Trial-match comments

Gert Engels

(Head Coach)

"It was a very intense, fast and good Trial. Today was the eighth Trial of an eight-game streak for both teams. Considering that, I'd say the intensity and speed today was good.
From our perspective, we started Trial very well. We played according to our game plan in the first half. We could have scored a goal. However, we had two or three chances on the counter in the first half. It would have been better if we had taken those chances and made it 2-0.
In the second half, we defended well at the opponent's pace. The opponent did not want to end the game at 0-1. I wish they had kept the ball calmer or counterattacked. I don't know about the penalty kick, but I think 1-1 was a fair result looking back at the 90 minutes.
The important thing is that we got a point. It's difficult to aim for a 0-0 draw in the second leg, but it's a small plus.
It's a bit disappointing about the yellow card, but we had some good players on the bench today so I think we can cover for them."

Opponent team comment

Akira Nishino

(Head Coach)

“It wasn’t that the content was bad, and it went very smoothly, and honestly, it was a game that I really wanted to win. Around halftime, the players said that this kind of game shouldn’t be played and that they had to turn it over. Today's Reds didn't seem to be the Reds.While trying to be more aggressive, in the second half, quite tough balls started to enter the front line.Overall, the movement has been activated little by little.Penalty penalty I think the kick is the same result.
In the first half, I felt that we were still doing possession of “escape”. However, in the second half, we had a lot of crossing balls and wedge balls that were difficult to hit vertically, so there was an atmosphere that if we could get one, we could overturn it. I think that the posture of folding without suppressing the whole was not bad. Overall, I think I was in control of the game. As always, I can't decide. Myojin and Hashimoto won't be forced to take a lot of risks and start playing, and I think they can play games with more stable possession, but right now it can't be helped. I think that the content of the game will be to take advantage of the few good opportunities while holding back like this.
I think it was our handicap that gave away goals. But I was able to set a clear goal of winning, so I want to make the second leg more aggressive.”
