(I think the content is not bad, but my current state of mind is)
"The opponent was tough, so I maintained a high level of concentration and fought until the end, but unfortunately, I couldn't win."

(In the late stages of the match, although he didn't shoot directly and instead trapped the ball, the intention was)
"I thought about trapping the ball and aiming for a shot because the opponent's defender was trying to clear it with a header, not shooting directly."

(Although we fought evenly against Kawasaki, as a team, the feeling of progress is)
"There is no need to be pessimistic. I want to confidently prepare for the next match."

(In the second half, I changed my position to the right side, but what was my intention?)
"I played mostly in the center this season, but I also played well on the right side last season, so I think I can do both and play without any difficulty."

(On the side, there were good crosses to Adailton and he made good runs with speed)
"I think it was a good game for the team. The part where we couldn't finish despite having chances was what we lacked today. Regardless of the position I play, I believe in giving my all to contribute to the team's victory."

(Looking back on the scene of conceding a goal)
"I think the scene of conceding a goal was a result of trying to cherish the ball that we had taken away as a team, but it ended up backfiring."
I think I could have closed the gap a little more if I had created a 2-1 situation on my own. I need to watch the footage and reflect on it.

(In terms of attack, he created many chances with passes to the back)
"There was an intention to make use of Nagai's speed since he came in."
I could see Nagai's movements myself, and Nagai also communicated well, saying "When Takumi starts moving, I'll start moving," so that part went as planned.

(The biggest sense of accomplishment I felt in today's game was)
"After winning the ball, I was able to connect it and become a starting point, as my position became an escape route."
Defense still has a lot of challenges, but we were able to show strength where we needed to be strong, and although losing is truly frustrating, I think we were able to show growth there.

"I'm frustrated."
We had more scoring opportunities, but Kawasaki's cleverness in converting them and their willingness to put their bodies on the line in dangerous situations were truly impressive as a championship team.
The opponent's emotional aspect, the part where a solid and detailed team tactic is incorporated until the end, and the ability to score a goal in one shot even with our defenders present. I think it is difficult to win against top opponents without developing the ability to respond firmly to such things. I want to improve the parts that we were able to do today and the parts that were lacking, even a little, in the last 6 matches, and finish this season in a higher position.

(Should we blame the conceded goals or the inability to score goals)
"During that period of conceding goals, there were more ball losses and we were losing the ball in dangerous areas more frequently."
The last part of the first half is also a challenge for this season, and I think it will be a key point of the game whether we can defend well when we are tired. So, when our legs were stopping, we were also calling out from the outside.
The scene of conceding a goal was taken by Leandro DAMIAO, but before that Adailton was taken and received a short counter.
Being stolen itself is inevitable, but the transition as a whole was delayed during that time period.
"I felt the strength of Kawasaki, who gave no chance and did not let it slip away."

(The challenge will be whether we can continue to score goals from this kind of attack, even though we were creating chances with fast-paced attacks)
"There was a scene where Adailton connected with Diego's cross ball, but it would have been better if he had made a solid contact. I don't think we were attacking at top speed all the time."
"However, I think that without being able to decisively score with that speed, it is impossible to take away the goal."

(Although we lost, I think we were able to do what we wanted to do both offensively and defensively.)
"Kawasaki may not be in the best condition due to consecutive matches, but today we were able to create opportunities and utilize our strengths, which is targeting the opponent's back. However, Kawasaki showed strength in not allowing us to do that, and I think they surpassed us today."

(Including substitutions, we were able to maintain the momentum of our attack until the end, but what were we thinking?)
"Today's substitutes were the ones who played aggressively."
I was deciding while thinking about which substitution card to use in order to continue the current flow and further power up.
In the second half, Takahagi and Aoki were good, so I considered continuing like this, but still, we need to put in some power to catch up at some point.
In the defensive midfield position, Mita has more attacking power than Aoki, and Ryo Aoki is more proactive in taking shots in front of the goal, which is a quality that Takahagi does not possess. We expect to utilize these aspects.
Takagawa in the first half was not bad by any means, but Nagai showed a different kind of excellence compared to Takagawa.
Also, by putting Diego on the side, we were able to create opportunities on the side and push Kawasaki.
I think we were able to play as planned in that regard."

"Kawasaki - Toru ONIKI Coach Press Conference Summary"
"First and foremost, what makes me the happiest is that the players gave their all and played with passion despite the tough schedule of two games in two days."
In the midst of hardship, we needed the support of our fans, and we received it. I believe this victory was achieved by the players and all the supporters together.
It was a tough game from the first half, but I think scoring one goal changed the flow of the game, and I expected us to switch to a defensive formation in the end.
I think they fought hard in this five-game series. I think it was a really good game."

(Regarding the defense that achieved its 15th clean sheet this season)
"I think it was tough for the defensive players because the team has a fast and powerful attack. Everyone, including Sung Ryong JUNG, put their bodies on the line and defended."
He covered well against opponents who came running so much, even in consecutive matches. The players in the front line also put pressure as much as they could. I think it was a victory that we gained by fighting as a team."

(We lined up two defensive midfielders from the middle of the second half, but)
"Even before putting Taniguchi in, we were already being pushed back and dominated by the opponent's pace."
In a sense, it could be said that there was a compromise, but it was predicted that somewhere the legs would stop in today's consecutive matches.
TACHIBANADA was covering a wide range. It would be difficult if that didn't work anymore. In addition to that, TANIGUCHI supported.
"In the very last scene, everyone defended by taking their positions, and Yu KOBAYASHI, despite being a striker, understood his role. I truly believe that each player did a good job."
