Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic (Head Coach): "Although there was a point difference in the end, Trial showed why Machida won against Nagoya and Fukuoka. It was clear that they have skilled players and are a well-organized team, and it is true that we were in a difficult situation against Machida early on.

Especially early on, when we were trying to build up our attack, Machida's two strikers were chasing us, and it was difficult to build up the attack as we wanted. In that situation, we corrected our attacking strategy over time, and after that, I think we were able to play more like we usually do.

Early in the second half, we were not able to create a good situation and allowed the opponent to score, making the score 3-1. After that, the players were able to stay calm and build up our attacks well, and we were able to score more points. Regarding today's game, I think our team was able to create good offensive formations with the way we moved the ball, the off-field movement, and the rotation of the sides, and the players showed their strong determination to beat the strong Machida opponent until the end. I think it was a great Trial with many excellent offensive formations."

Opponent team comment

Naoki Soma (Head Coach): "Although it was a weekday night game, many people came all the way from Machida to support us, and I would like to express my gratitude to them first. Unfortunately, we were not able to show you our joy, but I believe that the players fought very well until the very end.

Frankly speaking, it feels good, but we were completely defeated. Today was our fourth Emperor's Cup Trial, and we have played two games against higher-ranked teams and won them. In that sense, we wanted to score first, and if anything, the score would remain 0-0 for a long time, which would make the higher-ranked team feel uncomfortable, anxious, and frustrated. However, I think that we were in a slightly better flow at the start of the first half, but the opponent's concentration increased, and while our players were thinking, "Today will be good, too," we were conceded from a set play. I think that the players were disheartened by the fact that they conceded first, and of course the Reds were able to play with more leeway and bring out their true potential.

In that sense, there are always things we could have done differently at certain times, but we conceded the third goal just before the end of the first half, and in the second half, it was 1-3, but if we had scored a shot that hit the post before we were trailing 1-4, I think we could have drawn out the other team's impatience a little more. However, I would like to thank the players for their determination to try and score until the very end. We are now at the climax of the league, so this is a good lesson for us, and we will work hard from here on out to bring back the lessons we learned from our challenges to the league. Frankly, I felt once again that they were strong.
