Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic

(Head Coach)

"The match between the Reds and Gamba, two of Japan's leading teams, is always an intriguing big game that draws public attention.

We didn't start the game in a good way. I think that was the reason why we didn't start Trial the way we had prepared. We weren't doing very well and we conceded a very unfortunate goal. If you ask the opposing player, Abe (Hiroyuki), I think he'll comment that it was lucky that the ball went in. I think it was an unlucky goal for us and a very lucky goal for the opposing team.

We started Trial poorly, and conceding the first goal made Trial even more difficult for us. However, as Trial progressed, we gradually started to play our own game. I think we created several chances from the flanks and the center.

In the second half, we continued to push the opponent and take the initiative in attacking. However, we conceded a goal from a set piece, which was unfortunate and hard to explain. Other than that, we didn't give the opponent many chances.

With the score at 0-2, and the opponents retreating to their own half to defend, the players were very determined, pushing the opponents with their energy and creating many chances to score. The players' strong determination was also evident in the second half.

Gamba's chances in the flow of the game were only one that hit the goal post. You can see the goal. On the other hand, we created a lot of chances in the flow of the game.

I don't really like to talk about referees in press conferences, and I don't want to say it because it sounds like an excuse to make such a comment after we've lost, but in a scene where we were on the counter and Koroki was called for a handball, the assistant referee called it a handball, but the referee called it a handball. I think that was the right call for Gamba.

On the other hand, during one of our attacking chances, the ball appeared to have hit the hand of an opposing player in the penalty area. It was clearly visible from our side, so I think the assistant referee must have seen it too, but he did not call for a handball.

I think it's up to everyone to decide what that scene was, but as we fight for results, I think we need to comment on the fact that such things can affect Trial."

Opponent team comment

Kenta Hasegawa

(Head Coach)

“We were able to beat Urawa Reds today thanks to the players who fought until the end, and thanks to the many fans and supporters who came out. It was nice to be able to present

We scored in good timing, but after that the line fell slightly. Even so, it was the first half that we were aiming for counterattacks. We wanted to play more aggressively, so we brought in Nagasawa early in the second half. He created a starting point behind the defensive line, played aggressively in defense, and gave us the momentum to move forward in the stalemate. Endo's momentary unexpectedness, or perhaps an inspiration, was a big factor for the team as he was able to score an additional goal from a free kick.

We were forced into the closing stages, but I think we had a chance to score the third goal. However, while it was difficult to score a point, Higashiguchi made a series of super saves, even though there were some dangerous moments. The players kept their determination to get revenge at home against the Reds until the end. With this, I think we will be in good shape for the Guangzhou Hengda War on Wednesday. There are some players who didn't play today, so I'll do my best to build a team and win at home to advance to the final."
