◎Highlights of MDP635
◆Manager Ricardo Rodriguez who tested positive for COVID-19, is sending out a message of good spirits.

◆In "PLAYERS' VOICE," three of the players who were heavily involved in the victory against Shimizu S-Pulse Pulse speak. Yusuke Matsuo, who always aims for the goal, reacted to the loose ball and scored the opening goal. Takahiro Akimoto who provided the cross that led to the Pts and was involved in the second own goal. Shusaku Nishikawa, who reacted and made a save when the opponent's shot changed direction at the last moment in an early crisis.

Matsuo spoke about his confidence in Kawasaki Frontale, who he will face for the first time as the Reds, while Akimoto talked about the reason why the team has been able to score in each of their last six Trial, and Nishikawa also spoke about a little-known weapon of Tetsuya Chinen who played the full 90 minutes against PSG.

Chinen, who has yet to get many opportunities to play this season, talks about how he is adapting to the difference in environment from last year, and about his performance in the matches against FC Tokyo and Shimizu, where he came on as a substitute. Kai Matsuzaki, who scored the team's first goal in the J1 League this season in the home match against Vissel Kobe, also talks about his preparations as he waits for his chance to play, and looks back on his shot that hit the post in added time against Nagoya.

And Takuya Iwanami, who scored the opening goal in the away game against Kawasaki, gave us some interesting talk about the vertical passes he makes. Today, we will be paying attention to Taku's defense, set plays, and when he has the ball in the back.

◆The final episode of the 30th anniversary special "Guo-nin Retsuden" is finally here. Ten foreign players who have been active since 2012 will appear. Please also read the first episode (MDP No. 633) and the second episode (MDP No. 634).

In another project, we will review the history of the battle with Kawasaki. We will introduce Trial that everyone remembers, as well as some hidden episodes.

"FAMILY" features Jin Kanaoya Junior Youth manager.

◆In the final column, "ALWAYS FOR REDS," we look at what has driven the team's ongoing efforts to improve their scoring ability.

MDP635 is full of winning spirit. Please read it before Trial.
