[Player and Coach Comments]

"Manato SHINADA"
(It was the first professional goal for Player Honda)
"We were losing by two points, so we had no choice but to go for it as a team."
I think I was able to enter the scene with momentum because I changed to a double pivot and scored a goal.

(I think Leandro's goal also started from a vertical pass from Hinata player)
"At first, I was trying to drop the ball between the opponent's defender and goalkeeper with a lob pass."
I saw a momentary gap in that, so I judged that I could pass the ball on the ground.
"It was good that I was able to understand the positions of Nagai and Leandro players, which led to a goal."

(The match also had a high number of goals conceded)
"We lost the third goal in our own area."
Both the first and second goals were due to our own mistakes.
We need to eliminate the way we concede goals like that and want to use this challenge for the next one.

(It was quite a lot of physical activity in both offense and defense)
"The anchor position must take on offensive and defensive roles across a wide range."
I am confident in my physical strength, and I think the coach also appreciates that aspect.
"Running is my own characteristic, and I think I can play a different role as an anchor compared to other players, so I want to show what I can do now."

Kyosuke TAGAWA
(What did you think about when you entered the pitch as a substitute?)
"Just before I entered the pitch, we conceded another goal, so we were down by two points."
It was a situation where there was no choice but to go forward from the beginning, and the entire team did not give up on the game.
I think I was able to enter the game with momentum even though I came on as a substitute.

(Although I created opportunities in a short amount of time, the feeling is)
"As my own sensation, I feel that my condition is improving as I play more games."
"That's why I want to create more movements and opportunities to get involved in the goal."

(The next match will be a home game against Sendai in 3 days)
"This time, we want to take the lead, score more goals, and control the game at our own pace."
We believe that we have the power. We want to use that power from the beginning and connect it to results next time.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"Unfortunately, we couldn't take control of the game from the start as the opponent came in refreshed and took the lead."
The first half had some close moments, but it was a challenging development. The second half was not bad either, but we conceded a goal after losing the ball in a high position.
After that, we caught up, but we conceded the second goal first and it became a chasing situation. After it became 1-3, we were able to launch a powerful attack. We have to fight at home in that way from the first half. Even in consecutive matches, we want to prepare ourselves to play a game that suits us because the next match is also at home."

(The harvest was)
"In the final stages, Tagawa and Hara came in and clearly changed the flow."
Adailton has entered and his forward propulsion has increased. They had a presence. The starting players are not bad, but they are very reassuring. Also, Uchida was used as a defensive midfielder in the midfield, but I think he played very well in an unfamiliar position."

(Shinada scored his first goal and also made the pass that led to Leandro's goal)
"However, the starting point for the third goal was taken from Aito. I would like to eliminate such plays if possible, but he has been showing his presence in every game. He showed his sense by entering the goal area at the right time. He is originally a player with a good mid-range shot, so I hope he can show more of himself from here."

(We have changed the system when substituting players. What was the aim?)
"The intention was to increase the number of attacks."
It became 1-1, and since it was a home game, we increased the number of attacks. Furthermore, in order to put pressure on the opponent, we approached their goal in a formation similar to a 4-top.
After 1-1, it was painful to have the opponent score first in the moment of who would score the second goal. However, I think it was good that we kept attacking until the end without giving up.

"Summary of Oita Tomohiro Katanosaka Coach's Press Conference"
"We have prepared ourselves, fully aware that it will be a tough game, as we face a strong Tokyo team in back-to-back away matches within a two-day span."
In terms of results, it is a great achievement to have taken 3 points against Tokyo at Ajinomoto Stadium. I think it is thanks to the players.
Not only the 18 players who joined the team today, but also the players who stayed in Oita, everyone prepared well for today's match. Some players played a match for the first time in a while, but they concentrated and fought, and I think that they were able to achieve 3 points by not losing sight of their goals.
I have had very frustrating and tough matches against Tokyo until now.
It was really good to be able to win in Tokyo, considering that we had consecutive matches. I think we need to continue this and connect this valuable 3 points to the next match, which will also be a consecutive match at home. I want to prepare well and fight firmly so that we can have a good game."
