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

"I apologize for the complete shutout and defeat in the game, despite your support in coming to the event, which was also in danger of being canceled due to the typhoon."

Today's game, we were dominated by the opponent with intense strength and lost control of the game. We had to make sure not to lose in the ball battles, but we were always inferior. Jun KODAMA prevented us from being in a pinch for a long time, and the situation allowed us to use Tagawa as a substitute, so it would have been good if we could have held on until then, but I think it was a little immature to easily lose the mark on the corner kick. I don't think we weren't trying hard, and I think we were running hard, but not being able to perform well in the most important moments means that we still lack strength. I thought I had organized the situation and entered the second half, but I ended up being on the defensive.
In any case, the opponent completely won today's match. We have been having great games recently, but we need to cool down and change our mindset and keep going.
