Trial-match comments

Zeljko Petrovich

(Head Coach)

"Overall, I think it was a fantastic Trial. In the first half, Gamba Osaka had more possession of the ball and had a higher ball possession rate, but in terms of the number of chances, I think we had four or five more big ones. Gamba only had one or two chances in the first half.
Then, in the second half, we were down 0-1, but we somehow managed to catch up to 1-1, and after that we played such a great Trial that watching from the outside, I felt like Trial was playing. However, we were Urawa Reds.
Our players are in very good condition, and in consultation with the medical staff, we have been working to improve the players' condition, which is why we were able to maintain the momentum we had in the second half. We created around 12 or 13 big chances in the second half, which can be seen as a positive, but it is disappointing that we were unable to convert them.
In the second half, Kato made a solid save when Gamba had a chance to make it 0-2, and held on at 0-1, which I think led to the team making it 1-1. I have been telling the players that they must give it their all and give it their all to play for Urawa Reds, and I would like to praise them for this, as we saw that in Trial like today. I think we were able to see the true spirit of the samurai in the way we fought in today's Trial. I am especially proud of the young players like Shunki and Genki, who gave their all and worked for the team, and Tatsuya and Márcio, who fought for the team until they were on the verge of collapsing.
However, as you may have noticed from watching Trial, I cannot answer the question of why we didn't win."

Opponent team comment

Akira Nishino

(Head Coach)

"Over the last few Trial, we felt like we were the heaviest overall, and that our tempo was not very good in terms of our body and ball movement. We were under a lot of pressure from the Reds, but we need to keep possession of the ball a little longer, otherwise our style will be difficult, and when we are in a defensive situation, it will inevitably become like the last 20 minutes or so. In that situation, we had a hard time finding the opportunity to switch gears and get back to our own pace.
We scored first, and had chances afterwards, but we couldn't add to our lead and we wasted our chances, so we predicted that this would be a tough game, and just as we were thinking of putting more weight behind Takagi and putting more weight behind us, we were tied, so we hesitated for a moment, but as it seemed like it would be difficult to take control of the game today, we went with a 5-back formation and allowed them to counter, but in the end, with the Reds on the offensive, the players who switched were very aggressive and I think we did well to hold on. In the end, it was a game where we felt like we managed to get a point."
