"Kosuke OTA"
"It was a game we wanted to win, but I think this one point will definitely come in handy."
The atmosphere in the locker room after the game was also really good, so we need to continue to have good competition in practice for the next game.
We still believe we can turn things around in the last 7 games and the atmosphere is positive.
The atmosphere after the last few games has improved. We need to continue this into the next game.

(Isn't it a big deal to score one point?)
"Even if we created chances, one point was really far away."
Although it is just individual strength, we want to take the positive view that we were able to score one point against the top-ranked Hiroshima.

(He was making changes with set plays)
"Since PATRIC was always near, I sent it to the far side."
Although there were times when the players inside couldn't be seen due to the lighting, they still had a shared understanding of where to aim.
"We need to score from set pieces soon, and we will definitely win at home next time."

"Lins"

(Nice goal!)
"I received the ball in the midfield and saw Diego OLIVEIRA's movement, so I passed it there. After that, I ran into the area shouting loudly. I think my voice was heard, and a good cross came, so all I had to do was finish it."

(There was a good combination with Diego OLIVEIRA in the first half)
"There was a good ball from Diego OLIVEIRA in the first half, but we couldn't score because our strides didn't match."

(Is this one point a good opportunity for the team?)
"Today's game was fought by everyone. I think it was a game where we were able to fight as one team. The game was good. We were behind, so if I had scored in the first half, it would have been a much easier game. That's unfortunate, but I think it was a good game today."

(What did you shout when you scored?)
"I shouted 'Diego!'"

(Started for the first time in 3 games)
"It was my first start in a while, but I got a cramp in my leg. Other players also got cramps, so today's game was just that hard. I want to prepare well for the next game."

"Tokyo - Manager Kenta HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"

"It was a difficult situation after Hiroshima took the lead, but I think the players did a good job catching up. Of course, considering the number of games and points, it was a match where we wanted to take home 3 points, but it's not easy to break through Hiroshima's strong defense. In that sense, I was hoping to aim for the final winning goal from a form of taking the ball from the midfield and scoring with (Kensuke) Nagai's shot. However, I think the attacking style that the players have been working on this week was able to be shown in various places, so we will continue to train and prepare well for the next home match against Shimizu to earn 3 points."

Q=Did you choose Diego OLIVEIRA as an option because you saw fatigue, as you mentioned the intention of bringing in Yonemoto?

"There were several consecutive corner kicks, and before that, there was a signal from the bench from the player. The player was unable to move due to a leg cramp. Since there were continuous corner kicks and free kicks, I did not substitute him, but after they ended, the player looked at the bench and asked to be substituted. He had been running well until then, and I wanted to keep him in the game if possible, but in the end, I hesitated between Yajima and Yonemoto, and ultimately chose Yonemoto."

"Hiroshima - Manager Hiroshi Jofuku Press Conference Summary"
"Unfortunately, we couldn't get the 3 points we wanted with the support of nearly 20,000 fans."
We had a good first half, but there were problems at the start of the second half. If we had kept the 1-0 lead for longer, I think the opponent would have lost their balance. However, they caught up with us at the beginning of the second half, and the game settled down a bit.
With some space opening up and both teams going back and forth, Tokyo also had individual strength, so there were dangerous situations created. We were pushed back for the last 10 minutes, but when we couldn't organize ourselves, it felt like we were being pushed back a bit.
There are many things to reflect on, but in any case, we regret not being able to fight while understanding the situation at the start of the second half a little more."
