Kosuke OTA
(It has become a difficult situation)
"It was good to end with zero, despite the continuous losses."
If I had to say something I wanted, I wanted to score a decisive goal and bring back 3 points, but there's no point in looking down, so I want to take it positively that we earned 1 point and were able to fight despite having this many injured players."

(Striving to be positive?)
"These consecutive matches were honestly tough, and we ended up with fewer players in the midfield."
In a position that requires so much hard work, I think everyone struggled, but even in the midst of a losing streak, it's important not to give up, and I believe this one point will definitely come in handy.
Remaining 10 games. After the game, Coach Hasegawa also had a conversation in the locker room, saying "Let's turn things around in the remaining 10 games" and everyone was looking forward to the next.

(Is there a strong trust in the coach?)
"Everyone has immense trust in him."
Practice can be done in a good sense of tension, and there are parts that have changed from last year.
Remaining 10 games, I am in a position to enjoy this much compared to last year. I want to turn things around from here."

(Please share your thoughts on today's match)
"We were able to maintain a compact formation and play a focused game. Scoring the final goal requires individual skill, so I think I need to practice more, including myself."
"I want to prepare well and have a good game by practicing because we have a week off from matches. I feel like I need to improve more."

(About today's position)
"It was about a year since I played as an attacking midfielder, so at first, it felt strange (laughs).
However, I still wanted to contribute to the victory, and it was disappointing that we couldn't earn 3 points, but I think it's also very important that we didn't allow the opponent to score amidst the three consecutive losses."
"I want to continue moving forward, one step at a time, one by one."

(Regarding the upcoming league matches)
"We have 10 more matches to go, and as it gets cooler from now on, I think we can still bring out the Tokyo-like aspect, so I want to approach it with solid training."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta's Press Conference"
"We had been struggling in the middle of the game, but the players gave their all in the matches this week, including the Emperor's Cup, which were played every other day. We couldn't get 3 points, but we were able to secure a valuable 1 point for FC Tokyo."
Of course, I think we had more scoring opportunities in today's game, but I believe both teams had the determination not to lose. However, we didn't want to compromise our attacking mentality until the end, so in that sense, while we were attacking, our defenders stayed focused and didn't lose concentration. We have several players who are expected to return from injuries next week, so we want to give them a week of rest and let them compete in the last 10 matches of this season."

"Summary of Shonan-Cho Kije's Press Conference"
"Thank you for your hard work. I could hear the support of many people."
I prepared with the players to deliver 3 points as we haven't been winning recently, but unfortunately we couldn't earn 3 points. However, I think it's a positive 1 point overall.
The matches against Yokohama FM and Kobe Univ at home were able to create more chances.
It was 0-1, 0-2 in the impression that we were controlling the pace of the game.
Today, there were 2-3 decisive pinches in the first half, which Akimoto stopped and turned the game around in the opposite direction.
I think if it were us until now, we would have been scored against and finished there without a doubt.

I think the ability to create chances and make a comeback in the second half has been influenced by the experience of losing to Yokohama FM and Kobe.

In the locker room after today's match, it didn't feel like any player was satisfied with just one point, and we want to build on this one point for the next Nagasaki match.
There are players who cannot play due to accumulated warnings, but I also want different players to stand on the pitch and show their energy, and I want them to play with the feeling of loving this team.

Tokyo is also a strong team, and I feel like we were able to resist them a little bit, considering they have a very high level of skill and a team with a diverse group of talented players.
"I want to recover quickly and prepare for the next game."
