"Shuto ABE"
(Looking back on today's match)
"It was a tough situation with a game in the away field within two days and also considering the physical condition. However, today we were able to fight as a team. I am really happy that I was able to win with my own goal as a result."

(Looking back on the final goal)
"My role was to aim for loose balls, but there was some time before the ball came in front of me, and as a result, I was able to shoot at my own timing. It was a crucial moment that I couldn't afford to miss, so I'm relieved that I was able to score."

(This makes it 3 goals in 2 official matches. What are the factors behind this result?)
"Since scoring my first goal in the away Hiroshima match, I have felt a tremendous increase in my awareness of shooting."
I think being conscious of shooting and scoring is what has led to this result.
"Personally, I feel like I can play with a great sense, so I want to continue scoring goals to help the team more."

(The next match is against Yokohama FC at home in 3 days. My enthusiasm is)
"Since it's a home game, I can play in front of the fans and supporters."
"We want to secure 3 points at home."

"Manato SHINADA"
(Evaluation of myself on the defensive side)
"When going to steal the ball, it was a bit difficult to put pressure on the opponent's midfield players from the anchor position due to the distance. However, I think I was able to contribute to the team by continuing to make that long-distance approach throughout the 90 minutes."

(Among the instructions from the coach, it was a way to embody that)
"I think the coach expected me to be able to play like this, so I think I was able to contribute today in that sense."

(I had a gap in playing from the Shonan game, but I was conscious of it in today's match)
"It is said that the defense has improved, but I wanted to show a difference in the attacking aspect. I gave a last pass to player Abe in the first half, but I wanted to give a ball that would lead to a goal with a single pass, and I also wanted to express that there is a possibility of a mid-range shot."
I also think that in order to achieve that, we need to play the base fighting part firmly. Since the Shonan game, I have been preparing to be able to play 100% in any game."

(What motivation did you play with mentally?)
"I feel confident about playing in the game, but I haven't played continuously yet, so I still have a long way to go. I want to continue preparing myself to give 100%."

(The midfield was composed of academy graduates)
"I think there is a good sense of unity with the increasing number of academy graduates. Since we have been building up our soccer skills together, I believe there are also parts where we can understand each other and help each other play."

"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
"I wanted to win today's game at all costs, even though we changed the members. I feel really good because there are things that can be gained by winning."

(About your own performance)
"What I need to do doesn't change much. I just wanted to do that and support the young players. If they can play freely, they can perform well. First of all, I played with a sense of responsibility that I need to play stable."

(The coach referred to the loss against Kashima during halftime, but what he was conscious of towards the end of the game)
"Even when being pushed back, it is important to tighten up at key moments. Especially before and after the water break, after substitutions, and towards the end of the game, the score is more likely to change. So, I believed that if we could concentrate firmly on those moments and endure, it would not be a problem. We did what we had to do and played with a clear mind."

(Thoughts on Oita)
"After all, the place where I became a professional football player."
"I always want to show a good appearance here, so I am sincerely happy with the result today."

(A word for the upcoming consecutive matches)
"It is important to continue winning, so I want to prepare well for the next match and achieve even more victories."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was a tough game, but it was great that the players, staff, and everyone came together and were able to win against Oita."

(Evaluation of the player who was selected today)
"Kyosuke finally returned from his shoulder injury and was able to play in the game. I think he played in his own style. Both Mita and Takumi showed their respective strengths. I also think Manato played for 90 minutes today and gained new confidence."

(Preparation and countermeasures against Oita's build-up?)
"There wasn't much time to prepare. We watched the footage and did what we always do today. Every player in every position did their usual thing. There's nothing special."

(For 90 minutes, we were able to control and limit the opponent with a press from the front)
"When we can press against any team, we will do it. Oita is good at building up from the back. There were moments when we were caught off guard, but I think we were able to maintain a good balance."

"Summary of Oita Tomohiro Katanosaka Coach's Press Conference"
"Today, Tokyo played a very intense match in consecutive battles, and they prepared for us in just two days. They also fought with a turnover in their lineup. Meanwhile, we prepared for a week and approached the Tokyo match with a focus on both offense and defense."
We and Tokyo have various differences in conditions and current situations, but we lost with a score of 0-1, which is very frustrating.
In front of many fans and supporters who came to the home, I wanted to score and wanted to earn points.
Last season, Tokyo suffered consecutive defeats at home and away, and in the midst of frustration, they challenged what they couldn't do last season. Compared to last season, they may have had more opportunities to possess the ball and enter the attacking third, but there was still a toughness that wouldn't let them easily break through.
In Tokyo, the attitude of working hard even in consecutive matches, the attitude of winning points without losing power no matter who comes out, I think it will be tough in this consecutive match, but that is something we must learn from.
I also spoke to the players in the locker room, but in terms of scoring against strong opponents and earning points, we still lack power. We need to play with energy and dynamism for the full 90 minutes without stopping. Without that, it will always be a game where we cannot earn points. That's what I said.
We have been able to play football with the support of various people, and the game that becomes encouragement for those people. Of course, winning is very important, but the attitude to fight, the attitude to never give up, the attitude to really aim for a goal, and the attitude to enter with power. I feel that Tokyo is superior in those aspects.
It's very frustrating, but we have a Shonan match on Wednesday, so we need to switch gears quickly. With today's frustration in our hearts, taking into account the areas where we fell short, I believe the players will make good preparations. I will also switch gears and make good preparations with the players, and I want to challenge the next game, which we will definitely win and will be encouraging to watch.
