【Player/Coach Comments】

Bruno UVINI
(How we have adjusted so far)
"It was difficult to understand the characteristics of teammates and the way the team plays in a short period of about one week after joining. However, I am happy for this opportunity."
Also, I think it's thanks to all of you that I was able to play for 90 minutes.
"I wanted to win, but I think getting 1 point away is not a bad result."

(It was disappointing to concede a goal, but how do you feel about your own goals?)
"I don't think conceding a goal is someone's fault, it's everyone's responsibility, and on the contrary, I didn't score the goal alone. We talked about aiming for that spot together in set plays and decided to score."
"I'm really happy to be able to play in the game today more than anything."

(How did you feel about the level of the J-League?)
"I had watched the J-League a lot before and after coming to Japan, but it was my first time playing a match."
I think the J-League is a very high-level league, whether you watch it on TV or actually play. I think every team has a balanced level of skill.
Tokushima is also a good team and not an easy opponent to beat. We ended up with a draw today, and I think that every match is not easy to win.

(Regarding scoring a goal in my debut match)
"I am happy to have scored a goal, but I would have been even happier if the team had won."
As a defender, it wasn't my role to score goals, but I'm happy that I was able to fight well in this match and I'm really happy that my teammates and people involved supported me this much. I want to express my gratitude to God."

(What kind of conversation did you have after the match?)
I talked with the Brazilian players and there were various things in today's difficult match. We encouraged each other. I also expressed my gratitude to everyone in the locker room.
"There were difficult times to get to this point, but I'm really glad to be able to experience this moment now."

"Manato SHINADA"
"My body was quite heavy and there were tough parts, but in terms of condition, it felt like the first game, so I knew I still had a long way to go before the match."
"It was good that I was able to play for a long time, and I want to take a positive view on the changes I felt compared to last season."

(I felt it was difficult to fully recover)
"There are new players and Brazilian players, so there are still some parts where it is difficult to unify our intentions."
"From now on, I want to share the image while talking firmly from practice."

(Difference from ideal play)
I think the biggest thing is that now that my ankle injury has healed, the quality of my long balls has improved significantly, so I can see the farthest when I have the ball.
I think Tokyo is also a team with a characteristic of fast vertical attacks, so I want to play soccer that allows attacking players to keep pushing forward by putting high-quality balls.

(Looking ahead)
"I didn't play in that many games last season, so I don't think I'm a player with a lot of ability yet. First, I want to do what I can and gradually contribute to the team's strength."
"I also want to do my best so that the team can continue to ride the flow towards victory."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"In the first half, the opponent took control of the pace and scored the opening goal. Recently, there have been many games with such developments, and today's match also became very challenging."
However, in the second half, we were able to play aggressively and score a goal. After that, there were both chances and risks, but in the end, we were able to finish with a draw. I think this was a step forward towards advancing to the GS. We want to continue fighting together as a team in the remaining two matches to secure qualification."

(Regarding the performance of Bruno UVINI, Manato SHINADA, and Leon NOZAWA)
"It was a long time since Shinada's last game. At first, he couldn't grasp the game sense, but I think he gradually regained his rhythm."
Regarding Bruno, it was a matter of how far he could go, but he adjusted over time and even scored the equalizing goal, which I think contributed greatly to the team.
Although it was a short time, Reion expressed what he should do for the team, so I think all three players played for the sake of winning points.

(The aim was to change the system and increase the number of defensive players, but)
"Since Yoshinori had just returned from an injury and there were many uncertain factors, considering Tokushima's way of playing, we fought until the end with a draw being acceptable."

《Tokushima・Daniel POYATOS coach》
"I am really satisfied with the team showing their strength."
"They played at a good level and showed a wonderful performance while maintaining possession. I am proud of everyone."

(The three midfielders were able to position themselves well and successfully pass the ball to the opponent, causing damage. Was that the intention?)
"There was such an intention."
I decided after consulting with the staff on where we can attack to inflict damage.
I was able to make good preparations and play well in a short time.
(League) We couldn't play well in the previous match against Kashiwa, but I feel that it is important to train diligently every day."
