"Joan OUMARI"
(Looking back at the goal scene)
"It was the opening goal that we were able to score amidst not being able to win recently."
The team has been working really hard together, but we haven't been able to win, so we had a strong desire to win this game no matter what, and we were genuinely happy to score the opening goal."

(I think you fought hard today as well)
"There were many scenes where I had to put my body on the line today, but I always strive to give my all for the team to win."
I think that could be demonstrated throughout the game."

(How do you feel about the improvement in condition compared to the beginning of the season?)
"I feel that I have improved a lot within myself."
Compared to the time when I didn't have the opportunity to play, I always approached practice at 100% but the intensity of the game and the intensity of practice are different. Now, by continuing to play in matches, my condition is improving day by day.

(Regarding the aspect of contributing to the team by achieving personal results)
I think that the overall team performance was not bad even in the games I played, such as the lost game against Tosu and the drawn game against G Osaka.
However, various circumstances overlapped and could not lead to results.
We were able to create more chances ourselves in today's match. We were able to turn that into a victory today. I think we can approach the next match with confidence as a team with this result, and I want to prepare well for the Kobe match."

Kensuke NAGAI
(Today's game, not only contributed in attack but also in defense, but what kind of feelings did you play with?)
"We were able to defend well by cooperating with Takahagi player and closing the middle tightly, otherwise the whole team would have been pushed back."
There were many opportunities for attack, but we were unable to finish them off, so we want to work together to improve in that area.
I think there is a challenge of needing to make it easier to win.

(Ryo NAGAI's dynamic play was leading the team)
I thought I had to lead the team to victory because we hadn't been able to win for a long time since my last start.
It was very good that players who don't usually play were able to contribute to the team's victory.
Diego OLIVEIRA player decided in the end, and I think the team will gain momentum, so I want to continue to do my best.

(I think there is fatigue from playing the full game, but we have an away game against Kobe in 2 days. How do we want to fight next?)
"I want to fight like today and do our best together. Kobe has many famous players, so it's simple and enjoyable to compete against them. It's also a proactive challenge to see how far our own strength can be effective against a higher-ranked opponent."

"Yojiro TAKAHAGI"
"I played today with the intention of helping the team, as I was given a chance in consecutive matches."

(It was a game played with a fresh lineup, but we felt the difficulty in the way we fought)
"There is no difficulty."
I was thinking about playing without fear of failure and how much I could contribute to the team.
"There's no point in thinking about complicated things, so I just focused on playing."

(Although there were good aspects throughout the match, were there any areas that you felt were challenges?)
"Since we couldn't make decisive plays, we want to focus on that moving forward."
I think that is a necessary part for myself, and I still want to continue to see it as a challenge.

(The next match will be against the energetic Kobe)
I think players who didn't play in today's match will also be involved as it will be the second day since the last match.
"We want to do our best to win 3 points away in a team effort."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"It was a game where we continued to attack from the beginning and had many chances. I think our attacking attitude paid off until the end. The opponent's goalkeeper started to make contact midway through, and it became a difficult situation, but it was a big thing for the team to finally break through and score a goal."
"I want to continue this and fight hard in the next Kobe match as well."

(Regarding the evaluation of Takahagi and Nagai)
"I think they did a great job. Takahagi had scoring opportunities towards the end, but couldn't convert them. However, he controlled the team enough to make up for it throughout the game. The two had the opportunity to train together in the second team and showed a good combination there. They were able to create many chances from their starting point today as well. I really think they did well until the end."

(The next Kobe match will be the last game of the away series)
I want to continue fighting in a total war in the next match.
I want to give my all since the away matches in the league will end for now after the next one.
It is a tight schedule with travel in just two days, but I believe that the team's morale will continue to rise with today's victory.
Kobe is having a very fulfilling game, but I want to go all out and collide.

(Regarding the intention of Morishige entering as a defensive midfielder)
"In the first half of the league, Morishige played as a defensive midfielder and we had discussed the possibility of him playing in a game like today's as a substitute for the defensive midfielder. He did a very good job. Morishige has not only played as an anchor but also played in games as a double defensive midfielder, so I think he did it without any discomfort."

(About Joan OUMARI)
"He is a very emotional and passionate player, but he has become much calmer in his play. There were various problems as a center back in the games where we conceded a lot of goals in the first half of the season, but I think he has now come to understand the team's organization and way of playing and can perform well."
"In addition, Joan's selection was made based on his good feed and strong interpersonal skills. We cannot rely solely on Morishige and Watanabe in consecutive battles, so I feel that Joan is also playing well here."

"Summary of Sendai - Makoto TEGURAMORI Coach's Press Conference"
"Despite saying that August is the month of determination, we have been unable to win consecutive matches. After the heavy defeat in the previous round, this time the players tried to show a rebound mentality and gave their all for 90 minutes, aiming for 3 points."
Today, I think it's a sign of getting 3 points that a long-awaited goal was born from a set play and that we can score points even from set plays."

(Regarding being scored on from a corner kick by Joan OUMARI and having a penalty kick taken from a corner kick at the end)
"There were also moments where we allowed them too much freedom. I think we need to reflect on allowing them to play too freely."

(Regarding starting the system in a 4-2-3-1 formation)
"The intention was to be able to receive the ball by passing through when aiming for the space behind the full-back, if there is an attacking midfielder."
"We shifted to a two-top formation when we pressed, and we aimed to create a situation where both forwards could effectively get into the box for a cross ball from the middle of the second half."
