[Player and Coach Comments]

"Shuto ABE"
"We were scored against in the end, but we had a chance to score the fourth goal before that. I realized once again that if we don't finish in those situations, we will be done in the end. It's frustrating, but it was a good experience, and I want to switch gears for the next season so that I can say that."

(Impressions after scoring the first goal)
"It was my first professional goal, but I had a sense that I hadn't been able to score despite having close shots in previous matches. I had been wanting to score soon, and today I was able to score a goal, which not only became a turning point for the team but also made me genuinely happy."

(Looking back a little more on the goal)
"Player Arthur SILVA was keeping the ball and I positioned myself right between the opponent's defense. The position to receive the ball was good, and before receiving the ball, I checked around and there was no defense in the direction of the goal, so I turned without touching the ball. When I looked up and saw the goal, the right corner was open, so I kicked it with my left foot. The ball flew exactly as I intended, so it was a satisfying goal for me."

Leandro player
(Regarding the goal scene. Did you decide the kicker after discussing with player Ogawa?)
"I had already decided on the kicker before kicking, but we talked again just before. Depending on the situation, it can change who kicks, but this time it was me who kicked."

(League 6 goals so far. 3 goals in the last 4 matches. The reason for the good form is)
"I'm happy to be told that I'm in good form. However, it's very frustrating to be caught up by the opposing team at the end. We have no choice but to switch our focus to the next match."

(Drawn after being caught up at the end of the game. How do you perceive this kind of game?)
"Of course, I wanted to score more goals and I wish I could have prevented the third goal, so I feel disappointed that I couldn't do that."

(For the next match)
"Since we have consecutive matches coming up, I want to take a good rest first and prepare for the next match."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It became a battle of points, and the game development was not typical of this match-up, but within that, we took the lead in the first half, and until the last play in the second half, I believe that all the players played solidly."
Although they showed a weakness towards the end, I think they played a really good game overall.
Taking the away point 1 positively, we want to continue fighting firmly to gain 3 points in the next home match against Shonan.

"Hiroshima ·Coach Hiroshi JOFUKU Press Conference Summary"
"The supporters have been continuously pushing us forward with their applause, which is the only means. We were able to secure 3 points, but I am relieved that we were able to take 1 point in the end."
We knew that the opponent had individual strength, and even though we were attacking, we were prepared for a quick counterattack. I remember that the players were prepared for that and we conceded two goals from two shots, but we shouldn't have let that happen. We need to reflect on our defensive setup and the team's overall hard work, but we continued to patiently connect passes and expand the opponent's defense, always aiming for the goal. I think that's what ultimately earned us 1 point.
I want to strongly reflect on the fact that it became a chasing development, but I want to continue playing our football.
