□Comments from Masato MORISHIGE
"I don't feel the significance of reaching 400 matches just yet, but through the matches I've played in Tokyo and Oita, I've been able to come this far. There were good times and not-so-good times, but looking back now, I remember various matches that I've had."
However, the happiest thing is that we were able to win today.
There are seniors who have played in 500 and 600 matches, so I want to keep desperately chasing after them.
Additionally, we have received comments from players who have sweated and fought together at FC Tokyo, as well as from those who are currently fighting alongside us.
