Taichi HARA
(Looking back on the match)
"I came on as a substitute and we were trailing by two goals."
Received instructions from the coach to first score a goal, and fought with the determination to snatch the goal no matter what.
Although we lost in a disappointing way, we want to continue playing like we did in the second half from the beginning of the game as a team."

(About the scoring scene)
"I thought it was a chance because the ball the opponent's goalkeeper deflected did not cross the goal line."
I was able to connect in that way because I prepared myself to be able to respond even if something happened, firmly putting my body on the line.
However, it is meaningless if it does not lead to a winning goal.
"This time, I really want to score a genuine goal."

(Has the feeling changed as the matches progressed?)
"Today was the first J1 match we played at home."
"Playing in front of the fans and supporters gave me a lot of energy, and it made me want to work even harder in the future."

(Looking back at the match)
"Our weaknesses were exposed."
"It was a game where the opponent's strengths were evident, but we were unable to fully demonstrate our own."

(We have been unable to win the last few matches)
I think it's because of our lack of ability.
We need to be more conscious in order to win more, and start from scratch as a team.
"Since we are not a strong team, we want to improve together as a whole."

(I felt that there was no sharpness in the attack)
"Watching from behind, honestly, the overall speed felt heavy."
I think it's my job to change that and I want to improve from the next match onwards."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It's pathetic."
If you want to protect the players a little, it's not an excuse for losing, but today, just before the match, I heard that Tosu's player had a fever in the afternoon of the day, and the match was played in a situation where it was unknown if there were close contacts. I talked to the J-League and they said we could play the match. I told the players that if they didn't want to play, they didn't have to, but they decided to play with players who were determined to do their best. However, they showed a fighting spirit and stood on the pitch.
Not all excuses are valid, but there may be psychological factors and unforeseen circumstances that prevented us from fighting in the first half. As a coach responsible for the players' lives and health, it is a difficult choice to forcefully make them play. We couldn't catch up to the tie, and the coach may not say this to everyone, but I wanted to dare to speak about it."

(This kind of thing can happen in the future. Once again, as a coach, I want to appeal for what kind of response I want to make to the J-League, etc.)
"I think it's better not to do it."
It means that there was a player who developed a fever last night and traveled with the team, but it was not identified as a close contact. At that time, if everyone had a negative PCR test, the players could play with peace of mind. However, I would like you to consider the idea of playing the game without being able to guarantee peace of mind, so I deliberately brought up this topic.

(In the first half, we couldn't play our usual game in the midfield.)
"I think there were various factors, but even after the game was tied, there were spaces in the midfield and giving away easy additional points like that makes it impossible to win at home. If we had gone into halftime with a 1-1 score, I think the outcome would have been different."

(What about the second half recovery?)
"Leandro received a yellow card, so we decided to use Uchida instead, as it was only a matter of time before he would be sent off. Mita is excellent as a kicker, so we wanted to keep him on the pitch."
Lower Takahagi and put Mita in the defensive midfield, Nagai on the right side. Nagai also did well, but after that, the young players changed the flow to some extent. The opponent's third goal allowed them to play the game with ease. There were also big chances with Adailton's header, but today the performance was just bad."

"Summary of Tosu Manager Myung Hwi KIM's Press Conference"
"I think the players worked hard away from home and were able to express what they wanted to do."
It is a big thing to be able to earn 3 points. We haven't won until now, so we were able to deliver a victory to the fans and supporters. It's quite late, but let's use this as an opportunity to win one by one.
"I want to prepare for the next game without getting too high or too low and do my best to win."

(The reason for today's victory)
"Even though we couldn't win, we had the impression that we were progressing step by step while learning."
The game was the same as last time, playing while leading.
In the previous match, we took the lead but then started relying too much on long balls, which allowed the opponent to gain momentum.
"This time, the players showed courage and tried their best while carefully assessing the opponent's response to the Tokyo press."
