Trial-match comments

Mihailo Petrovic

(Head Coach)

"Looking at our results so far, I think playing the final match at home is a tough Trial for the team. It was the same two years ago, and last year in particular, it was a painful defeat for us. In the final match, we had a chance to win the league, and we were leading Nagoya until the 72nd minute. Looking at the result, Gamba drew 0-0 with Tokushima, it was Trial in which we could have won if we had continued on that path. In the end, we lost 1-2, which was a very frustrating and disappointing result. It was with that past in mind that we played today's Trial.

If we were to evaluate today's match against Kobe after Trial, I think the team's performance can be divided into three categories, rather than being divided into two halves at halftime.

We played extremely well in the first 30 minutes. I think the players entered Trial with strong motivation, and we were able to show our strengths during those 30 minutes. During that time, we were able to take a 3-0 lead, and I think we created other opportunities where we could have scored goals.

After that, we conceded a goal and the game progressed with us being a little unstable. Even in the second half, we were unable to show our strengths and as time went on, we conceded a goal in that way, making the score 3-2.

However, I think we were able to regain our style of football and fight in the remaining 30 minutes. Looking at it from that perspective, I think we were able to show our strengths for the entire 60 minutes of today's Trial. However, the 30 minutes in between were not a good match.

When we think about future battles, we will be in trouble if we are unable to fight in a well-organized manner in the middle of the game.

I think the atmosphere in the stadium today was really amazing. A lot of supporters supported our team until the end. In today's game, both teams scored a total of seven goals, but I think that other than the goals, we were able to see some good offensive Trial. I think it was a satisfying Trial for everyone who came to watch."

Opponent team comment

Nelsinho

(Head Coach)

"At the start of the first half, I thought our team was careless and got off to a very poor start. We weren't able to execute what we had been preparing for all week.

We were careful about the fact that after we stole the ball, we were repeatedly caught by the opponent's strong and quick switching, and I think that this was largely due to the players' poor judgment. We were blocked when we tried to connect in a narrow space, and we were caught, and we were scored on from a bad flow, and we conceded many unfortunate goals.

In the first half, we couldn't continue like that, so we had to change something, so we put Maeda in the defensive midfielder position and dropped (Jung) Woo-young to center back.

I spoke with the players at halftime, reconfirmed the organization, explained the plan, and they understood it well, and this time we started well, but just like in the first half, we let our guard down when the opponent countered, and we conceded a goal just when we were doing well, and we were left behind. This time, we had prepared for Urawa, knowing that they are a team that excels at counterattacks, but we made mistakes in passing, control, and judgment that allowed the opponent to counter. Also, when there were one or two opportunities to block or stop them, we let our guard down and let them slip away, and it was Trial that showed our bad side.
