Diego OLIVEIRA
"I think the goal scene was a fast-paced play, but I am grateful for the wonderful through pass from Adailton."

(What was missing to turn the game around)
Kobe is also a wonderful team, and it was a difficult match in terms of the flow.
"After catching up with the tie in the second half, we had several opportunities but couldn't finish them. We want to fix that."

Kensuke NAGAI
(What I was conscious of when entering the pitch)
"First, I wanted to bring momentum to the team."
If we can score one more point, I think the possibilities will expand, so I played with that in mind."

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"I was able to calmly put the ball into the goal because Adailton's loose ball from the shot came to me."

(About my condition)
"My condition has improved quite a bit."
I want to strengthen the injured arm and improve my condition by doing muscle training.

(The partnership with Diego TABA as a two-top with a substitute appearance was...)
"I have been playing with Diego TABA for a long time."
I believe that I can play without any problems even if I have to play with two forwards like today, depending on the situation of the match.
"I think we can work well together because we understand each other's strengths and can cover each other's defense from the front line."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"The start of today's match was not good."
'We approached the game with the feeling of "We can do it" but often, when we think "We can do it", things don't go well.'
Kobe also came aiming for the back in a simple way, and I thought I had to be careful from before the game. However, I was done as I liked from the first half, and I couldn't quite get into the rhythm.
We need to do the opening part of the match properly from now on.
I think it is very positive that we caught up to the tie.
I think it was a very significant result that Diego, who is a striker, and Kensuke, were able to score points because the team will ride on it as we were not able to score in the flow of the game.
In the second half, amidst a prolonged and uncertain development, we were the ones who were defeated by the opponent this time. I think it is quite difficult to achieve a come-from-behind victory in two consecutive matches.
I feel that we need to continue to fight with a focus on scoring the first goal.
We will face the Oita match in 3 days. We also have to travel away, so I want to prepare and adjust the condition properly.

(Regarding the return of Diego OLIVEIRA and Ryo NAGAI at this time)
"Diego showed promising signs since the previous match."
Today, despite starting on the bench, we put two players on the field in the midst of a difficult situation where we are losing.
I think it is very positive that the attacking unit is able to score.
Nagai has recovered from surgery, and Diego has also recovered from a major injury in the ACL. I think when someone gets hit, the surrounding area becomes activated. In the previous match, Tagawa scored a gritty goal, so I think it's very positive that a goal was scored in the front line today."

"Kobe - Atsuhiro MIURA Coach Press Conference Summary"
"I think the start of the match was very good."
Especially in the first half, we were able to proceed with both attacking and defending according to the plan. Of course, in the second half, we conceded two goals after leading 2-0, and the opponent had momentum, but I thought that if we don't improve these goals, it will be a difficult match. We were able to win firmly even in difficult situations, and the substitute players who came on also showed their strength, making it a very good game."

(After leading by 2 points and then being caught up in a short time)
"Of course, the area of conceding goals is an area for improvement.
Certainly, it is a basic thing, but we must firmly slide and challenge & cover.
"If you slack off even a little, it will give a big chance to the players of FC Tokyo who have individual skills, so we need to improve in that aspect."
