Trial-match comments

Ricardo Rodriguez

(Head Coach)

[Director Ricardo Rodriguez]
"I think there were about two accidents today. After we took the lead with a penalty kick, we had a second penalty kick, but we weren't able to go into the half-time break with a score of 2-0. And then there was the moment we conceded the goal. We conceded a second goal straight after the first. That's an area we need to improve on. However, I think the team rose well after being turned back and did what they needed to do. I think we were able to find good vertical space to attack, and we created several chances from there. I think we were able to damage the opponents and create chances. The decisive moments came when Matsuo (Yusuke)'s shot hit the crossbar, and when Esaka (Nin)'s shot was saved by Kamifukumoto (Naoto), so I think we were able to get to those points on a few occasions.

If there's one thing we should be worried about in this Trial, it's that we didn't get the three points with the way things were going. We had two penalty kicks, and we had a few chances where we could have scored, but we didn't.

Opponent team comment

Cho Kwi Jae

(Head Coach)

"It was the first time in my career as a manager that I gave away two penalties in the first half, and Kami (Kamifukumoto Naoto) saved one of them, which turned the tide a little from there. I don't think we started the first half badly, but we gave away a penalty from a set piece. If it had been the opening game, or if we had been a team that hadn't Trial Trial the J1 League, I think we would have given up and Urawa would have played to our heart's content. However, in the second half, we changed our form a little and made some substitutions, and as we aimed to turn the game around, we were able to do some great things that were typical of us.

Last year, we were in J2, but we were promoted after a year of using the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. This year, we are still not used to it, and I think it is not a matter of whether the referee's decision was right or wrong, but rather that the players on both teams accept the referee's confident decision on the spot. However, when I watched the video, instead of the decision, there were many times when the referee's decision was wrong instead of right, and when I watched the video, the situation changed depending on whether it was an opponent's foul or our own foul, and the fact that the opponent started immediately after that decision and the play was on, I think it all depends on the rule book whether there is VAR or not, and whether it would have been better to have a discussion there or not, but I think it's a matter of what to say, and of course we lack experience and preparation for the quick restart there, and I'm angry at myself for not being able to convey that. If a player did the same thing in the same situation, I think it would be difficult to say that I was confident in admonishing the players as a manager. However, rather than whether the decision was right or wrong, I feel that I am not criticizing the referee's decision, but rather how I should take it myself. If someone says, "That's because of your lack of management as a manager," that's it, but Trial was one in which the situation changed with each play, and in that sense, I think the Reds supporters saw what kind of team Kyoto is, and I think the players did a very good job.

"We lost at home to Avispa Fukuoka on the weekend, so we need to use this as a lesson to move forward and keep going. It's been a while since I've been to this stadium, and I was reminded of how wonderful it is to be able to produce such energy here, even though we can't really cheer or cheer on the crowd. I think the players were happy too."
