[Player and Coach Comments]

Diego OLIVEIRA
(It was the first goal in 6 games. Looking back at the PK scene)
"The scene where we got the PK was when Muroya entered deep into the penalty area. I was able to kick the PK with a calm mind as usual and score the goal."


(Not only in attack, but also in defense, he made a significant contribution)
"This is not just me, but the whole team coming together and showing our strength in both offense and defense. Whether they were on the field today or not, every player contributed to this victory. I want to praise ourselves today."

(I failed to score a penalty kick against Iwata last time. How do you feel about kicking today?)
"I didn't think about that at all. I was calm before kicking today as well. During practice, I was in a very good mental state and was able to kick the penalty kick, so I want to celebrate with everyone."

(Is there any problem with your foot condition?)
"I think it's due to accumulated fatigue. We have two weeks until the next league match, so I want to recover properly and prepare again."

"Sei MUROYA"
"I think Iwata came with momentum from the start of the first half in order to remain in J1. In response to that, I think the game became a very high-level one. In the midst of that, we were able to withstand as a team in the first half and convert chances in the second half. I think we were able to carry out an ideal game."

(Today, we scored the winning goal from Muraya's PK capture)
"In the first half, there were several chances, and I asked Hashimoto to look at the side a little more and pass the ball because there was space in front of me. As a result of being able to make adjustments in the second half, it led to a goal and I was very happy that it turned out to be the play I had imagined."
I think this is the result of the hard work of the entire team, so I would like to thank Diego OLIVEIRA, who scored the goal, not just my own power.

(It is a victory without conceding a goal. The coordination in defense)
"Tokyo is based on playing hard in both offense and defense. Not only the defensive line, but the entire team worked hard, resulting in a clean sheet."
I think today's victory is the result of everyone giving their all. With three more games to go, I think we will continue to have these kinds of matches, so I want to keep fighting with the same intensity."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was a tough game, but the players showed their determination and gave their best. I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans and supporters. I am proud of the players and we are looking forward to returning to Ajinomoto Stadium for the next match."
The match was a difficult one as Iwata came in aggressively. However, they played calmly and in the second half, they stepped up their game and were able to get a penalty kick from Muroya's run, which Diego calmly converted.
Last year's Iwata match had a bad image because I missed a penalty kick, but he scored for me. Even though there were some accidents, experienced players called out and we were able to win with zero goals conceded. I think it was a victory that leads to the next.

(Away 8 consecutive games. Finished with a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, and returned to the top. Looking back?)
"Looking back, we had a very tough series of matches. In the beginning, there was a naive belief that we would somehow manage, but the atmosphere in each stadium was different, and it often became a difficult situation in away games where the opponent's support grew louder towards the end of the match. The continuous away games also made the schedule feel short, and although we started winning from the previous Kobe match, if that hadn't been a good result, it could have been a difficult situation until the end. I think it was also difficult for the players not being able to play at home. I also think it was tough for the fans and supporters to come a long way to support. However, in the end, the power of everyone supporting Tokyo came together, and we were able to return home in first place. I truly want to express my gratitude to the players, the club, and the fans and supporters."

(How was the evaluation of player Makoto OKAZAKI who played unexpectedly?)
"He was very good. Until last season, sometimes when he entered suddenly, he would become blank and couldn't play as usual, but today I think he played calmly and wonderfully."

"Iwata Fernando Jubero Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very intense and tough match. We played very well in the first half. We were able to create several chances to score goals. In the second half, we gave the opponent a penalty kick, which gave them composure, but we kept fighting. We continued to create several chances to approach the opponent's goal, but we couldn't score in the end. However, we played a good game today. However, as a team, not everything is positive."

(3 remaining matches. What kind of attitude do you want the players to fight with?
"We ask the players to continue what they have been doing. With three games remaining and even a slight possibility, we will not change our attitude of fighting until the end. Just as the players fought in today's match, we will continue to ask the players to fight. I believe that good results are waiting for us ahead."
