Trial-match comments

Oswaldo Oliveira

(Head Coach)

(Today, it seemed like the opponents were winning every second ball situation, but was this due to fatigue or something else?)
"I think that was the key to today's Trial. I pointed that out to the players at halftime. We were unable to pick up the second ball, which allowed the opponent to dominate Trial at key times. Recently, we've had many games where we've been able to pick up the second ball and maintain control for long periods of time, but that didn't happen today."

(What was the intention behind using Moriwaki, who has just returned from injury, as a defensive midfielder?)
"Abe got a slight injury in the practice Trial on Wednesday. We had originally planned to leave the play-making to Abe since Kashiwagi was not there, but that injury meant that we were missing a necessary player in the midfield for Trial.

With no midfield options, I talked to Moriwaki and asked him to go in there. Since he came in, I think we've gotten a little better, so I think he's done a good job."

(In terms of the amount of exercise, it seems like you did too much practice before Trial?)
"I don't think that's the case. We were forced to make some changes on our side today, and the opponent's midfield played well, so we should praise them for that. I think the opponent's midfield was better than Urawa Reds today. We weren't able to react to that.

As for practice itself, we have been preparing by reducing the load since Wednesday, so I don't think the load of practice had an impact. And if we want to improve the team's condition, I think we have to practice what is absolutely necessary. At the same time, I think we have to wait for the effects of the passage of time while practicing."

(You go into the second leg at home trailing 0-2 and needing to score, what is your game plan?)
"Before Trial, I told the players, 'This Trial will be decided by the second home game, which is a 180-minute game.'"

(Regarding the inability to win second balls, did you feel that today's players lacked physical strength or tactical strength?)
"It's not that we were lacking something, but in the circumstances of today's game, our opponents were Trial to us. Of course, we have to change that in the second game."

(This year's Levain Cup includes J2 teams. Is losing to a J2 team a big shock for your team?)
"Kofu is a team I've known for a long time. They've been relegated to J2 and promoted to J1, and they have players with experience competing in J1. They have experienced players and good Brazilian players, and they won their last Trial 6-2. I don't think there's any need to make a fuss about today's loss to such a strong Trial. I think it's just that the situation today led to this result."

Opponent team comment

Nobuhiro Ueno

(Head Coach)

``First of all, I don't know how many of the 10,337 people were Reds supporters, but we were able to win because of the support of Yamanashi and Kofu supporters. I think they did a really good job. We were able to create a lot of chances. There were some dangerous moments, but in the end we put our bodies on the line and were able to defend well. This is called defensive prevention. I think the players have been working really hard since the beginning, and I think they did a really good job.I think that's why we were able to win.Thank you very much.''
