"Masato MORISHIGE Player"
(What I felt from today's defeat)
"When the team is not doing well, you can feel it even during the game."
I felt again that the balance was off, the timing of each individual was delayed, and the ball was dropped by the opponent in the ball contest.
However, we need to gradually improve even within that.
Today, as I played as a center back, I had various thoughts and realized there are many areas where I can improve.
There, we need to have a thorough discussion within the team and work together to improve our condition. We believe that we can make it happen if we take matters into our own hands.

(He said that there is not just one factor for the defeat, but where do you think the cause lies?)
"I don't think there is a big problem with the way we play. The team has been losing and as humans, we sometimes get down. However, it is important to be able to prepare well from practice for the next game."
First of all, I think it will be important to approach it positively from the emotional aspect starting with practice.

(I think the second half was better because we changed the system and had more attacking power in the second half of the game.)
I think it was a formation that aimed to score points. In the first half, our defense didn't work well in some areas, so we played while being conscious of winning the ball in high positions.
However, it didn't go as planned, but we were able to create more chances than in the first half, and I think the new player who joined the team gave us power."

(About Bruno UVINI)
"Although we have only trained together for a few days, I felt that he is a player with a very high potential and a smart player."
"I think the players who are participating need to fight for Tokyo with more sense of responsibility, as new reinforcements are also coming in."

"Takuya AOKI"
"There was a long period of time when we were on the defensive."
I was conscious of fighting and second balls, and I was thinking of fighting to aim for the front as a team.
However, I think we lost today, including the part of the ball contest with the opponent.

(It is important to lead the team in this kind of situation)
"It is not something that can be explained easily, so I think it is necessary to thoroughly coordinate from practice."
"I think we need to share our opinions and work together to make improvements."

(Looking ahead)
"As we continue to suffer defeats, it becomes crucial for each individual to think about areas for improvement and engage in open discussions."
"I think the team should not fall apart in that part."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"We were conceded from a set piece and then in the first half we struggled to push forward."
I wanted to create a form where the forward players could aggressively push forward, but Kashima had a higher pressure and we couldn't take it to the point of going to steal the ball in the first half.
Also, unfortunately, the situation turned out to be a bit unfavorable, and we conceded a second goal. In the second half, we tried to change our approach and be more aggressive from the front, but we couldn't make it happen due to lack of strength.
"We need to bring back aggressive Tokyo football, otherwise we won't be able to overcome this difficult situation, so let's all come together and do it."

(I felt that it became quite a tough content)
"Of course, we must sincerely accept the five consecutive losses."
"I believe it is my own responsibility that I have not been able to lead the players in a good way while they are struggling and doing their best."

"Summary of Kashima Naoki Soma's Coach Interview"
"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the supporters who gathered as we welcome Tokyo at home."
I think this is the first victory of the season in the league, as the coach has only won in Levain Cup since I became the coach at home.
I am very happy to be able to celebrate together.
As for the match, Tokyo had a tight defense and aimed for counterattacks. I had that image among various pieces of information. Also, I think it was the beginning of such a game.
In that, it is important to score first, get additional points, pull away at the end, and finish with a 3-0 score. The players fought with great energy. I truly appreciate it.
Of course, in terms of points, one from a set play.
There may have been some moments where we struggled a bit, but we managed to score one goal from a set piece.
It became similar to the previous match in terms of time zone, but what was important was that we were able to score an additional goal just before the end of the first half. And in the second half, the game progressed with a 0-0 scoreline, but we were able to score a decisive goal in the end. Including those aspects, I would like to express my gratitude to the players for their complete focus and energy from the beginning to the end of today's game.
I want to show that we are ready to fight and take a fighting pose, as we will continue to have back-to-back matches in the next two days.
"We are preparing not only the players who played today, but also the remaining players, so that we can be ready to compete on the pitch and want to go to Nagoya."

(Evaluation of winning streak)
"The players shared the goal of winning streak and challenged themselves towards it."
So, if we don't bring out that power, it will be the same as what we couldn't do before. It's not about ending in a draw, but rather, it means that this game becomes an important one where we create a cycle of winning by winning in a row. I talked to the players about challenging with energy.
I was also watching from the sidelines of the pitch and felt something incredible, so I feel good about being able to make that into a reality in the end."
