Kyosuke TAGAWA
"It was good to score a goal, but I think we need to create more opportunities."
This is also a challenge, so I want to be more conscious and work harder to create more opportunities.
"I think it is important to increase the number of times involved with the ball."

(The coordination with the surrounding players was good, but was there a sense of accomplishment?)
"I was doing well in practice and practice matches, so that was as planned. I think it's a part I want to continue."

(Enthusiasm for starting in the league match)
"I want to keep up with the players who are playing in the league match and continue to practice from there."

(Looking back at today's goal scene)
"Nagai player lifted a cross ball, which didn't reach Konno player, but I predicted that the opponent would make a clearance mistake."
"It was good to be able to calmly score a goal there."

(It was a direct shot without hesitation)
"There was no hesitation, but looking back, I think I could have controlled the ball. In any case, I'm glad I was able to score."

(This was the goal in the first match of the Levain Cup)
"I believe that if we continue to focus on results, the situation will change rapidly. It's not just about this match, but I want to continue scoring goals."

"Sodai HASUKAWA"
"I always had the desire to play a match at Ajinomoto Stadium, so it was really enjoyable when that wish came true during the game."
I think it was a good start to be able to finish the debut match with a victory, which will be a good start for the player's career from now on.

(The feeling of the debut match at Ajinomoto Stadium)
I think I was able to demonstrate my strengths, such as my physicality and covering ability.
However, I couldn't deliver the ball that could become the starting point of the attack, so I want to firmly seize the opportunity and try in the attacking part as well."

(Ajinomoto Stadium, what is the next goal after being able to play there?)
"I want to be actively involved in the league matches."
"However, I want to absorb various things and grow from the good players around me."

(What are the specific challenges on the offensive side?)
"Today, we couldn't create scenes where players like Yoshifumi Kashiwagi from the opposite side change sides when we are building up on our own side."
In addition, I have a reflection that it would have been good if I could have made good use of the fact that player Ryo Nagai was on the front line today.
"I want to become a player who can be the starting point of the team, like Morishige, so I want to push myself further."

(Regarding cooperation with OUMARI)
I always communicated with OUMARI.
"I think we were checking each other closely during halftime and throughout the game, and I believe that directly led to the result of not conceding any goals."

"Kashif BANGNAGANDE"
"As an individual, I had the opportunity to play at Ajinomoto for the first time."
I think it was good that it ended with a result of victory.

(What did you feel when you stepped onto the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium?)
"I was happy and had a strange sensation standing on the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium, which I had been watching until now."
I was able to enter the game with the usual feeling without any particular tension.

(What I was thinking and playing during the match)
"Tokushima was also holding the ball quite a bit and trying to attack from behind."
I think we were able to play calmly as a team without getting impatient even when we were being held the ball, because we had anticipated it.
I thought that if we could score the first goal, we would be able to control the pace of the game in Tokyo, and that's exactly what happened.
"The team was able to carry out the planned game by scoring a goal."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"The players who played today did their best."
I think we were able to score only one point, but I believe we were able to play a very well-balanced football from the first half.
If I had taken better care of the ball I stole, I think I could have had a little more chance.
I think we were able to score a goal in a good time zone in the second half and we were able to proceed with the game without panicking until the end.
"I think we were able to start the season in a good shape."

(I think the young DF team fought well against Tokushima, who had possession of the ball, but the evaluation is)
"I don't have the feeling of being possessed by the ball, I think it's a style that aims for possession, but there were hardly any shots. There was one dangerous scene in the second half, but there were no dangerous scenes in the first half, so I think we were able to respond firmly.
The shot was not taken in a good position and hardly entered the box.
I thought there was no choice but to do it without rushing, but I think they went to the right place and fought with discipline until the end.

(Player Tagawa's evaluation)
"I think if I can connect firmly after taking the ball, the time involved with the ball will increase."
The scoring scene was truly amazing. Despite the opponent's clearance mistake, they scored a goal firmly and did a great job.
I think it will become even better if we can increase the time involved and the time to play.

(Although there were many young players, what kind of words did you give to the players?)
"Even though they are young, they have played a lot in J3 and Levain Cup, so I think they are members who can play in the league matches without any problem. Today, I didn't say anything special, just told them to play with all their might."

(Meaning of winning the opening match of the Levain Cup)
"There were 6 qualifying matches. I think we gained a significant advantage."
Next is Kobe. Since Kobe has also won against Oita, I think the next game will be another important game in terms of points, so I want to prepare thoroughly again."

(It seemed that not only the condition but also the combination was good, but if there is a factor for that)
"I think we were able to smoothly enter the game because we had been playing matches with this team since the camp. I hope that the players who played well today will continue to be involved in the league matches. I think they played with a strong determination to do their best."

《Tokushima・Koshi Kamoto Head Coach》
"We challenged ourselves against a strong opponent to see how well we could do. We were able to possess the ball for a significant amount of time, but we couldn't create effective breakthroughs today. Additionally, we couldn't execute attacks that would harm the opponent during the build-up."
There were no major breakdowns in terms of defense, but on the other hand, we were unable to intentionally apply pressure and take the ball away.

(Added member changes from the league match. About the aim of that)
"There are many young players in Tokushima."
"We wanted to take on the challenge of using many promising players who have a bright future ahead."

(I had the ball, but what do you think about the progress of the organization regarding the subsequent attack?)
"Honestly, I had the ball, but there were many parts where I was forced to hold it, and in addition to not being able to take an effective position in the build-up, I couldn't put the ball in the right place."
I feel that there is a need to fix the parts where I couldn't skillfully draw out the opponent intentionally.
Regarding the breakdown of the attack, we were unable to put the ball in effective positions, so we couldn't connect to the subsequent breakdown.
Even if we could carry it forward in desperation, when we looked ahead, the ball was in a state where the attack was not well organized, so we couldn't quite reach the start of breaking through.
