Trial-match comments

Gert Engels

(Head Coach)

"It was Trial we had to win. That's how we wanted to go into Trial. In the first half, we were defeated by a shot from the other team. It wasn't like us.
There were a lot of different scenes (in the first half). After the set piece, Tatsuya had a chance, but the opponent's quick passing and the movement to get in front of the opponent's midfield were a little lacking. However, in the second half, we took control of the game. We also had a goal from Tulio, and after the score was 1-1, we were in our best period. It's unfortunate that we couldn't score a second goal despite having many chances. We knew the Antlers' result halfway through, so we were in a situation where we had to win. So we kept attacking and attacking, but in the end, the opponent's counterattack won us out.
Of course, when we have to win, there is a risk of being caught on the counter. But more than that, if we don't score when we get into a good rhythm, we won't win. That's football. It's become much more difficult to win the championship. But, mathematically, there is still a chance. So we have to keep going until the end."

Opponent team comment

Kenta Hasegawa

(Head Coach)

“Today was a really great stage, in a situation where the Reds had to win, and in a packed stadium, I think we played a really great game.
It wasn't easy to win here and have a press conference, so I always got comments like 'I don't have enough power'. Our players played really well today, and many supporters gave us their support. I think I played a game that I can't say anymore. There were some parts that I couldn't read about the Reds' lineup and positions. However, when I was looking at the situation while doing a little close-up, I thought that Hirakawa would probably come to the left and Hosogai would come in the form of right back. I talked to the players about that, and I prepared so that no matter what form the Reds take, the football we are aiming for today will not change. The position of the player was a little different than I expected, but he handled it well. After a long time, Yajima stepped out of the way and did a big job. I can't help but say any more, so I think you did a really good job."
