《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"It was good that we were able to take the lead with a set piece among the opportunities we had to score the second goal as a team, but we need to develop the ability to score the second and third goals."
I think there are still many challenges. For example, when facing the opponent's power play, we need to calmly deal with it and make the decision to defend where we need to defend.
I think similar situations will continue to occur in the future, so it is important not to repeat the same thing.
I can't say anything about the decision. Even if I say something here, there will be no progress, and the referee changes every time, so I think there's nothing we can do about it. We need to focus on ourselves instead.

Now is a very difficult time, and I think fans and supporters are also struggling, but I believe that there will be a beautiful view waiting for us when we overcome this.
Winning the championship is a tough journey. It is not easy to win.
From here, the important part is how we can rebuild the team in the remaining 6 matches. Of course, it is difficult to switch gears after a frustrating defeat today, but we need to face reality and take this opportunity during the national team break to reflect individually and make necessary adjustments.
It wasn't all bad, I think it was a good game. I want to focus on the positive aspects and calmly make decisions to move forward to the next one.

"Hirotaka MITA"
"We were pushed back by the opponent's momentum at the start of the game, but gradually regained our own flow and were able to take the lead, which was good. However, in the end, the atmosphere of the stadium played a role and we lost the momentum, conceding a goal and suffering a defeat, which is frustrating."
However, more than that, there is a strong desire to score a second goal.

(Looking back on my own play)
"When I played in the game, I wasn't able to perform well, so I thought I had no choice but to keep practicing."
I think I was able to play to some extent during the intense and rigorous training. I want to continue building on this from here.

(First goal after transfer. (Thoughts at the moment it went in)
"It was both the team's opening goal and a very happy moment."

(Please tell us about the intention behind the scene where you scored a direct corner kick)
"It was the first time I scored a direct corner kick, but I had been practicing it regularly, so I'm glad it went in as planned."

(What kind of play do you want to show in the future?)
I want to strive to play dynamically both in attack and defense.
Today's result was really disappointing, but from practice, the players and staff are united as one, and we absolutely want to win against Kobe. We want to continue fighting for the championship by earning 3 points. I don't think there is a need to rush yet. It is important to steadily accumulate 3 points from here on."

"《Tokyo Hasegawa Coach Kenta Hasegawa Press Conference Summary》
"It's a very frustrating result and it's not easy to accept. We couldn't score the second goal. After scoring the opening goal with a corner kick from Mita, we should have gone for an additional goal as a team, but we were pushed back by Tosu's momentum and conceded. We have a two-week break, so we want to continue training as a team. I wonder if it's okay to just say that the referee couldn't see it. I think it's their job to see the unseen parts, and if it's said that it's also part of soccer, there's nothing we can do about it, but I wonder how it was. However, there's no point in regretting it, so we want to prepare well for the next game."

(About today's game)
"I believe that the players fought well until their legs cramped because I think that the result is entirely their responsibility. However, we have been unable to bring momentum through substitutions in the past few games, so we need to think about it, including the bench members."

《Sagan Tosu, Myung Hwi Kim Coach Press Conference Summary》
"I think we were able to achieve results thanks to the supporters creating such an atmosphere and supporting us. Regarding the content, we first aimed to not concede any goals against Tokyo, but ended up conceding. We had things we wanted to do ourselves, but we focused too much on neutralizing the opponent's strengths."
In regards to the second half, with 15 minutes remaining, I think we were able to effectively utilize Toyoda and the power of Tosu came out solidly. We are still not in a satisfactory situation. We understand that we have only won one out of 34 matches and we want to look forward to the next game without being complacent."

(What did you prepare against the top-ranked FC Tokyo?)
"When it comes to playing against Tokyo, it's important to connect passes accurately, but it's also necessary to go to the goal area frequently in order to create goal-scoring opportunities. Considering the power balance with them, I think today's formation is the most suitable."
It fully utilizes Toyota's characteristics, and the people around also understood and supported it. I think it is the result of the players reacting to the opponents. He has decisiveness, so whether it's connecting with short passes to Toyoda or long balls to Toyoda, we aimed for it depending on the situation. I think we were able to show those aspects firmly."
