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

"First of all, I heard that we won the J1 League match against Iwata today. The J3 match was also held at the same time, and I am grateful to the many fans and supporters who came to the stadium to support the U-23 team."

When summarizing the game, the typical immaturity of the team became apparent. In the midst of the understanding that we cannot win without scoring, not all shots were successful, but there were many situations where we had to score. If we cannot score, it is important not to concede, but while we were disappointed that we couldn't convert our chances, the opponent became more aggressive and scored. During that time, it was necessary to concentrate and communicate effectively, but we conceded without being able to do so, which is a point of reflection. If we can learn from that, today's match will have meaning. There are few remaining matches in the J1 League, but we must be able to respond in similar situations when we play, so we will do our best to move forward.
