"Summary of Tokyo U-23 Coach Tetsu Nagasawa's Press Conference"

"Despite the game being held on the same day and at the same time as the J1 match, I am grateful for the support of the fans and supporters. I feel sorry for the defeat."

The first half didn't turn into a soccer match, and we were beaten in one shot.
It was good to organize the attacking strategy before entering the second half and score two goals as planned.

At halftime, I talked to the players about how "if we don't take our chances, we will be done for." There were opportunities to score a third goal, but we couldn't connect with simple cross balls or we rushed into crowded areas with dribbles. It was a game where our immaturity showed.

Even in the top team, they do not start defending after a comeback.
I think I still lack the skills to score the third goal, so I want to continue training diligently.
