"FC Tokyo U-23 Tetsu NAGASAWA Coach Press Conference Summary"

Today, we are grateful that fans and supporters have come all the way to Kagawa Prefecture to support us.

The game was approached with the intention of aggressively working hard in line with Tokyo's concept and confirming the ability to score points and win decisively. In that regard, I think the players were able to do their job well. We were able to progress the game by creating opportunities in the early stages and were able to create our own chances and take the ball away despite the skillful ball movement by Sanuki.

The challenge throughout the game was that our attacks lacked a bit of quality when trying to increase the speed while the opponent's balance was disrupted. The decision-making itself was not wrong, but there is room for improvement in terms of passing the ball or adjusting to the speed of our teammates. I think it was good that we had the attitude of aiming for more goals even after scoring one, two, three, or four goals, so I hope we can improve the quality further in the future.

Since the J1 league is still fiercely contested, I would like you to continue to be involved with the J1 league members from within this group and also appeal from next week's training.

Finally, in Sanuki, there are players from our youth organization, such as Wataru SASAKI, Kentaro SHIGEMATSU, and Kazuki HATTORI, who are working hard with gritted teeth. We, not just me, but the entire club, are watching their efforts. I hope that all of you will continue to support them."
