《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"The first goal was crucial in today's match. It became mentally challenging after conceding the second goal about 5 minutes later. I once again realized that it becomes a difficult match when we easily give the first goal to a high-level opponent."

(Instructions from the coach at halftime)
"We conceded 4 goals and entered halftime, so let's try to score one goal at a time. In reality, we aimed to score without conceding in the second half, but we couldn't go that far."
We need to watch the video carefully and reflect on it. There were also parts where we were able to do as the coach said, so we have no choice but to switch gears and continue with the long season.

(Impression of Kawasaki)
"The opponent who concedes goals when showing weaknesses. We can say a lot after the game, but first we need to defend firmly and put our bodies on the line. We were able to do it in the second half, but we have to play this kind of game from the first half. We also need to take advantage of their weaknesses in set plays, etc. Today's game became difficult due to conceding goals."

(Thoughts on the remote match and feelings towards the fans and supporters)
"It's very disappointing that there were no fans and supporters at the Tama River Clasico at Ajinomoto Stadium. I wish we could have had a better game, but it didn't go well today. In a long season, I think these things happen, so let's not be too pessimistic and let's switch gears because there were also good things. We will have another match at Todoroki, so until then, let's all continue to grow together."

"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
"Today's game allowed Kawasaki's attacking unit to play too freely."
I think if we let a high-quality opponent play freely, the game will develop like today.

(What was the lesson from today's match?)
I think we lost in terms of mental preparation. There were also issues with our mentality after conceding the first goal.
"We won't be able to beat today's opponent unless we continue to play with the same passion as players like Muroya and Konno, who came on in the second half. I think that's the only way."

(Played 350 matches today. After today's defeat, looking forward to the next match)
"I apologize to the fans and supporters who have been watching until the final whistle on DAZN. We had a disappointing game. For those people, I want to win the next match and vent my frustration. We have another match in 3 days, so I want to prepare well and deliver a good game to everyone."

"Tokyo - Coach Hasegawa Press Conference Summary"
"The start of the match wasn't that bad, but I felt a little discouraged after conceding the first goal. I think if we could have somehow kept it to around two goals, the outcome would have been different. We definitely showed some weakness towards the end."
I think we have made progress compared to last year's 0-3 performance. In the midst of a point difference in the second half, the players showed their determination to score goals and defend. I believe that the second half was a game that could lead to the next one.
"We were still being beaten by Kawasaki in the early stages, so we want to become a tough team again and get revenge this time. We also want to prepare well for the next match."

(Takahagi was substituted in the middle of the first half. What was the game plan for today?)
"The theme was to fight firmly in the first half, use the midfield players generously, and not lose in the midfield battle. In that sense, there were several scenes where we were able to connect after winning the ball and take it to a shot, so it wasn't bad. However, it becomes difficult when we are easily bypassed like the second goal. There was a lack of intensity in the duels in the first half."
In the second half, the opponent also had a point difference and there were moments of power down, but even in such circumstances, we were able to show our spirit and protect the goal, and we were able to win the ball in the duels. So, I think if we could have played like that from the first half, the game could have had a different development.

(About instructions at halftime)
"I was thinking of changing one player during the first half to try and change the flow of the game with Adailton. At halftime, we talked about trying to score one goal at a time. As I mentioned earlier, we were working on things more firmly than in the 0-3 game of last season, so we talked about playing our own soccer again in the second half. The start of the second half was not bad either, and we were able to create chances, but we couldn't score a goal."

(What I learned from today's game)
"We talked about not losing in the basic aspects, but there were still weaknesses in the battles and defenses at the goal. There was also tension in this kind of game, and there were some areas where (Hotaka) NAKAMURA's defensive response was not very good, but the team will continue to grow through these kinds of matches. There are things that can be gained from winning, but there are also things that can be learned from losing.
The league has resumed and I still think the previous match was not satisfactory in terms of content. It may be the same for every team, but there is an impression that we have not yet switched to official match mode since the start. We have not been able to show the team's strengths against teams that are strong in ball contests. Right now, I hope we can improve the team's condition while fighting together."

《Kawasaki - Toru ONIKI Coach》
"We sent out a team with the intention of playing a spirited game in the Tama River Clasico. They really showed an aggressive fight that was characteristic of ourselves from the first half. I think that being able to take the lead in the first half led to this result, and I want to continue to build on it in the next game."

(What kind of words did you say for this match)
"Anyway, it's a three-game series after the interruption. We talked about winning this game firmly. The other one is the Tama River Clasico, and the other one is a team that is higher in the ranking than us, so we talked about winning no matter what."

(1,2 points alone were not enough, but in that context, today we scored 4 goals)
"The regulations have changed, so we don't know what will happen with just 1 or 2 points. We share that mindset as a team. The players performed with the mentality of getting 2 points after scoring 1, and 3 points after scoring 2. It's not just about scoring goals, but I really think it was great that Taniguchi, Jesiel, and both fullbacks were able to put their bodies on the line in the final moments."
