(It was a wonderful goal. Looking back at the scoring scene)
"I think everyone had a good start to the game, and we showed a proactive attitude by constantly moving forward."
"I believed that a perfect pass would come from Morishige and ran into the right position. A truly wonderful pass came, and I was able to drop it in a good place with a good first touch, and it was great to score a goal."

(I calmly decided while watching the GK even at the moment of the shot)
"I think the results of my daily training paid off because I had been working on it as my own challenge."

(The opponent I faced was Hiroki SAKAI)
"He was a player with speed and high physical ability, but I think it was good that I was able to take advantage of his weaknesses and score a goal."

(It was a frustrating game, but how do you feel about looking back on the entire match?)
I think if we could have made a little more effort in defense, we could have been even more threatening to the opponent.
I think there were also parts where we let the opponent have a little too much freedom, so I want to make adjustments as a challenge for the next match.
However, I don't think we lost at all in terms of our fighting spirit and mindset, and I want to continue doing that.

(I think the tenacity shown at the end will lead to the next step)
"There are parts where the players feel the response, and if they can continue to believe in it and keep doing it, I believe the results will come. I want to continue to believe in my teammates without wavering."

(The next match will be the Tama River Clasico. It will be a battle against the top team Kawasaki Frontale. My enthusiasm is)
"Continuing what we are doing now is of course important, but it is my role to do the job in the final part. I want to make good preparations to score goals and help the team."

"Ryoma WATANABE"
(I was starting for the first time in a while, but I had a plan for what kind of play I wanted to show)
"First and foremost, I was conscious of scoring goals and playing."
There were several chances to take shots, but it is necessary to score in such situations. I think there are various elements, so I want to continue doing it while thinking about what is necessary to score in the future."

(During the match, he ran around energetically both in attack and defense)
"I was told to stick closely to Urawa's wide players, so while keeping that in mind, I was also conscious of moving forward when there was an opportunity. However, I feel like it didn't go as well as I had hoped."

(How did you see your classmate, player Kei Koizumi?)
"I want to do my best not to lose because I was playing as the center of Urawa's tactics."

(In terms of defense, we were able to go forward from the beginning, but it seemed that we couldn't keep up with the pressure from the middle)
"I feel that I wanted to put more pressure from the front, but I couldn't do it."

(How to go about taking it, I couldn't determine)
"I thought I knew what I should have done, but I knew it would be difficult to tackle it alone. I wonder if there was a better way for the team to do it."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"The players ran really well in a tight schedule. I really think they fought well."
I think we could have achieved better results if we had managed the system and player substitutions well, as we were able to score the opening goal.
In that sense, the reason for today's loss lies within myself. The players are not at fault at all.
They showed a strong attitude in approaching the Urawa goal even after conceding two points, and they fought firmly until the end in terms of their emotions as well.
If we could have fought against Urawa in a fresh situation, it might have led to a different outcome.
If we win in Levain Cup, there is a possibility to continue fighting, so first of all, I want to face forward and do my best for the next Kawasaki match.

(I think we were able to overwhelm the opponent in the first half, but the tactics themselves)
"Everyone fought while maintaining discipline.
I felt that the opponent's equalizing goal in the first half was even more regrettable because it happened at that time.
It was a physically tough situation towards the end of the first half, but we were able to push back quite a bit during the water break. It was a regrettable goal conceded. I think that is the current level of our strength, so we need to further devote ourselves.

(Did we prevent goals, including bench work?)
"We knew from before the game that it would be physically demanding due to consecutive matches, so I wanted to do well in bench work and contribute to a victory."
While considering system changes, I wanted to keep things as they were if possible, but it was a goal conceded amidst the visible fatigue of the midfielder, so I felt that it was physically demanding. I thought that if we could effectively rotate players in that area, it would be ideal."

(The time that Urawa had the ball was long, but it was within expectations)
"I think that if we don't put pressure on the front line, it will develop like this. The start was good, but gradually Urawa's tactics put us on the back foot. Also, we couldn't connect the ball well after winning it."
There was no player who could become a starting point today. I think the outcome would have been different if we could connect the ball after stealing it a little more.
I think that was the reason why Urawa had the ball today.
If we could have made a little more time for ourselves, the overall impression of the game would have been different. Especially in the first half, the second half also dragged on a bit towards the end. I think that was the key point."

"Urawa Ricardo RODRIGUEZ Coach Press Conference Summary"
"It was a very difficult match."
It was a situation where we conceded the first goal, but I think the team reacted well afterwards.
Although we were conceded first, we were able to firmly control the game and create chances. Being able to equalize within the first half brought momentum to the team. There were difficult moments before the comeback, but the team fought together. It was not an easy game, but we were able to fight until the end and earn 3 points."

(After conceding a goal right after the start, how did you feel about the team's atmosphere?)
"I think the atmosphere was good."
There were shocking moments, but the players were able to stand up and play. There was also pressure from the opponent's front line, but we were able to create good chances and get close to the goal. The equalizing goal brought even more momentum. I think we were able to play without losing confidence, and I think this comeback victory will give us confidence for the future."

(We struggled to break through after being scored on, but being able to attack without getting frustrated is a sign of progress for the team)
"We were able to play while enduring patiently."
"I think we were able to play using various options, based on what we have built up so far, against such a tough opponent."
