Trial-match comments
Mihailo Petrovic
(Head Coach)
- "You probably can't imagine this, but it's difficult to comment on Trial after such a stressful one.
I think it was a very spectacular and good game with seven goals in one Trial. I think it was a very satisfying game for the people who came to watch, and I think that the supporters who were rooting for the winning team were a little more satisfied than the losing team. Overall, there's no doubt that it was a great Trial for both teams.
From what I saw, our team was playing with a lot of energy until the 75th minute. The opponent changed their system several times during the game, but we responded well to that and played great attacks, and I think we were able to control Trial.
After conceding the second goal, the players may have become a little scared and stopped passing the ball. The first reason is that we lost momentum, but after conceding the second goal, the players became scared and started to play by kicking long balls instead of passing the ball. That's how the game unfolded, and the opponents continued to kick long balls, which is their forte, and we were pushed back from there.
In Japan, when we are leading 4-1, our players go on the offensive and become less keen to score. I have been thinking a lot about why this happens, and I am working on it. Even in such a situation, the Germans aim for the fifth or sixth goal, or even 10 if they can, and they have that kind of mentality of beating their opponents to the end. I want my players to have that mentality too.
In a boxing match, if a boxer hits his opponent and it seems like his punches have had an effect, he will definitely try to follow up and beat his opponent. I think it's the same in soccer. After being down 4-1, I think it's important to have the attitude of trying to beat your opponent to the end.
The opponent we played today is a very great and strong team FC Tokyo. We should be satisfied that we were able to get three points from them. However, we must take this game as a lesson for the next game. Our next opponent is Kawasaki, the most offensive team in the J-League. We must reflect on this Trial and use it to decide how we will fight against Kawasaki.
My request is that after this, please don't ask me, 'Why did the Reds concede three goals and why did FC Tokyo concede four?' I think it's rare for a game to have seven goals.
It was a great game in which both teams gave it their all. I think the people watching simply enjoyed it. As I commented at the press conference yesterday, even if we have the most points this year, we are not the champions. That is why I told the players, "Let's stop playing with more force and pressure than necessary." We have already decided to participate in the championship. That is why we should play our own style of football. Today's game was a success."
Opponent team comment
Massimo Ficcadenti
(Head Coach)
- "We started poorly and the end could have been even worse. Our mistakes made things worse in the early stages. I don't think there's much to say, but our mistakes created favorable conditions for the opponents, and Trial became more open from there.
In Europe, we are not used to such seesaw games, but I think these Trial are fun, so I think the players should hold their heads up high. They scored a goal from a great combination, and even though it was 1-4, they didn't give up and kept scoring. In the end, they were only one point behind, but Urawa is a great team. They are a team that is fighting for the league championship along with Hiroshima, so there is no doubt that they are a strong team.
We lost to Kawasaki and Kashima, so it's still unclear. We want to win the remaining two Trial somehow. We made some mistakes that disrupted the flow and balance of Trial, but if we make mistakes against opponents like this, Trial will become difficult.
In the early stages, we were unable to maintain the correct distance in the defensive midfielder position and were unable to respond well. At the end, we dropped Takahashi and switched to an offensive formation of 4-4-2, but because we were in good physical condition, we pushed forward at the end and changed to a four-man front line.
We needed to read the flow of Trial and respond accordingly. Trial may have been over when it was 1-4, but I think the players did not give up until the end. As for the Nakajima episode, I will not talk about it in the Japanese way. In soccer, some episodes can decide Trial, but I am satisfied with the team's performance, so I will not touch on it. I am really satisfied with the last 30 minutes of the second half.
