"Kyosuke TAGAWA"
"I had been given the chance, so I entered the pitch with the determination to do my best. The coach told me to produce results and sent me onto the pitch."

(Conceded a goal in the first half and became a chasing position)
"Personally, I was playing with the mindset of not drifting too much to the side and enduring in the center to make the final decision. I think the image I had led to a good result in the end."

(About the scoring scene)
"It was a corner kick play, but I was able to get into a good position. My reaction to the ball was also good, but I think it was a goal that we all connected. I want to thank my teammates."

(There were many opposing players in front of the goal, but did they aim for the course?)
"I wasn't thinking anything special in that situation. I just wanted to push it in. It was a goal that I pushed in with my feelings."

(The result was a draw)
"Everyone didn't think about anything negative and it resulted in a positive outcome. Anyway, in the next match against Yokohama FM, we just need to score and win. We know what we need to do, so let's just move forward and focus on the future."

(The final round will determine the winner through a direct confrontation)
"I really wanted 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."

"Keigo HIGASHI"
"I think we had a very good game today."
However, it is truly disappointing that we were unable to win both of our home games after finishing our 8 consecutive away games. Nevertheless, we still have a chance to win the championship in the final match, so we want to end it in a good way.

(Due to the injuries of the two top players today, it was difficult for Tokyo to show their strengths)
"I think players like Tagawa, Na SANGHO, and Insoo YU, who came in as substitutes, worked hard for the team despite the difficult situation and were prepared for it. They were able to earn a crucial point for the team and I think it was a big draw."
Of course, we had to win, but the possibility of winning is not zero. Towards the championship, we want to reflect on today's game for another week and prepare for the Yokohama FM match.

(At today's ceremony, he said "I will never give up", but his mindset is)
"Even though the possibility is not zero, 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."

(Scored 4 goals in the previous match)
"The situation is different from the last match, so I can't say for sure, but I think it's important for this team to win in the end. We may not become champions, but I believe there is a great significance in winning, so I want to keep trying."

(I think Tokyo is a team with a solid defense and fast attack, but a victory by a 4-point difference is necessary. Do you have an image of fighting while breaking the form to some extent?)
"There is no such thing at the moment. It is important to continue doing what we have been doing. Just because we need 4 points, it does not mean that we can score goals by attacking. We want to face Yokohama FM with what we have been working on. We don't know what the result will be, but we want to fight without wavering and make it a fight that will lead to next year."

"Tokyo - Manager Masaru HASEGAWA Press Conference Summary"
"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 missing was the opening goal. That made it difficult for us. However, Tagawa also scored his first goal in the J1 league in Tokyo.
We were able to carry on the feelings of Nagai and Diego OLIVEIRA and fight until the final match.
In the end, we have to hold on and win by four points to make a comeback. It may only be 1%, or even less, but as long as there is a possibility, I want to fight with the players. For one year, I am truly grateful to all the media who have come and covered the players.
I think we still lack strength. But in the last game, I want to fight firmly."

(Away 8 consecutive games ended with 3 consecutive wins, but 2 consecutive draws at home. The game today could have easily ended with 3 or 4 points. Was it due to mental or experience reasons that we couldn't win?)
"The players gave 100% of their effort. In that sense, the inability to win is due to the lack of coaching ability. We need to bring out even more of the players' strength. In the previous match against Shonan, we couldn't switch on due to the consecutive away games, and Shonan took control after 15 minutes. It wasn't until the second half that we were able to switch on."
Today, we talked about using that reflection and going forward with courage as a home team. As for today, this draw was inevitable. Urawa is also a strong team, and if we can score one goal, they are a team that excels in defense and has the strength to go to the ACL final. The players showed their growth by managing to score one goal and open up that area. However, we still need to fill in the missing pieces and continue to do so in the future."

(What did you say to the players after the game?)
"I told them that this season, they were truly an amazing team, so let's finish with a bang."

"Urawa - Tsuyoshi OTSUKI Press Conference Summary"
"We were able to earn 1 point in this tense away game. It would have been great to end with a win, but objectively speaking, even 1 point is a step forward. Looking back, I am satisfied with ending with 1 point. It was a tough match either way."

(Correction at halftime)
"Basically, during the first 15-20 minutes, we were under a lot of pressure from their front line and gave away a lot of corners and free kicks. But in that first half, we were able to find some space to receive the ball. We talked about using that space to calm down a bit."
Another thing is that they were flying from the first half, so I thought the gear would drop off from the middle. I think it would be a terrible thing if that intensity continued until the second half, so I said before the game that it would be good to have time to settle down there, so I think it was good that they settled down there."
