[Player and Coach Comments]

"Sodai Hasukawa"
(Although it was an emergency appearance, the way the game started)
"I was a little nervous because I entered without warming up."
I was a little anxious in an unfamiliar position, but I tried to start with defense and demonstrate my strengths. I focused on not losing in one-on-one situations or speed and entered calmly.
After that, we conceded a goal, but I think we did well in the part of the game we entered."

(It was a very frustrating game, but looking back on the match)
"As a result, I played and lost by a large margin, so the responsibility is significant."
However, this is not the end. The season is still ongoing and we have another match coming up soon, so we need to prepare as a team once again and overcome this situation together."

(To break this current situation)
I think there is a technical aspect, but once we have come this far, the determination to fight and everyone fighting for Tokyo with all their might will lead to victory.
"I think the most important thing right now is the strong feeling of running, fighting, and winning the game in front of us together."

(Looking ahead)
"I have a strong desire to play in the game and help Tokyo win."
I want to become a player who attracts victory in both the Levain Cup and the league matches.
"We will do our best to become a team that can receive strong support from our fans and supporters."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"We entered the game trying to break the bad streak together and turn it into a positive one, despite having lost three consecutive matches. However, we unfortunately ended up losing with a significant goal difference of 0-3. It is very disappointing."
I think everyone was emotionally invested, and I think we have to continue to hold onto that feeling. It's a difficult situation, but I want to do my best with everyone to bring it to a good outcome."

(What you need to do to score)
"There are chances, but whether it goes into the goal or not is a very difficult part."
We often concede the first goal, so we want to improve on that.

(About one-third of the league matches have been completed. Regarding the gap in points with the top team)
"It is realistically a difficult situation, and I don't think we can easily say that we are aiming for first place. First and foremost, we want to focus on grabbing a victory in the next match."

(Defensive Issues)
"There are various factors that lead to conceding goals, so it is not possible to single out one thing."
"We need to thoroughly pursue things like covering each other when mistakes occur."

(It was a 300-game, but how did you feel about it?)
"Although there were no spectators, I thought that the players should feel the joy of being able to play again, and I wanted to express that on the pitch, but unfortunately it didn't lead to victory.
Losing four consecutive games is truly frustrating as a player.
However, this season, the matches are still ongoing, so I want to achieve victory in the 301st match.

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta Coach's Press Conference"
"I take responsibility for the 0-3 result at home as the coach. I think the players played until the end without giving up, and there were voices trying to score a goal until the end, so in that sense, they showed the attitude of moving forward to the next match."
However, we have been conceding goals consecutively, so we need to do something as a team.

(Regarding conceding goals at the start of the first and second halves)
"We had talked about the need to stay focused and start the game strong, but especially at the start of the first half, there were some accidents and we were slightly shaken. However, in the second half, we had that discussion and I think the players entered the game with determination."
The scene of the first goal conceded in the first half could have been handled better in another area. This season, we have been conceding goals in dangerous periods and at the beginning of matches, so we need to have another solid discussion with the players before entering the game. As the game continues with us chasing, it will always be a difficult match if we don't create a state where we can fight tenaciously."

(About the changes in Yokohama FM)
I don't think there have been any major changes. There are some aspects that have been influenced by the individual strength of Elber.
I wonder if the difference between the team that has been in very good condition since the current coach took over and ourselves who are not in good condition has become apparent."

(Regarding Renkawa's evaluation)
I think he did well.
I think it was a surprising appearance for Uchida to get injured in the first minute, but I think he played well for the entire 90 minutes.

(Cause of the 3rd goal conceded)
"The way we were dispossessed was not good, and our defensive response was also not good. I think Hasegawa was in a high position to score, so we ended up being exploited in the space. But I can't blame him."

"Yokohama FM Ange POSTECOGLOU Press Conference Summary"
"It was good content."
I was able to work hard and put pressure on the opponent. We scored three points and there were still more chances to take.
It was important to continue playing our football consistently.
"Except for the opening game, we are steadily climbing the stairs, so we want to continue doing so in the future."

(While leading by one point in the middle of the first half, Yokohama FM persistently defended even in situations that were not their time zone, and did not concede a goal, but how will that be evaluated?)
"No team can maintain a good performance for the entire 90 minutes."
The opponent has been putting pressure on us from the front, but we are confident that we are physically fitter than any other team.
"I feel like we were creating more chances to score goals and there were many parts where our hard work paid off, so I think we played a good game."
