"Keigo HIGASHI player"

"The first half was evenly matched, I think. However, Shimizu had a faster start. We had to do more because it was a home game. "We couldn't fight." I realize that we still lack strength. I want to think about what each of us should do, organize what needs to be done, and rebuild. " (What were the factors that prevented you from fighting?) "There is also a mental impact. We haven't been able to win for a month and a half, and it feels like we've lost confidence... There are stresses and worries that we didn't feel when we were winning, and I think that's leading to hesitation in our play."

Striving hard from practice, we want to regain confidence together and once again create a "winning atmosphere" and become a strong team.

"Kiichi Yajima Player" 

（Before participating）
"We were two points behind, but as a team, we felt that we had few shots.
The coach also instructed us to become targets in the front line and enter the goal area from there.
I thought about entering the goal area with power and scoring at least "one point" by connecting with a cross.
I wish I could have shown more of my strengths..."

(Even though it was a short time?)
"The starting players are working hard and making the opponents tired, so even in a short time, I want to become a forward who can score a "one-shot" goal.
I still lack the power..."

"Today is a special day for the club. In the alumni match, the players I admired and the coaching staff who taught me the joy of soccer were on the pitch, and I wanted to watch them too.
However, for me, being able to participate in this match is a plus.
Scoring in a match like this is important for me and for the team, and I had a strong desire for it."

(Also as a savior?)
"I don't want to be a "savior".
I just want to demonstrate my strengths and give my all to contribute to the team.

Although we are going through a difficult situation, this is the time for young players to bring momentum and attract those who can see that "something has changed".
I want to continue approaching with high motivation."

"Summary of Tokyo Hasegawa Kenta Coach Press Conference" 

"I feel really sorry for the fans and supporters who came to watch today. The players couldn't perform. This is my responsibility as a coach. I'm disappointed and wondering why the game turned out like this. The rain was the same for both teams, but the ball didn't move as much as in the previous match. In such circumstances, with the 20th anniversary event taking place and legends, fans, and supporters coming, I wanted the players to show more passion and I had to make them show it. In that sense, I wanted to put in players like Yonemoto who can fight and give a boost to the team, but the gears went awry and never meshed until the end. If we keep playing like this, we won't win anywhere. We will train desperately next week and fight with the players to achieve results before the break."
