We took the lead, and it looked like we could score more, but we couldn't, and then in the end, we were tied with a free kick, and it was a situation where either of us could have won. In the end, we ended up with one point, and with only three games left, it's true that we're in a very tough situation, but we still have three games to play, and if we win three in a row, I think we still have a chance, so we won't give up until the very end, and we'll fight in the remaining three games.

Q: You've conceded goals early in your previous two matches, and at yesterday's press conference you said that not starting the match well was the reason for your losses. But how did you start today, you had both opportunities and crises, but how do you view it in light of past matches?
A: We had some dangerous moments with set pieces today, but apart from that we were able to control the game well and progress through the first half, and we even scored the opening goal, so I think we could have improved in that area. However, in the second half, perhaps because we were tired or worn out from contact in the Asian games, we made a few more mistakes. Normally, if the team is in good condition, I think we can recover well after making such mistakes, but it's only just the start of the season, and the team isn't in good condition, so I think we made it difficult for ourselves to play the game, so I think it was a very disappointing game.

Q: Regarding offense, we tried to pick up the tempo and I think we had some good offensive moves in the first half, but how do you evaluate your offense and what do you think the team needs to improve on for the remaining three games?
A: We had a good tempo in our attacks, and I think we were able to break down the defense and create chances. Abe picked up a cross from the side and scored, but I think there were other decisive moments, so I think the fact that our two strikers have not scored in these three games is also a factor in our team not getting on track, so I'm looking forward to seeing our forwards step up. None of the three games were games where we lost possession or content, so if we can win one of the remaining FW games, I think we have the power to win consecutive games. First of all, the away game in Buriram will be a very tough game, but we will give it our all and fight.

Q: You said you were hoping for the FW to step up, but from your perspective as the Head Coach, how do you think the two FW are doing?
A: I think both of them created scoring opportunities. I think they were going to be tight-marking us until the very end, and we were not without chances, so I want to ask them to show the ability to score in those situations.
