"Keigo HIGASHI"

"I think the first half was evenly matched. However, Shimizu had a faster start.
Because it was a home game, we had to do more. "We couldn't fight." I realize that we still lack strength."
 
"I want to reconsider what each person should do and organize what needs to be done and rebuild."
 
(What were the reasons for not being able to fight?)
"There is also a mental impact.
Not being able to win for a month and a half, it feels like we have lost confidence...
There are stresses and worries that we didn't feel when we were winning, and I think that is leading to hesitation in our play."
 
Working hard from practice, we want to regain our confidence together and once again create a "winning atmosphere" and become a strong team.

"Kiichi YAJIMA" 

(Before the match)
"We were two goals behind, but I felt that we didn't have enough shots as a team.
I also received instructions from the coach to become a target in the front line and enter the goal area from there.
I thought I would use my power to enter the goal area and score at least "one goal" by connecting with a cross.
I wish I could have shown more of my strengths..."
 
(Although it was a short time?)
"I want to become a FW who can score a "one-shot" even in a short time, because the starting players are working hard to tire out the opponent.
I still feel like I lack the ability."
 
"Today is a special day for the club. In the alumni game, I was able to see players I admired and coaches who taught me the joy of soccer on the pitch, which I also wanted to watch.
However, for me, being able to play in this match is a plus.
Scoring in a game like this is important for both me and the team, and I had a strong desire to do so."
 
(Role as a savior?)
"I don't want to be a "savior".
I just want to use my strengths and give my all to contribute to the team."
 
The situation continues to be difficult, but in times like this, young players can bring momentum and I want to do my best to attract those who can see that "something has changed".
I want to continue to approach with high motivation."

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary" 

"I feel really sorry for the fans and supporters who came to watch today.
The players couldn't fight. This is my responsibility as a coach.
I can't help but feel disappointed about why the game turned out like this.
The rain was the same for both teams, and the ball didn't move as much as in the previous match.
In that situation, with the 20th anniversary event being held and legends and fans and supporters coming, I wanted the players to show more passion and I had to make them show it.
In that sense, I wanted to put in players like Yonemoto and give the team a boost, but the crazy gears just couldn't come together until the end.
If we keep playing like this, we won't win anywhere.
Next week, we will train like crazy and fight with the players to get results before the break."

"Summary of Shimizu and Yang Yonson's Managerial Press Conference"

"Showed us a good performance in the game.
Looking back at the last two games, the Kashiwa and Gamba matches were also good, but there were also games where we couldn't get results.
Today we fought well. We can evaluate the players. I talked to the players about doing their basic roles well today.
If I were to compare it to a cake, I talked about making a solid foundation and then decorating it from there.
We have to play perfectly from the first minute to the end of the game.
The first five minutes of the previous match were not good, but today we fought well for 90 minutes. I think that's where we can be evaluated.
I also conveyed the same message to the players. That's why it was easy to remember, even though it's a bit long."
