"Ryoma WATANABE"
(What I felt when I stepped onto the pitch)
"Honestly, at first I couldn't get into the game because it had been a really long time since I last felt this sensation."
I remembered the sensation as time passed, and my body also got used to it, but I still felt that more adjustments were necessary.
"I want to gradually build up so that I can achieve results."

(What I was conscious of during the play)
"Of course, first and foremost, it was about catching up to the tie."
"I had a desire to contribute to the team by showcasing my own strengths, but things didn't go well and there were also some easy mistakes, so I need to reflect on it."

(How have you been adjusting up until today, including training matches?)
"I was training with everyone, but in the beginning stages, it was a struggle just to keep up."
I feel that there are still many areas that are lacking, even though I have been able to come this far by adding extra training on my own. I want to continue to improve my condition.

(What I am conscious of while playing on the right side)
"At this stage, I am organizing my play by talking to the coach, timing when to move inside, timing when to open up to the outside."
There are also parts that particularly refer to the play of Tokyo players. I am organizing the necessary things to bring out my strengths in addition, so I want to further refine them in the future."

(About the collaboration with Ogawa and Suzuki, the right fullback)
"We started playing together recently, so we haven't had many opportunities to practice together yet."
There are parts that I am gradually grasping, and I also want to play considering how to make the most of their strengths.
I think I can play well gradually and fluidly in the game.

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"It's really disappointing that we couldn't win the game, but we can think positively about the performance, and these things happen in a long season."
It is important to make use of today's game and we are able to have a good fight even away. I think it is important to continue with confidence.

(Difficult parts in Tosu's way of playing)
I thought their positioning and tactical understanding as a team were high. There were scenes where we were done by the opponent, but there were also parts where we intentionally took the ball away in response to the opponent several times. We were able to fight while talking with everyone and making adjustments during the match.
I think the next Sapporo team will come to fight while changing the system, and I have a good image.
"Since we couldn't score as a team today, we want to challenge ourselves in that aspect."

(I expect him to contribute to the goal of the team)
"I think every game is an opportunity for me to showcase myself. I don't have a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup, so I always play with a sense of crisis, knowing that I have to perform well in every game, including scoring goals and providing assists."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"In the end, Tosu took the lead and we couldn't score."
I think there were scenes where we were able to bring the ball into a good shooting position in terms of content.
Of course, it is important to continue building on that, but when it comes to the competitive aspect, we need to pay attention to the finer details. We were outsmarted by the opponent in the scenes where we conceded goals, starting from our own build-up, and it truly became a game that exemplified "this is football".

(I think the content was not bad, but how can we improve the quality for the next time?)
"I think we played a very tight game compared to the loss in the first half at home, but we need to win against top teams in these kinds of matches to move up."
I think there will continue to be tough battles ahead, and in such situations, it will become a game of whether we can score or prevent a goal.

(I think we were able to launch powerful attacks towards the end of the game)
"Today, players like Tagawa were not in the lineup, so I think it was crucial whether the players who came on as substitutes could score."
Especially in summer matches, it becomes a total battle in the end, and players who can score a goal in such a tight situation will become necessary in the future."

(The improvement strategy in a situation where the opponent takes the lead, like today)
I think there is no choice but to keep going.
The opponent's player was giving it their all until the very end today.
However, in the first half, there were scenes where Adailton came close to scoring several times, and Ogawa had scenes where he was able to take a shot in a good position and score first. I feel that it will be necessary to have a situation where we can score from the side when the opponent tightens the middle.
Patiently, I aim to deliver a good cross from the side and the only remaining challenge is the mid-range shot.
There are many players who are working hard from practice, and I want to make sure that we can score when the opponent is trying to secure the win at the end.

"Summary of Tosu Koichiro Katafuchi Head Coach Press Conference"
"I am happy to be able to deliver 3 points to over 8,000 supporters today."
Also, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for being able to send off Daichi Hayashi (from Tosu to Sint-Truiden) in a good way, the efforts of all the players, and the atmosphere created by the supporters.
It was very good in terms of being able to score in the first half as planned. However, we made several mistakes that we should not have made and allowed the opponent to bring out their power, which made it difficult for us to find our rhythm. As for the second half, we made adjustments in defense. By making slight adjustments to our positioning and approach, we were able to stabilize, but it is also true that we were unable to bring out the same power as before.
However, we were somewhat prepared for that, so I appreciate everyone for enduring it well. I want to acknowledge that we were able to keep the goal difference at zero and ultimately convert it into 3 points.
However, I think it is necessary to continue making efforts without neglecting the accumulation of efforts on how to bring this to the ideal form, as it is not the desired game content.

(The previous match was a situation where we were caught up after taking the lead, but today we succeeded in holding on. What we emphasized in the defense in the second half was)
"First, we set a certain line to prevent an open game and put pressure on."
"By giving the opponent space, it increases the individual strength of Tokyo, so we lower the line to some extent to make it more compact, and then respond tenaciously. I think we were able to manage it well by dividing the people more in the center."
