Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic

(Head Coach)

"We played very poorly in the first half. I have been leading Urawa Reds for three and a half years, but I had the impression that it was not my team. We matched the way the opponents played by kicking long balls, and the opponents also kicked long balls. It was like watching a volleyball Trial. If we are going to play like that, I don't think the difference in numbers will make a difference, even if the opponent is two players down. I was really angry at the way the players played in the first half.
In the second half, each player was well positioned, moving the ball quickly and attacking well from the center to the outside, making use of our numerical superiority. That's how we should play. Tosu was one man short, so they played a style of football that focused on our passes, which made it difficult for us to defend against them. We always train that kind of football, so we have to show what we've been doing on a daily basis on the pitch.

As I mentioned in the post-match press conference in the previous Trial, Urawa's strength is fighting collectively as a team. If each player started doing whatever they wanted, we wouldn't be as strong.
It is important that each player plays the role given to them in their position, and if the players start doing whatever they want, they will not be a strong team. They will probably become a team like in 2011. It is necessary to fight with that in mind at all times. We have come this far without losing 13 Trial, but today's game is a good lesson. If we can keep that in mind, we will be able to continue winning, and if we cannot, we will fall down quickly. I think today's game was a task given to us at the right time.
Although we won 6-1, it was not Trial to be completely happy about and I am extremely upset about our poor performance in the first half.
Last season, we played against Tosu at Urawa's home ground and lost 0-1, but I said that even though we lost, the content was very good. Today we won, but I don't think it was a good fight. In Trial we lost 0-1, there were many chances to score, and Tosu scored one Trial. Personally, I think it's important to not be satisfied with winning when watching soccer."

Opponent team comment

Hitoshi Morishita

(Head Coach)

“I am very grateful to have so many supporters come out today despite the bad weather. Regarding the game, I wanted to let the 11 of us fight until the end. I think it's my responsibility, and I think the players fought really well until the end."
