[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kosuke OTA"
(It was a difficult development)
"It was good to end with a zero while losing continuously."
If I were to be greedy, I wanted to take home 3 points by creating a decisive opportunity, but there's no point in looking down, so I want to take the positive view that we were able to earn 1 point and fight despite having this many injured players."

(Strive to be positive?)
"This consecutive game was honestly tough, and we ended up with fewer players in the midfield."
I think everyone was struggling in such a hard-working position, but even in the midst of consecutive losses, 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 Masaru HASEGAWA also talked about "Let's turn things around in the remaining 10 games" in the locker room, and everyone was looking forward to the next game.

(Is the trust in the coach strong?)
"Everyone has immense trust in him."
We are able to practice in a good sense of tension, and there are some changes from last year.
Only 10 games left, and we are in a position where we can enjoy it compared to last year. We want to make a comeback from here.

"Keigo HIGASHI"
(Please share your thoughts on today's match)
"We were able to maintain a compact formation and play a focused match. The final goal was a matter of individual skill, so I think we need to practice more, including myself."
"I want to prepare for a good game by practicing well, as I have a week off before the match. My impression is that 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).
Still, I wanted to contribute to the victory and it was disappointing that we couldn't get 3 points, but I think it was very important to not allow the opponent to score in the midst of a 3-game losing streak."
"I want to move forward one step at a time, one by one."

(About the upcoming league matches)
"We have 10 more games to go, and as it gets cooler, I think we can still show our Tokyo style. So, I want to approach the matches with solid training."

"Press Conference Summary of Tokyo's Manager Kenta HASEGAWA"
"We have been struggling in the middle of the season, but the players gave their all in the past week with back-to-back games including the Emperor's Cup. We couldn't get 3 points, but for now (FC Tokyo), getting 1 point is a big achievement."
Of course, I think we had more scoring opportunities in today's game, but I think both teams had the determination not to lose. However, we didn't want to give up our attacking mindset until the end, so in that sense, our players in the back were able to stay focused and respond well while attacking. We have some players who should be able to return from injuries and such next week, so we want to give them a week to rest and fight in the last 10 games of the season."

"Summary of Shonan Choukije Coach's Press Conference"
"Thank you for your hard work. I could hear the cheers of many people."
Despite not being able to win recently, we prepared and faced the game with the players in order to deliver 3 points, but unfortunately we couldn't get them. However, overall I think it's a positive 1 point.
Yokohama FM and Kobe matches played 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 moments in the first half, but Akimoto stopped them and the game turned into a flow in the opposite direction.
I think if it were us before, we would have conceded and ended up losing there without a doubt.

In the second half, we were able to create some chances and make a comeback, which I think is due to the experience of losing to Yokohama FM and Kobe.

In the locker room after today's game, there was a feeling that no player was satisfied with just one point, and we want to make sure to carry this one point into the next game against Nagasaki.
Some players may not be able to play due to accumulated warnings, but I want to see other players on the pitch, playing with passion and love for this team.

Tokyo is also a strong team, and I feel like we were able to resist a little against a well-organized team with very high skills and unique players.
"I want to recover quickly and prepare for the next game."
