Final league match! We want to win and improve our ranking, even if just a little.

　The final match of the J1 League is an away game against Oita Trinita. In the previous match, we faced Urawa, who were in contention for the championship, but we managed to prevent their celebration right in front of us. The result was a scoreless draw, but in terms of performance, we forced Urawa into a defensive position, pushing them to the brink of victory. This match is drawing attention due to the championship race and the promotion and relegation battle between J1 and J2, but for Tokyo, we will fight with all our might for victory in this match! For the fans who traveled from afar, we can only aim for victory.

　Oita is currently in 7th place. In November, they suffered three consecutive losses against Nagoya, Kofu, and Omiya, but in the last match, they secured a solid victory against Yokohama FM, showing signs of recovery. Especially today is the final home game, so their desire for victory should be strong. Coach Kuramata is cautious about the post play of FW Rafael, with speedy FW Matsuhashi making runs. It is necessary to prevent both players from moving freely with strict man-marking. Additionally, the key players in both offense and defense are the MF Edmilson and Tulio, who are both central midfielders. Particularly, MF Edmilson is also known for making runs into the forward line, so he requires special attention.

　Tokyo is without Hirayama due to his participation in the Asian Games. Baba is suspended due to accumulated warnings. Instead, Kurizawa will start in the lineup. "It's been a while since I've played, but I want to start strong. I feel like I've prepared well up to this point, and I have an image of how to play within the team, such as making simple passes and making runs into space," he said confidently. Oita will use a 3-5-2 formation, with both wing-backs pushing high up the pitch to attack, so if we can gain an advantage on the sides and play aggressively like we did against Urawa, we should have a chance to win. We want to finish strong with our passionate play.

　We want to secure victory in the final league match with a Tokyo-style performance and connect it to the upcoming Emperor's Cup. This match will be important in determining our future. Under a cloudy sky with a cold wind blowing and light rain starting to fall, the match kicked off at 2:04 PM with Oita's kickoff.
