Trial-match comments

Oswaldo Oliveira

(Head Coach)

"We have seen this behavior repeatedly since the four Trial before, and it was present today as well. However, it was more clearly seen in this match. Only one team continued to attack. The Trial was one team trying to score, while the other tried to avoid conceding any. We only had one goal kick. We also only had one defensive corner kick. Our goalkeeper today was not expected to do anything as a goalkeeper, and was more like Trial spectator.

Another thing I noticed when I came back to Japan is that the referee doesn't blow the whistle very often. When that happens, it's an advantageous Trial for the team that wants to defend. We want to play soccer, not rugby. So, I think it's a difficult situation for us to play in. For a team that has the ball and is trying to play, or wants to win, if a foul occurs and the play stops, but it doesn't result in a free kick, it's a big disadvantage.

In the match against Kashima, we lost due to a penalty kick that was a bit controversial. And today, Hashioka's arm was grabbed in the penalty area, and even though it was a clear case of holding, the whistle was not blown. After that, Kashiwagi's arm was grabbed in the same way, but there was no whistle either."

Opponent team comment

Massimo Ficcadenti

(Head Coach)

"I think it was a very tactical match, with players who were very tenacious and Trial side by side. However, it only looked that way in the end. As for how we prepared for this Trial- I can only speak for my own team - we knew that we had to use some players who were not in good enough condition to play the full game, so we made Trial plan to some extent, including substitutions, and knew that we had to play Trial like this. We had to make good use of players who were not in good enough condition to play for the full 90 minutes, such as Ikeda and Victor Ibarbo, so we started the first half with Ikeda and Yasu Yosuke as the two strikers.

The team's aim was to hold back in the first half, and then bring on Tagawa and Victor Ibarbo at the crucial moment. Even with Ibarbo in, I think he was only at 20% condition. In the first half, we tried to hold back as much as possible, and in the second half, the players held back because it was the real battle. When the time came, we didn't let Urawa do anything, so we didn't let up and go on the offensive, and the players fought smartly until the end. Space was created, and we had Tagawa and Ibarbo, who could run that far and attack from behind, as we had planned, so I think we could have done a little more offensively, but I think we fought smartly for the entire 90 minutes.
