Kyosuke TAGAWA
"I entered the pitch with the thought of doing my best since I was given the chance. The coach told me to produce results and sent me onto the pitch."

(They conceded a goal in the first half and found themselves in a chasing position)
"Personally, I was playing with the mindset of not drifting too much to the sides, enduring in the center, and ultimately making the decisive goal. I think what I had imagined ended up leading to a good result."

(About the scoring scene)
"It was a corner kick play, but I was able to take a good positioning. The reaction to the ball was also good, but I think it was a goal that we connected as a team. I want to thank my teammates."

(There were many opposing players in front of the goal, but did he aim for the course?)
"I didn't think about anything special in that situation. I just pushed it in. It was a goal pushed in with my feelings."

(The result is a draw)
"Everyone is not thinking about anything negative, and it resulted in a result that leads to the next. Anyway, in the next match against Yokohama FM, it would be good to score and win. I think all we have to do is clear, and just keep moving forward."

(In the end, the champion will be decided by a direct confrontation)
"Honestly, I had a strong desire to score one more goal and win today. In the next match, I want to score and help the team. And I want to win the championship."

《Keigo HIGASHI Player》
"I think we had a very good game today."
However, it is really disappointing that we couldn't win the two home games after finishing the 8 consecutive away games. Nevertheless, we have come this far with the possibility of winning the championship in the final match, so we want to end it in a good way somehow."

(Today, it was difficult for Tokyo to show its strengths due to the injuries of the two top players)
I think players like Tagawa, Na SANGHO, and Insoo YU, who came on as substitutes, did a great job despite the challenging situation and had prepared for it. They earned a valuable point for the team, and I think it was a significant draw.
Of course, we had to win, but the possibility of winning the championship is not zero. Towards becoming champions, we want to reflect on today's game for a week and prepare for the Yokohama FM match.

(In today's ceremony, he said "I will never give up", but his state of mind is)
"Since there is a possibility, I said it in my greeting, but I want to play with all my might until the last second as long as there is a possibility. I know it's a difficult mission, but I want to show what I have built up so far and end it in a good way."

(In the previous match, we scored 4 goals)
"The situation is different from the previous match, so it's hard to say for sure, but I think winning in the end is important for this team. Maybe we won't become champions. But I believe that winning has a significant meaning, so I want to keep doing my best."

(I think Tokyo is a team with a solid defense and fast counterattacks, but a victory by a 4-point difference is necessary. I have an image of fighting while breaking the form to some extent.)
"There is no such situation at the moment. It is important to continue doing what we have been doing so far. Just because we need 4 points, it doesn't mean that we will score goals if we attack. We want to confront Yokohama FM with what we have been working on once again. We don't know what the result will be, but we want to fight without wavering and make it a battle that leads to next year."

"Tokyo - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference"
"I feel like it's not easy to win."
The players fought well. They approached the goal as soon as the kickoff started. What was lacking was the opening goal. That made it a difficult situation. However, Tagawa also scored his first goal in the J1 League in Tokyo.
We were able to fight until the final match by inheriting the feelings of Nagai and Diego OLIVEIRA, who gave their all.
It is a situation where we have to hold on until the very end and win by a 4-point difference in order to turn the game around. It may be only 1%, or even less, but as long as there is a possibility, I want to fight together with the players. I am truly grateful that you, the press, have come and covered the players throughout the year.
I think it means that we still lack power. However, in the last game, I want to fight firmly."

(The away 8-game streak ended with 3 consecutive wins, but the home 2-game streak resulted in consecutive draws. The game today could have easily resulted in 3 or 4 goals. Was it a lack of mental strength and experience that prevented us from winning?)
"The players gave 100% effort. In that sense, the inability to win is a reflection of the coach's lack of ability. We need to bring out the players' potential even more. In the previous match against Shonan, due to the continuous away games, it was difficult to switch on and Shonan took control after 15 minutes. It was only in the second half that we were able to switch on."
Today, we talked about using that reflection and going aggressively with courage as a home team. Regarding today, I guess this draw couldn't be helped. Urawa is also a strong team, and if we can score one goal, they are a team that excels in defense this season and has the strength to go to the ACL finals. The players' growth was shown by somehow breaking through that and scoring one goal. However, we still need to fill the missing piece and continue to do so in the future."

(What kind of words did you say to the players after the match?)
"I think this team has been truly amazing this season, so I talked about finishing with a flourish."

"Summary of Urawa - Tsuyoshi Otsuki Coach Press Conference"
"We were able to earn 1 point in this tense away match. It would have been better to finish with a victory, but objectively speaking, even 1 point is a step forward. Looking back, it's a relief to have finished with 1 point. Either way, it was a difficult match."

(Correction at halftime)
"Basically, during the first 15 to 20 minutes, we were under a lot of pressure from their front line and gave away a lot of corner kicks and free kicks. However, in that first half, we saw a few opportunities to receive the ball. We discussed using those opportunities to calm down a bit."
Another one, I thought they would lose momentum in the middle because they were going all out from the first half. I think it would have been a disaster if that intensity had continued until the second half, so I mentioned before the game that it would be good to have a calm period there, and I think it was good that they were able to calm down at that point."
