"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
(Although we managed to catch up and earn 1 point, the feeling of the opening match was)
"Looking back as a whole, we feel that we were unable to do what we wanted to do."

(What specific points were the issues?)
"Being more aggressive in going for the ball."
I couldn't put it out from the beginning of the first half.
In the second half, the opponent scored the first goal, but after the substitute players came in, the team improved significantly. So, we want to be able to do that from the beginning of the first half.

(Equalized with a goal in their own net)
"I always thought that everyone would become less mobile in the opening game."
That's why I thought set plays would be key in both offense and defense, and as expected, we conceded a goal from there, but we were able to equalize with a set play.
"It was a difficult situation, but I think we were able to at least accumulate 1 point."

(How to improve despite consecutive matches)
"I want to take the initiative more aggressively from the first half and fight."
Next is the Tokushima match of the Levain Cup in 3 days, so I want to prepare thoroughly again.

(Have you ever felt anything on the defensive side?)
"I need to come up with a better defensive approach."
There was hesitation throughout the team when trying to steal the ball.
It is important to call out from behind, but I would like to make adjustments during the game within a more shared understanding.

"Hirotaka MITA"
(Looking back on the entire game, although it was a substitute appearance)
"Urawa Reds have been playing aggressive and good football under the new coach."
We fought against such opponents with a strong awareness of defending firmly as a team without getting flustered.
However, the opening goal was unfortunately conceded to the opponent from a set piece.
We were able to catch up and earn 1 point away from home, but we are not satisfied.
I think it was a game where we were able to bring back the minimum results.

(I think there was an intention to further increase the momentum with the players who came on as substitutes)
"Since there are also 5 substitutions, fresh players can once again ignite the team's engine."
I think that players Kyosuke TAGAWA and Ryo NAGAI took the lead and aggressively fought from the front line, which gave a positive stimulus to the team.

(Looking back on the scene where I assisted a valuable equalizer)
"I aimed for a difficult place for the goalkeeper to come out on the far side, and the players inside had the image of finishing on the near side."
"I had the same kind of assist with the ball during the camp, and I had a good feeling, so I kicked it with confidence and it resulted in an equalizing assist."

"Takuya AOKI Player"
"We were initially behind, but I think it was valuable to earn 1 point away from home and catch up in the end."

(After conceding a goal and stepping onto the pitch, how did you feel and play?)
"I entered the game with the consciousness of moving forward. I wanted to play aggressively in both attack and defense and change the flow."

(Did you manage to show your play against your former team?)
"Personally, I couldn't show it at all, so I want to make sure to demonstrate my strengths in the next game."

(What is Tokyo's football goal?)
"We want to cherish the momentum after taking the ball and bring out more of Tokyo's uniqueness."

(What are the team's challenges even though the coach said to be aggressive?)
I was hoping that we could put more pressure on the defense from the front line and also carry the ball more carefully after winning it in the attack.
I think the positive aspect is that we were able to run until the end for 90 minutes, and I want to continue doing that in the next game.

(This is the part that I want to show in Tokyo)
"The coach is saying that it will also be the home opening game, so I want to show the aggressive play, moving forward."
I think if I were to participate, it would be in the midfield, so I hope to play while considering the overall balance.
I want to win for sure in the next home opening match and share the joy with the fans and supporters.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I want to take the positive view of bringing back 1 point in a difficult situation."
Although the content was not praiseworthy, we want to prepare ourselves properly and fight hard in the next match, as we have the Levain Cup in 3 days and the league match a week later.

(I felt the driving force of using Morishige as an anchor last season, but today he played as a defender. The defense was stable, but it seemed like the driving force had dropped.)
"Not only Morishige's use, but also the delay in the integration of foreign players, we are still not in top form. In that situation, I think other players played well."
"Not limited to the method of using Morishige, but he was excellent in the anchor position, so I think we will continue to observe the situation."

(The part that I was not satisfied with in terms of content)
"There was no driving force forward, and we couldn't play Tokyo-style soccer. The condition of foreign players was not at its best, so we couldn't create a starting point in the front line."
The opponent's press back was also very impressive, and they didn't give up until the end, so it was not easy to play and create opportunities.
I think creating a starting point is a key factor in driving force in football, and today we couldn't find a place to settle the ball.
When the ball settles in the midfield, the team can create time, but because it was an away game in the opening match, the players couldn't play calmly as usual, so I think it's inevitable in terms of content."

(About today's game)
"Kosuke, who came on as a substitute, bravely drew a foul, and from that free kick, Hikaru MITA kicked a fantastic ball and Morishige scored a goal."
I think it was a difficult situation for Nagai to enter the game, but he played fiercely and the Tokyo players were able to move forward again. The players who came on as substitutes showed their determination, and I think today's game was one where the whole team earned 1 point.

"Urawa Ricardo RODRIGUEZ Coach Press Conference Summary"
"I think I was able to dominate the game by holding the ball for a long time."
I think the content was really good, but I wish we could have created more decisive attacking opportunities or caused more damage to the opponent. However, even within that, we had a chance to score a second goal, so it's disappointing that we couldn't convert it.
It was unfortunate that we couldn't take 3 points as we were able to deny the team that had fought in the ACL last season and had also won the Levain Cup, considering that they were our opponents from Tokyo.
I think the players showed a performance worthy of 3 points, so it's frustrating that we couldn't secure the 3 points with the last goal, especially considering that there were many draws in other venues. However, I am satisfied with the players' performance.

(I think it would be great if there were more shots depending on the number of passes, but for that)
I think it's about accumulating patterns of breaking through while pushing in. However, we have been able to progress through very good stages so far, so it is important to continue this while accumulating things that can be done.
