Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic

(Head Coach)

"For those who weren't there, it was a very close game, with the Reds winning by scoring in the 88th Trial. However, the battle on the pitch was a much better game than the score would suggest.

From the start of the game, the Reds went forechecking from the front, almost man-to-man on the pitch, and aggressively went to steal the ball. Against Kashiwa, who have highly skilled and fast players up front, aggressively going for the ball from the front is risky. However, we were courageous and went for the ball from the front. And after we stole the ball, I think we showed some great combination play.

In today's game, the players' off-the-ball movement was very impressive. In attacking football, how you move without the ball is important. The coordinated movements the players showed today without the ball would be difficult to appreciate unless you have the knowledge to watch football properly. Sekine's off-the-ball movement was excellent, and he received the ball in good form many times. However, he was not very accurate with his final passes and crosses today. I'm going to work on that in training next week.

After the heavy defeats against Yokohama F. Marinos and the first match against Niigata in the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, the team was probably thought to be in a critical situation. I think many people thought that Urawa Reds would collapse. However, the team learned from the defeat and won the second match against Niigata with a magnificent 3-0 victory. I believe that it was because of that disappointing defeat that we were able to play the game against Niigata recently and today. It is difficult Trial after consecutive losses, but the players looked at what went wrong, corrected it, and carried it into today's Trial. I think it was a great game that the team can learn from.

It is very disappointing that we lost in the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, and I personally feel responsible for it. However, I think that the supporters' praise and encouragement for the team after our defeat was confirmed gave the players strength today. I think half of today's victory was due to the supporters' encouragement, and the other half was due to the players' efforts. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the supporters who supported us."

Opponent team comment

Tatsuma Yoshida

(Head Coach)

“In the first half, we couldn't play soccer at all.We got carried away by the momentum and some, but not all, of us lost sight of what we were supposed to do.The impatience and pressure was contagious from several places, and when that happens, In soccer, you can't recover unless you score a point in 45 minutes.

However, in soccer, if you get through the first half without conceding a goal, you will have a chance to score in the second half. At halftime, I sent the players off by telling them, ``Play, don't run away.'' We'll do what we've done. Why did we come here and do things differently? That's all I told the players.

It's the second half, but it's quite difficult to regain the feeling that didn't go well in the first half. On the last pass, control was uncertain. However, while the Reds had been flying since the first half, the players in the second half showed signs of recovery, and rather than running around, they played smartly and seemed to be trying to settle down in the midfield. However, I felt that due to their rush in the first half, they lacked the delicate feel they had in the second half.

We conceded a goal in the final minutes, but it often happens that the ball bounces in front of Sugano, who had been making good saves up until that point. I just confirmed to the players that we will take another look at our football. And we talked about going to China not in a dead state, but in a spirited state. More than losing 0-1, I'm more disappointed with the way we played in the first half. I will continue to work hard to change that.”
