"First of all, I am very happy to be able to give a goal to the child who was born. I think it was very good that we were able to score a goal in the second half and it was in our favor, but we ended up conceding a goal like that at the very end. Of course, I am happy to have scored a goal, but I am frustrated that it didn't lead to a victory. If it was possible for the team to win even without me scoring a goal, I would have gladly exchanged that."

(What areas do we need to work on to achieve victory?)
"A few more parts will have a significant impact on the final result."
Last season, we were able to have good battles in the early stages, but from a certain point, we were unable to win and ended up losing momentum.
The first half of this season has just begun, but it has been progressing very well so far. We must ensure that we do not lose momentum like we did last season.
Winning in an away game among many spectators is truly difficult, but... I know that. I keep repeating it, but we were really close."

(Today, Nagai player was substituted by Kubo player from the middle of the game. A completely different type of player entered, but what I was conscious of was)
"Not only the two players whose names were mentioned, but this team has many players with high quality. Not only those two, but everyone is always ready, so I think that whoever comes out can play a great game."

(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"First of all, I received a through pass from Kubo, but the timing was off there."
Kubo player again passed the loose ball to the side, and I was able to score by entering the penalty area from Higashi player.
"When Kubo had the ball, he had the intention to break through the opponent's defensive line and go behind it."

"Hyun Soo JANG"
"I feel once again that this is soccer"

(The scene of conceding a goal seemed more like an unavoidable goal rather than a mistake)
"After the game, I watched the scene of conceding a goal, but there really was no other option for the course. Also, I think the only possibility for a goal was when player Ryota MORIWAKI came in at a good timing. My honest feelings today are frustration and regret."

(How to connect as a team next)
"It's still the 5th game of the league. Since the season is still long, we need to continue to improve the quality by pursuing our own style of soccer."

(Is there any sense of progress in today's game)
"In fighting the league, we will continue with a sense of crisis that we do not know when or how things will turn out. In that, the most important thing is the next game when the results do not come. I hope that everyone will come together and prepare mentally and physically for the next game."

"Urawa came in a diamond shape in the early stages and there were times when they were pushed back, but we were able to respond firmly as time went on."
The second half was a back and forth affair, but there were hardly any dangerous situations after taking the lead.
I think the players played a great game, and it was my own fault that we only got 1 point instead of 3 today. I realized once again that I need to learn from this lesson.
Tokyo had been losing at this Saitama Stadium for a long time, but since they played an intense match, there is no need to view the 1 point as pessimistic.
The players showed hard work even in today's match. We want to prepare for the next home game.

(The defensive development in the first half was not disturbed. It seems that the game plan was progressing as planned, including the substitution of Kubo in the 62nd minute.)
"Regarding Kubo, he played 3 matches in Myanmar under the U-22 national team in 40℃ weather. He only started in one of those matches, but including today, he has played 4 matches in 2 weeks.
I knew it was in good condition, but I thought it wouldn't last 90 minutes from the start.
As you know, Hiroshi OMORI is an amazing player. He was in a state where he could compete with Ken'ei as a card at crucial moments. I think he played as expected today as well."

(Was the first half, where we created a defensive block, as planned?)
"(Regarding Urawa) There were various rumors or information flying around. Whether it would be a 3-back or 4-back, and what would happen to the midfield shape."
It was a starting lineup that could respond to the opponent in any form. At first, there was confusion about the diamond shape, but we talked with the players when the play was interrupted and from around 30 minutes, we were able to create our own time.
We were talking about switching gears in the second half as well.

(Kubo was in a position closer to the goal than usual. The intention was)
"Score a goal, simple as that."
He is a player who "has it", so I thought he would definitely produce results on this stage. I wanted him to reduce the defensive burden and use his power as much as possible in the attack. He created opportunities by colliding with Makino in the ball contest, not knowing which way it would go, and competing with Aoki without losing, creating space in the front line. He played wonderfully today."

"Summary of Urawa - Oswaldo OLIVEIRA Coach's Press Conference"
"I think it was the best game of the season."
Although we couldn't achieve victory, it was a match where we didn't give the opponent many chances and they rarely threatened our goal. There weren't many difficult moments in defense. We did concede a goal in an unexpected way, but I think we played a good game against FC Tokyo, the best team of this season with a record of 3 wins and 2 draws."

(Why was the adoption of a 4-back at this timing?)
"During the camp, Muto and Aoki were not there. During the preseason, I didn't know much about Sugimoto, Yamanaka, Taki, and Ewerton. So instead of making changes, I tried to get to know them better. And looking at the battles so far, I felt that there was a little lack of aggressiveness to score points. During the league's break period, I used it to test the 4-back in practice matches, and if it didn't work well, I would return to the 3-back."

(It was a talk about the best game. I wonder if it was a matter of power or a strategic one that we surpassed in possession rate.)
We increased the number of midfielders.
I think the possession rate has increased due to the increase in technical players. Kashiwagi was substituted due to injury, which interrupted the flow a little.
If Kashiwagi, Muto, and Nagasawa are on the pitch, the team settles down by possessing the ball. There is no doubt about it."
