"Kotaro OMORI"
"I think we were able to show various attacking patterns, such as breaking through the center and starting from the sides."
　Everyone was fully committed and we were able to show aggressiveness towards the goal along with a balance between offense and defense.
　It was just a matter of making the final decision...
　However, I think we shouldn't rush here.
　I want to believe in what we have been working on as a team and think positively.
　I want to prepare to win the last two matches with confidence, just like today's battle.

Kosuke OTA
"It's really frustrating that we couldn't get 3 points despite creating so many chances."
　The team's way of fighting was good, and the goal difference was also kept at zero.
　There may have been remaining challenges in terms of the final accuracy and intensity...
　There was a feeling of looking down in the locker room after the game, but we talked about switching together.

　Because the "possibility" is not lost yet.
　I will have a two-week break, but I want to channel the frustration of not winning today into the next two matches.

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"

"It was a game we wanted to win."
The players played towards the opponent's goal until the very end.
Although there were situations where we conceded goals carelessly, I truly appreciate that the team remained focused until the end and created numerous opportunities.
Kawasaki's victory has been decided, and there are still chances to qualify for the ACL as there is a 2-point difference with Kashima in the last 2 matches. I want to prepare well and win against the reigning champion Kawasaki in the next match. It is also the final home game, so I want to fight to end it in a good way."

 
Q=What did you think about the substitution card?

"It was a very good game in terms of content, but not moving until about 25 minutes into the second half would have been pointless if we had disrupted the balance by making player substitutions and our attack had also deteriorated. In that sense, there is no doubt that it was a very difficult game."
Of course, there was an option to substitute Diego as the first player.
However, since he has been performing well as the ace throughout the season, I believed in him and did not substitute him until the end.
There were also opportunities created from the combination of Lins and Diego, but we expected plays like that and brought in Lins.
From around the 35th minute, Diego's power started to decline, so in the last 10 minutes, Ryo Nagai and Yajima were brought in and we bet on one shot.
Today's game was a development where we dominated the sides, were able to break through, and had crosses coming in, so I had high hopes for Yajima's shot.
However, in such a lively development, there are often moments when we are caught off guard, but I believe that they played with concentration until the end.

"Iwata - Manager Hiroshi NANAMI Press Conference Summary"

"For about 15 minutes from the start, we were able to pick up second balls and the players' distance was very good, and we were able to control the game at our own pace."
However, as the game progressed, our movements after pressuring and stealing the ball became faster, but our defense started to feel heavy. Nevertheless, I think we were able to avoid conceding goals by a narrow margin.
The failure of the PK, which will be one of the key points of this game, is of course significant, and it is also significant that Kaminski made a series of fine saves in the second half and ended the game with zero goals conceded. It was a hard-fought and patient victory, earning 1 point.
I admit that Tokyo definitely lost 2 points, but I also think that we gained a significant 1 point towards remaining in the difficult away environment.
In such a situation, speaking positively, Ohminami challenged Diego without hesitation and although there were scenes where he was easily beaten, I think he fought over and over again.
Ooi was able to maintain his balance while keeping his weight forward in that covering area.
Therefore, I believe that one of the factors is that there were not many shots on goal and there was no major breakdown.
Another plus element is that Musaev returned and although there were some easy mistakes, there was a scene where he slid in the midfield and stole the ball, and then there was a scene where he fully retreated on our right side and competed with Nagai.
That kind of scene is his strong point. I think his injury is also in good condition because plays like that have come out, and it has been a while since he joined, so I think he has been able to discuss with the team's way of doing things and his own condition, and I think that led to a good performance in the end.
Anyway, it is not yet decided whether he will stay or not, and the thorny path will continue for two more games, but while earning points that will lead to next season, it is the final home game, so I want to make efforts to show supporters a dynamic game."
