Trial-match comments

Gert Engels

(Head Coach)

"We really wanted to win today, so we entered Trial well, prepared well, and wanted to play football in the opponent's half. We did that well until the 20th or 25th minute of the first half. We created chances, had some corner kicks, and took some shots. After that, the opponents started to pressure us, and we dropped back a little too far, allowing them to take a shot. But then Soma scored a goal, and everyone calmed down a little.
In the second half, as you can see from the timing of the goal, we made quick passes, shots, and the second goal came at a good time, which was good. After that, we were able to control the game for the most part. Our passes were good, and when Nagai scored the third goal, I thought Trial was decided.
But after that, the players got a little too excited and went for the fourth goal rather than defending, and we were on the offensive instead. I wish they had played a little more calmly and with more confidence in those situations. But looking at the 90 minutes, I think it was good that the players showed their desire to win. Of course, it's been a while since we've scored a goal in the J.League, and we finally won for the first time in a while. I'm very happy."

Opponent team comment

Jun Suzuki

(Head Coach)

"I think the players fought well for the entire 90 minutes, but it's a disappointing result. We didn't start off well, but I think it was a decent performance. From the middle of the game onwards, we gradually lost the ability to apply pressure and were unable to contain the opponent's attacks. We should have been a little more patient, but we couldn't hold on and ended up conceding goals.
In the second half, we tried to energize the team by bringing in young, energetic players, but we couldn't reach the final goal. The next Trial is coming up soon, so we want to be in good condition for the next Trial.
