"Kensuke NAGAI"

(Was scoring a goal at Toyota Stadium a good feeling?)
"I was happier to contribute to the team's victory by scoring the second goal, rather than just scoring at Toyota Stadium while the team was struggling to win."

(The team achieved their first victory in 9 games)
"Now that we've finally come out of a long tunnel, I want to work hard to continue winning."

(Received a ball from player Higashi during the goal scene, dodged the DF and scored beautifully)
"I was able to face forward and was planning to make a move and swing my leg. It flew in a good direction and became an additional point, which was great."

(What was the key to today's victory?)
"We were able to play aggressive defense from the front and have players coming out from the back, going back to our roots. We were able to play the same kind of soccer that led us to our winning streak, so we want to continue with everyone."

(The desire to win from the players on the pitch was strongly conveyed today)
"Last match, I think our mentality was lacking a bit. Today, our mentality was there and everyone gave 100% from the start. The coach also said those words, so we were able to do it together."

(We have come back to the position where we can aim for ACL with today's victory)
"We want to work hard again as a team with that as our goal."

(For the next match)
"I will score again and do my best to help the team win."

"Kotaro OMORI"

(First goal after transfer)
"I'm really happy!"

(Please review the scoring scene)
"Diego OLIVEIRA player turned forward with individual skill, I was just running and just had to match it. Nagai player was also a decoy in front, and I think it was a very beautiful goal."

(He ran very well throughout the match. Did he have any special feelings today?)
"Not really special feelings, but I always try to enter the match with a calm mind, and I'm glad I was able to score today."

(Away Nagoya 4 consecutive goals)
"I have the impression that I have decided it somehow, but I was not conscious of it too much."

(Looking forward to the Cerezo match)
"We lost away, so in that sense we have to win at home, so we want to do our best not to waste today's victory."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I have nothing to say today. I think the players fought really well, and above all, I'm glad we were able to give the fans and supporters a victory as a present."


Q=I think we didn't give the opponent the pace with early pressure from the start of the first half, but was that intentional?
"After the previous match, we trained for a week to figure out what our strengths were. We were able to utilize the abilities of Nagai and Diego OLIVEIRA to apply pressure vertically with the combined force of the two."
I think we were able to fight without losing our concentration even in the second half, and it became a valuable victory that we finally grasped in a difficult situation.

"Nagoya - Coach Yahiro Kazama Press Conference Summary"

"It took a little time for us to play at our own rhythm from the beginning. After that, I think the players had the ability to gradually play at their own rhythm, but really, a momentary light play in the 90-minute game decided everything. It was very disappointing in that aspect. However, I hope the players realize that they should never let their guard down for even a second, or even if they didn't let their guard down, they shouldn't make such plays."

Q: Did the game plan change due to Miyahara's injury and can you please provide information about his condition to the extent possible?
"I don't know the extent of the injury. I haven't heard much about it, but I don't think it's a minor one. The game plan will definitely change, but there are also some players who are not in their best condition, and there are players who are suspended, so I wanted him to play for as long as possible. However, other players are also training, so I didn't think the game plan would change that much. On the contrary, we were able to create some good opportunities from there, so it can also be seen as a positive in terms of improving the team's strength. It's very unfortunate about the player's injury, but I want to take a positive view of everything else."
