Trial-match comments

Ricardo Rodriguez

(Head Coach)

"I think it was a tough game. Sapporo is a team that plays a unique style of football, such as pressing from the front, and I think we played very well against that team in the first half. We weren't just attacking, we were pressing from the front, and I think we also did a good job of defending in front of our own goal. However, even after we scored one point, we had several chances, such as from set pieces and Kasper Aalund Junker 's close shot. I think the fact that we weren't able to score more points in those situations is a regrettable thing about the first half.

In the second half, I think we were able to attack well in the opponent's territory, but we conceded the equalizer. I think it was a goal that could have been prevented. After that, the opponent's sending off may have had an impact, but we created several chances after that. There were some close calls, such as Esaka's shot.

This time we faced a difficult opponent, so I didn't think it would be an easy Trial, but I feel like we didn't get the three points we wanted."

Opponent team comment

Petrovic

(Head Coach)

"I think today's game was a great one with high intensity. Although we conceded a goal from a penalty in the first half, I think the players remained calm and played the game well. As always, we pressed very hard from the front and with short counterattacks after stealing the ball, and even when the opponents came pressing us, we moved the ball well from the back to evade their pressure, creating several chances. In the second half, I think the players stepped up another gear and created chances. I think the players showed their usual great play until the end.
​
That was the content of Trial, but there is something I feel I need to comment on at today's press conference. That is about the referee. For 17 years, I have been working hard as a club manager to improve the Japanese soccer world, and I believe I am one of the people who have influenced Japanese soccer to a greater or lesser extent. In that context, I think that if the level of the referee does not improve, it will be difficult for the level of Japanese soccer to improve.
​
In that sense, I don't think the refereeing today was very good. I don't mean to criticize the refereeing, but there are very sensitive aspects to whether a handball was a handball or not, and whether to look at the VAR (Video Assistant Referee). Why did they go and look at the footage when Ayano (Takuma) was sent off? Why didn't they check the footage when our shot hit the opponent's hand? Those were some of the things that were questionable, but I think there's no doubt that the refereeing was not good throughout Trial.
​
The players fought to the end in a very tough game, and even though they were down a man halfway through, they put their bodies on the line to defend, and showed their determination to create the few chances they had and go for the goal. I would like to praise the players for their truly excellent play. I would like to praise the players for running and fighting well to the end in a very tough situation, and for fighting to the end to aim for the goal, and I think the performance they showed was truly amazing. I think they played a very good game.
​
I think fair play is important in sports. Even when fighting fiercely, I think it's important to respect the opposing player, and even when fighting fiercely, I think both sides must play fair. In a scene today, one of our players was down, and our player saw it and kicked the ball out. In the subsequent throw-in, I think it would be fair play to return the ball to Sapporo, but they didn't do that and continued playing. I don't think there was any fair play in this play. I've been in the professional world for 47 years, but I can say that this is the first time I've experienced such an incident. As a player and a coach, I have always valued fair play, so this is a very disappointing part. If one of our players did the same thing, I think I would replace that player immediately. That's how much I expect fair play from my players, and I think that such things are important in sports.
​
Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the supporters who supported our players until the very end. Thank you for your support today.
​
I thought that question would come up after six consecutive draws, but since there are no questions, I'll wrap it up here."
