(It became a difficult situation)
"It was good that we were able to finish without conceding any goals despite the ongoing losses."
If I may say so, we had some clear chances, and I wanted to take home 3 points, but there's no point in looking down, so I want to positively acknowledge that we at least secured 1 point and that we were able to compete despite the number of injuries.

(Strive to be positive?)
"This series of matches has honestly been tough, and we've had fewer people in the midfield.
In a position that requires that much hard work, I think everyone found it tough, but even amidst consecutive losses, I believe that not losing is also important, and this point '1' will definitely come into play.
10 matches remaining. After the match, Coach Hasegawa also said, "Let's make a comeback in the remaining 10 matches," and everyone was looking forward to the next challenge.

(Is there strong trust in the coach?)
"Everyone has immense trust in him."
We are able to practice with a good sense of tension, which is different from last year.
With 10 matches remaining, we are in a position where we can enjoy this much compared to last year. I want to make a comeback from here.

(Please share your thoughts on today's match)
"We were able to maintain a more compact formation than usual and played a focused match. I think scoring the final goal comes down to individual skill, but we, including myself, need to practice much more.
Since we have a week off before the next match, I want to prepare well so that we can have good practices and a good game. I feel that I need to improve more.

(About today's position)
"It was my first time playing as an attacking midfielder in about a year, so I felt a bit strange at first (laughs)
Still, I wanted to contribute to the victory, and it's disappointing that we couldn't earn 3 points, but I think it was very important that we didn't allow the opponent to score during our three consecutive losses.
I want to move forward step by step, one at a time.

(About the upcoming league matches)
"There are 10 matches left, and it will start to get cooler from here. I believe we can still showcase the essence of Tokyo, so I want to train hard and prepare well."

《Tokyo - Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference Summary》
"Although we had a tough series of matches in the midfield, the players gave everything they had in this week of consecutive matches, including the Emperor's Cup, with just two days in between. We couldn't secure the 3 points, but for us (FC Tokyo) right now, it was a significant 1 point gained.
Of course, I think we had more chances in today's game, but I believe both teams had the feeling that they couldn't lose. However, I didn't want to lose our attacking mindset until the end, so in that sense, we kept attacking while the players in the back remained focused and responded well. There are a few players who might be able to return next week due to injuries, so I want to make sure they rest their bodies for a week and prepare to fight in the last 10 matches of this season.

《Summary of Shonan Coach Kiyoshi Choi's Press Conference》
Thank you for your hard work. I could really hear the cheers from many people.
We hadn't been able to win recently, so we prepared together with the players to somehow deliver the three points, but unfortunately, we couldn't secure them. However, overall, I think it's a positive point of one.
We created more chances in the home matches against Yokohama FM and Kobe.
It was 0-1 and 0-2 with the impression that we were controlling the pace of the game.
Today, there were 2 to 3 critical chances in the first half, which Akimoto stopped, and it turned into a match where we seized the momentum in the opposite way.
Without a doubt, if it were the way we used to be, I think we would have conceded a goal there and ended up losing.

In the second half, I think we were able to create some chances thanks to the experience gained from losing to Yokohama FM and Kobe.

It felt like no player in the locker room after today's match was satisfied with just one point, and I want to make sure we carry this one point into the next match against Nagasaki.
There are players who cannot participate due to accumulated warnings, but I want other players to step onto the pitch and show their dynamism, and I want them to play with a love for this team.

Tokyo is a strong team, and I feel that we were able to put up some resistance against a well-organized team with very high skills and a diverse group of players.
I want to recover quickly and prepare for the next match.
