Trial-match comments
Mihailo Petrovic
(Head Coach)
- "I have commented that even if we win a game, it was not good if the content was not good, and I have also said that even if we lose, it is okay as long as the content was good. I make comments from a Japanese perspective, but today it is all about the result. In the Hiroshima match, we played a top game with very good content, but we were caught out by the counter attack that the opponents were aiming for, and we were unable to produce results. In the Nagoya match, we also played with one man down, and it would not have been surprising if we had outplayed the opponent and won, but we again conceded a goal from a counter attack. Today our goal was to win, and the players executed that goal well.
Other teams are evaluated when they win, but Urawa can be criticized depending on the content even if they win. I sometimes wonder why there is a difference between them and other teams.
Today was Trial that we deserved to win. Koroki and Zlatan had chances where they could have scored, but Shonan didn't have any. In that sense, I think we had more chances to score than our opponents. I want to praise the players for their hard work.
The second stage began with Trial where we had no results. We had a two-week break due to the national team schedule, but four players were called up to the national team, and Kashiwagi had an adductor injury, so it was a tough two consecutive games for the team. However, I think it was good that we managed to overcome that. We have one week until our next match against Sendai, and finally all the players can get ready together. I think it was a series of games that the team can take positively, and I think we were able to create a good momentum for our next match against Sendai."
Opponent team comment
Cho Kwi Jae
(Head Coach)
- "I heard before Trial that more than 2,500 fans and supporters had come, even though it was a Sunday night. Unfortunately we lost, but I feel bad that we couldn't win despite all the cheers that encouraged the players.
I feel that the players tried to give as close to 100% of their current abilities as possible. I have never played at Saitama Stadium, but I was also treated well by Urawa during my active career. I had heard that we had never won Trial against Urawa for a long time, and although we were unable to change that negative history today, I felt that we still have a long way to go before we can reach the high level of technique and tactical skill of Urawa.
On the other hand, I think we were able to make the Urawa players panic until the end of Trial by using what we had learned up until now. I'm not satisfied with the result, but we faced a strong opponent, and there were many thrilling scenes, such as the team that won the ball seizing the chances and the team that lost quickly returning to the goal, so as a coach and a third party, I think it was an interesting Trial.
I still remember when we played against Urawa here two years ago and the moment Trial became 0-1, the players' faces showed signs of "We're done." It wasn't just a case of trying to hang in there for the sake of appearances, but the players knew that they had to back down. In the end, the score was 0-2, but Trial would not have been strange if they had conceded five or six goals. It's difficult to express it in numbers, but I vividly remember going home feeling a huge difference.
About two years have passed since then, and we played the opening game against the Reds. I'm not sure how much the gap has narrowed, since I'm the one involved, but I think the number of times the players went into the defense to steal the ball or received the ball in their defense has definitely increased since then. In the end, we ended up with zero points, but I want to remember this Trial as well, as long as I'm the manager.
There are 10 Trial left in the league, and as we compete against the strong teams, I think we are not just digging our own hole, but we are beginning to show signs of being able to play in a way that will impress everyone. I want to continue to give the players confidence."
