"Ryoya OGAWA"
"The defense was able to hold strong and we were able to maintain a good flow. It's great that we were able to win."

(Scored a goal from a brilliant interception)
"I started dribbling on the right side, and when the ball was taken away, we were able to apply very quick pressure as a team. Fortunately, the ball fell to me, and from there, I was able to take the shot exactly as I had imagined."

(Among them, today's hero interview was player Hayashi)
"I thought it might be me, but it wasn't (laughs)
Also, at first, I felt like Ogawa call was happening, but Hayashi got ahead of me (laughs) I will strive to perform well in future matches and want to seize that opportunity again!"

(Looking forward to the next match against C Osaka in Sec. 13)
"Personally, there are many players I get along well with, so I definitely don't want to lose and I want to do my best to bring back 3 points even away from home."

"Hyun Soo JANG"
"It was a match where I was able to show what I have prepared, and by patiently defending, it led to today's two goals."

(Among the shining efforts of the defense, today's hero interview was with player Lin)
"I'm really happy. It's very reliable to have Lin protecting us from behind. I think it's because we have built a mutual trust that we are able to achieve such clean sheets."

(Even when I asked Lin about it, he said that the defense is protecting him by putting their bodies on the line, so the shooting lanes are limited. As a result, he said that he is able to defend himself)
"During practice, the defensive unit discusses with each other and communicates with the goalkeeper about how far they can defend as defenders. They say that they will definitely defend up to a certain point, and from there, they rely on each other, and that's how they are able to play."

(Towards the 13th section of the next league match against C Osaka,)
"We are currently achieving good results in the league, but it is important not to be satisfied with this and continue to train further. Including my own condition, I want the team to come together as one and achieve a good result in the end."

Takefusa KUBO
(It seemed like he was going against the GK in the scoring scene)
"What I imagined was to bring it to the form that I always do in practice. I don't really look at the GK."

(It was not an easy shot)
"It was a situation where I had to score, so I didn't think too much about it, I just looked at the goal and kicked the ball to my favorite spot."

(Is there anything you are conscious of as an attacking player when the defense is very stable?)
"We are conscious of trying to touch the loose ball before the defense does. We don't want to waste those opportunities."

(About today's opponent's playing style)
"When the opponent had the ball, we often put pressure on them. Unlike other teams we recently played against, there were times when the opponent retreated and had periods of ball possession. When the opponent had the ball, we defended with the usual mindset, so we didn't feel like we were in many dangerous situations. Of course, there were moments when the opponent created chances. In a game where we had more ball possession than usual, we were thinking about creating something new."

(High accuracy of passes even in tough times)
"It is grateful to be thought so, but personally, I have not felt fatigue during matches since last season. I do feel it when sprinting, but I don't feel fatigue throughout the game, so I think my condition is not bad."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I think the players fought very aggressively in a difficult match against a tough opponent. It was very important that we were able to take the lead in such a challenging situation. We struggled to score additional goals, but Okubo was able to score one for us, which was also crucial."
Sapporo is a wonderful team under a wonderful coach, and although there were scenes where it wouldn't be strange to be beaten a few times, I think it is of great value to be able to seize victory in such aggressive developments. Also, since the Levain Cup and the league matches will continue immediately, I want to decide the future match members by observing the players' condition."

(I felt the momentum that we can win if we score one point. In the midst of that, how do we select the members?)
"I would like to decide based on the training up to this point and the total performance in the 12 games played. Among them, the players who have had the opportunity to play due to injuries have shown outstanding performances. If a player who is not in good condition comes out, we are naturally preparing for the next one."

"Sapporo Petrovic Coach Press Conference Summary"
"We made a lot of passing mistakes in the first half. We should have been more patient and moved the ball around, but instead we made mistakes and were caught on the counterattack."
It turned into a situation where it was immediately taken back after being taken.
The opponent also created scoring opportunities by utilizing Nagai's speed in their attacks and set plays, and we also had scoring opportunities. Among them, in the first half, despite some mistakes, we were able to prevent conceding goals by putting our bodies on the line.
In the second half, we attacked by moving the ball and using the width.
We were able to create more chances in the first half, but the first goal was conceded due to losing the ball while in possession.
The second goal was also conceded from a mistake.
Giving a chance to a team with the experience, quality, and decisiveness like Tokyo's. Sapporo had to unsettle the opponent and launch an attack.

(In the midst of FC Tokyo's solid defense, they effectively utilized side changes. However, they were unable to capitalize on that afterwards.)
"We were unable to break through with one-on-one dribbles from the moment the side changes were made."
"The accuracy of early crosses and final passes, as well as communication with the players in the middle, was not going well."
