【Player/Coach Comments】

"Na SANGHO"
"All the players were hungry for victory. I think that hunger led to the victory."

(After being scored on first, it was a big turning point to quickly catch up)
"I think luck was on our side. I thought we needed to create an opportunity to counterattack, so it was good that my shot resulted in a goal and strengthened the momentum of the entire team."

(I thought it was stopped because the goalkeeper touched it during the goal scene)
"From practice, I think it was because of the consciousness of trying to switch and shoot at a tempo one step faster than usual, which disrupted the opponent goalkeeper's hand."

(I played on the left side today)
"I think playing on the left side is my strong position, but I need to be able to play on both sides. I often play on the left side for the South Korean national team, and I think Coach Hasegawa also considers using me in that position. In terms of meeting those expectations, I believe I need to continue being a weapon for the team and contribute to victories."

(The team will turn around the league in first place)
"I thought today's game was a very important match, and I think ending the first half of the season with a victory will be a good start for the upcoming matches."

Kensuke NAGAI
"Today, we were able to score four goals and score in the way we intended."

(Reflecting on my goal-scoring scene)
"A good ball came from player Takahagi, and I was able to control it well. In the battle with the goalkeeper, I aimed for the top of the opponent's goalkeeper and was able to score a goal just as I imagined."

(Condition is also very good)
"I think being able to play calmly in front of the goal is also due to the experience in the national team. Also, in the scene where I assisted, I was able to take it to the finish line well with Diego OLIVEIRA, so I think the team can ride the momentum again."

(About Kubo)
"Even if Kubo is gone, what we have to do remains the same. As we enter the second half of the season, we want to continue competing and pushing each other within the team."

(Second half enthusiasm)
"We are currently in the top position, but we are always challengers. We want to continue to work diligently without forgetting that we are always challengers."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"It was a game where we absolutely had to win 3 points."
"We encouraged each other from the warm-up to go full throttle again, knowing that this was the last game of the first half and that we had been on a losing streak. I think this led to a good result."

(With 7 shots, 4 goals. A very efficient attack)
"Goals scored by Na SANGHO, Ryo NAGAI, and Diego OLIVEIRA. The best part was turning the game around and securing the victory. It gave us a lot of confidence."

(The whole team was putting pressure from the front line)
"It's really big to be able to win even if we concede two goals and turn around in first place. I think Okubo's transfer and the team starting from scratch again. I wanted to send him off feeling good as a teammate today. I think that also led to a good result."

(Regarding future battles)
"I think there is still a tough second half waiting ahead, so even when the team is not doing well, I want the team to stay united and rebuild without falling apart, and ride the momentum. This victory is really significant, but I want to work towards the next game so that we can keep smiling at the end."


"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"Today, there was no choice but to fight."
The aggressive performance of Yokohama FC players during their soccer matches has led to today's victory.
We were able to score decisive goals while playing in our own style, and it was great that both the two top players and Sangho scored goals, which boosted the team's morale.
The 5-game series is over, but I want to give my best in the remaining 2 games.

(Yokohama FM set a high line and exploited the space behind it. Regarding the accuracy of their aim and quick attacks)
"Without Takehide, we don't have a player who can create opportunities."
There is no player who can interact with the previous two. So, Na SANGHO was the key.
Today, we were able to launch several fast breaks from his starting point, leaving him on the left.
Yokohama FC plays with a high line. The key is to quickly attack after winning the ball.
It was about who could score the points. We were able to score points by effectively combining the second and third rows.

(Regarding 2 goals conceded)
"Today, we formed a team with the intention of attacking even if we concede goals. I think it can't be helped."
Today, there is also a ceremony for Take (Kubo), and many fans and supporters will come.
I had been thinking that it's not about fighting tactically, but about showing the good parts and accepting it if we lose.
Our weapon surpassed Yokohama FM.
It is always better not to concede a goal, but it is more wonderful to score 4 goals. I think the players did their best.

"Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary"
"It was a really disappointing result. What's disappointing is that despite playing well, we couldn't get the desired outcome. We had plenty of chances but couldn't convert them, made defensive mistakes, and when you do that, teams like Tokyo take advantage and beat us. It's really unfortunate."

(The content was good, but I think the speed of attack was lacking for Yokohama FM. What do you think about that?)
"It was really a difficult match. Because Tokyo's defense was very solid and they even defended deep. It would have been good if we could have gone into the space behind with our usual speed, but the opponent's defense was deeper. So I think it was important to concentrate and calmly pass the ball. If we concede a goal and the game becomes a chase, it becomes a difficult situation."
I think if we had taken the lead and scored 2 or 3 points, the situation would have been different, but instead we gave the opponent confidence. It's frustrating not only to lose, but also because the performance was good but the results didn't come.
