[Player and Coach Comments]

"Ryoya OGAWA Player"
(Looking back at the scoring scene)
"During halftime, I told Yoshifuji to 'look more inside', so in that scene, not only myself but also three or four other players were able to go inside, and thanks to everyone attracting attention, the ball rolled to my position. I think it was a goal that everyone was able to decide together."

(Played as a right full-back)
I think it was advantageous to play as a left-footed player in the right full-back position, as I often moved towards the inside.
"I wanted to express a different form from right-handedness, and I was able to do that."

(If selected, both will do it)
"If the coach tells me, I want to play in any position and express what I can do in the place I participate."

(What I was conscious of was winning by taking advantage of the additional points)
"We were able to score goals at a good time today and we didn't let up on our attack until the end. I think that was the factor that allowed us to have a tight game."
"We were talking about going for the next goal and stopping the opponent's momentum during halftime, so I think today's victory was won by all the members."

(Until September, there will be no home games, but for the fans and supporters)
"There were many games that couldn't satisfy the fans and supporters up to this point. Today, we were able to finish the last game before leaving Ajista Stadium for a while with three consecutive wins."
I think that being able to demonstrate our good form has given us confidence, and I hope it has also provided some reassurance to our fans and supporters.
I think we will continue to have away matches from now on, but I want to do my best to improve our ranking even if it's just one.

(About the characteristics of playing as a right back. What did you focus on?)
"Since my teammate in front of me was Victor, we talked before the game. Victor played on the side, and I positioned myself slightly towards the center. This allowed me to directly pass the ball to the player in front of me when it came from the center back."
I think it is a big advantage to be able to smoothly pass the ball to the front line.
"I feel that the width of the attack has expanded when East player spreads to the side or goes inside again."

"Kashif BANGNAGANDE"
(It was the third consecutive victory without conceding a goal, but looking back on today's match)
"We have come this far with consecutive victories, and it was good to be able to score three goals without conceding a goal in the last home game before the Olympics."

(There were many sprints and a lot of fatigue)
"There are certainly tired parts, but I feel that this level of fatigue is normal as I always have it."

(There were also cross balls that led to goals, but there was a feeling of)
"We had been sending cross balls several times in the first half, but they didn't connect well. In the second half, Diego TABA gave me the ball in a good position, so I lifted the ball believing that the players would get into it. As a result, Ogawa scored from the loose ball, and it was good that we were able to connect it to a goal."

(What kind of conversation did you have with Player Ogawa?)
"I have been having various conversations with Player Ogawa for the past few days."
"I was told to look at the opposite side as well when I had the ball on the left side during halftime, and we were exactly talking about a scene like the third goal, so I was happy that it turned out just as we had imagined."

(Regarding starting in the league matches)
"I think I'm getting used to it more than before, and I feel like I'm able to do more, but I still feel that the quality of my crosses is not good enough. However, the number of crosses is increasing, so I want to improve the quality and work on the details such as timing with the players inside."

(What I was particularly conscious of before the match)
I was conscious of going without conceding a goal as a fullback and of entering the game with concentration from the beginning.
I was aware of the beginning part because there was a time when I gave a corner kick from my own position in the previous Yokohama FC match.
Approached the game with a strong determination to contribute to scoring in the attacking aspect.

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"In the midst of aiming for Tokyo-style soccer, Oita also came in aggressively from the start, but Leandro's goal was crucial."
We were able to continue the game at our own pace due to the additional player being sent off. This was a very crucial point.
In the discussion about going for additional points in the second half, we were able to score a third goal at the beginning of the second half. Recently, we haven't been able to score additional points, but in today's match, we were able to score additional points and secure the win.
I am very satisfied with the result and content of the match.
Although we won't be able to play games at Ajinomoto for a while, we were able to deliver goals and victories to our fans and supporters before the break. I think the players have been working hard, and I want to continue this momentum."

(3 consecutive wins without conceding a goal. Regarding the fact that we were able to fight until the end without letting up)
"In the first half of the season, we conceded a lot of goals, especially in games where we fell behind. Despite that, we worked on rebuilding our defense and gradually stacking up the parts that collapsed."
It took time, but the players worked very hard and Tokyo-like aggressive defense has returned. I think that has also led to our recent opening goal.
I think being able to finish this kind of development without conceding a goal is something that will lead to the next step.

(The intention of using Ogawa as a right full-back was)
"He positioned himself in a way that he wouldn't overlap with Higashi due to their relationship. He did a very good job."
I didn't expect to score a goal, but I think they did a better job than I imagined in the attack.
In terms of defense, we had to respond properly to Oita's cross balls and the height of their forwards today. Our defensive line also did well in the aerial duels and they handled the opponent's strong points and side players properly.

"Summary of Oita Tomohiro Katanosaka Coach's Press Conference"
"In the third game of the three consecutive matches, entering the second half of the season, we faced Tokyo away and prepared to have a good game and win. However, it ended up being a disappointing result."
I knew it would be a difficult game against Tokyo, but the first half dismissal was unexpected. There were things I wanted to do within the 90-minute plan, but I couldn't quite do them and we couldn't quite match up against Tokyo with 10 players.
Accept this result and switch, and prepare for the next game anyway.
I was able to execute the ball movement and attack that I had aimed for when it was 11 vs 11, to some extent, while assuming Tokyo's press.
The team fought tenaciously against three foreign players with quality and strength in defense, but they conceded the opening goal and fell behind 0-2 in the first half. If they had ended the first half with a score of 0-1, there was a possibility of earning at least 1 point with the players' power. However, the second goal conceded was indeed painful.
However, the players fought until the end. Anyway, we want to recover and prepare well for the upcoming matches, including the Emperor's Cup.
