the 90 minutes, we couldn't play the football we wanted to. We need to switch gears and focus on the next game."

《Q&A》
Q: There was movement in the second half. However, was it still not enough?
"We had to make some changes because the first half wasn't good. We brought in new players like Furuhashi and had a few chances at the beginning of the second half. I think there was some improvement."

Q=What was the reason for not going well? The influence of consecutive games? "The situation was that everyone was exhausted in the end. It may be related to physical condition, but if we had been smarter in possessing the ball from the first half, the defense would have functioned as well. On the contrary, because the defense was not good, the attack did not function either. Both were bad. Especially in the first half, Wellington was isolated, and that also led to physical exhaustion."

Q=What is the evaluation of new player Kogashi Kengo? "There have been some plays and scenes as expected, even though it has only been 2 days since he joined the practice. I think there is still potential for more expectations in the future."
