Trial-match comments

Gert Engels

(Head Coach)

"We were under pressure and a bit stiff in the first half. Our formation, positioning and defensive concentration were good, but we couldn't find our natural rhythm. In the meantime, they had some set-piece chances and we also had some set-piece chances.
But today was obviously Trial we had to win, so we had to be a bit more aggressive in the second half. I think we were able to do that from the second half. Right from the start, we created a lot of interesting scenes and chances. We were able to play football in the opponent's half, and that was the most important thing. After that, it was a bit late, but Hosogai scored a goal at the right time and we were able to take a 1-0 lead. That put the opponent in a position where they had to come out. They created chances especially from set pieces, but we stayed focused and defended until the end, and we were able to get three points for the first time in a while. I think that's a very good thing.
Everyone on the team really did a great job today under pressure. I think we made a good switch after the (ACL semi-final) match against Gamba. Physically, it wasn't an easy Trial today. We used almost all of our strength on Wednesday, but we were able to recover well for today. So it was great that we did our best until the end."

Opponent team comment

Jun Suzuki

(Head Coach)

"Although we didn't get the results we wanted, the players worked really hard and fought hard. We created chances, but we just couldn't finish them off.
However, in the second half, our defensive line may have dropped back a little too much as the opponent's attacks slowly started to pick up. However, we will change our mindset and play the remaining games."
