Taichi HARA
"I entered with the intention of aiming for a goal when I was substituted, as the time of the tie was long."

(Looking back at the moment of the goal)
"I always think it's a chance when Ogawa has the ball, so I tried to take a good position as usual."
Adailton player touched the ball a little in front, but was able to control the ball well. I think that was everything."

(The feeling when I swung my right foot)
"I didn't aim for a specific spot, but it was a satisfying goal because I was able to pierce over the GK."

(Today's goal became the winning goal)
"A goal that was different from the goals so far. It feels good to score a goal that leads to victory. Of course, I think it was not only my own strength but also the support of my teammates."

(Kimura made his first appearance in J1)
"I was a little worried myself, but he played confidently and won the aerial battles. I think it was a fantastic performance."

(Tagawa also scored a goal. The competition is becoming fierce)
"There are definitely powerful players in the front line, so it's really good for the team. I want to compete with those players and crawl up together."

(Is the goal the result of daily practice or is there a new discovery in every game?)
"I think it's half and half."
You can't replicate everything in practice, so by playing games like this, you can discover new things. However, there are also patterns that have been practiced, so I think that such technical aspects have contributed to today's score."

(Today's goal)
"I think it's a matter of instinct and original technique."

(It should have been a moment when I had been playing from the academy and winning the team with my own goal. In reality, it became such a situation, and I wonder what kind of emotions)
"I am happy when I score, and I still have a happy feeling now. However, I feel that I need to switch because the consecutive matches will continue. Still, it was always a dream, so I'm glad that I was able to experience such a happy feeling."
Up until now, for the past two years, even though it was frustrating to watch from the stands, I was happy with every victory. However, the frustration of not being able to participate myself was stronger. In that sense, today is a happy day."

Kyosuke TAGAWA
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"There were several instances where Takahagi made runs behind the defense when he had the ball."
However, I was conscious of starting a little later by delaying the timing, as I received advice from Takahagi player that my movements were a bit too fast.
"I think it was really good because I was able to score a goal by entering a good ball at the timing when I was told to endure a little and then break free, and I was also able to do a good job of reversing."

(He had said that he wanted to come back and score a goal, and it turned out to be a goal as he declared)
"Other players are also scoring, so I have to keep up and not lose."
Condition has also improved, so I want to push myself further for the sake of the team."

(It was my first time playing at Ajinomoto Stadium in a while)
The number of fans and supporters was small, but it felt really good to be able to play in front of everyone at home.
I feel even more motivated to do it, and I am happy that I was able to score a goal.

Seiji KIMURA
(Reflecting on today's game, my first appearance in J1)
"I was nervous since yesterday, but as the game approached, I was able to approach it with my usual mindset."
I think we were able to enter the game in a good shape thanks to the support from various people.

(What kind of preparations have you been continuing until today's match?)
"Even during this consecutive match period, I couldn't really get involved."
However, even in normal times, various staff members such as Coach Nagasawa and Coach Sato have supported us, and we were able to make good preparations for the game. I thought that all we had to do was to show what we had built up.

(The parts that worked throughout the 90 minutes and the challenges that were found)
"In terms of defense, we were able to win in heading, but I felt that we need to make adjustments in the finer positioning and the judgment of when to go and when not to go under pressure."
I think there are areas where we can improve, such as making vertical passes in the attacking phase, so I want to reflect on it and connect it to the next one.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was a difficult development, but they managed to turn it around and win."
Towards the end, there were several scoring opportunities but we couldn't convert them, but in the end, Hara scored for us. Hayashi also prevented a dangerous situation where the opponent player hit Leandro Domingues' cross. Kimura also made his first start, and although those around him were nervous, they actually had some risky plays. Kimura played calmly and it was good that we were able to win."

(In a game where chances were limited, the young FW duo of Hyun Soo JANG and Lins emerged victorious)
"In the second half, there were plenty of opportunities, but the game didn't go as planned in the first half. Togawa scored his first goal of the season, and it was also significant that Hara showed his competitiveness in a challenging situation."

(Player Kimura had a great performance with high balls and feeds)
"He entered the game very calmly. He has a high physical ability, so I think if he gets used to the game, he will play even better."

(Former player has been outstanding in scoring goals)
"Since scoring his first goal in the J-League, he has been able to confidently and eagerly enter the game. He has a good grasp of when to enter the goal area. We also have high expectations for Hara."

"Yokohama FC, Takahiro SHIMOTAIRA Coach Press Conference Summary"
"We first scored a goal in a good manner and took the lead, but then Tokyo pushed us back and scored two goals."
Tokyo was pushed back by the powerful and fast attack of the front line. The defense also held their ground, but it's unfortunate that we conceded a soft goal. However, we managed to make it to a draw or even a win in the end. We were able to create opportunities against a strong Tokyo team. I want to continue building the team in this way."

(The goal was talked about as being light, but the impact of injured players)
"The center back is playing in a critical situation. Inoha is also playing in a fatigued state, and Kobayashi is also fatigued. I think it was a light and wasteful goal. There are also many injured side backs, so we need to consider conversions."
