Trial-match comments

Zeljko Petrovich

(Head Coach)

"We had been on a good form over the past few Trial, so it's disappointing that we ruined Trial at Trial with such a poor performance, especially in the first half. It was clear that we played a style of football that was not worthy of Urawa Reds in the first half, and so in the second half we made Trial completely open.
Kobe had their chances, but we also had our chances. We were able to catch up to 2-2 in the second half in good form.

However, we ended up losing Trial 3-2 at the very end, but I will refrain from commenting on that. However, I think it was a very sad event. Looking at the overall flow of the game, with the first half like that, I don't think we should have won today's Trial.

Opponent team comment

Masahiro Wada

(Head Coach)

"It was a very tough and difficult Trial, but I'm really happy that we were able to win in the end, and I want to praise the players for their hard work and determination.

In the first half, we wanted to start off strong and it was an ideal first half; we took the lead and quickly added another. After that, our first defender let his guard down a little in defence, which we always do, and we were pushed back, but we managed to go into halftime with a 2-0 lead.

At halftime, just like in the previous match against Kofu, we were not in a safe lead of 2-0 and were thinking we should go in with the score at 0-0 for one more innings, but we conceded goals too early and I think that's when we lost our composure. Urawa was in good form, and I could really understand that from seeing their offensive formation in the second half. We managed to hold on at 2-1, but around the 30th minute they were tied, and if it had been the usual Vissel, they might have gradually fallen back and been on the defensive, allowing them to take on the onslaught one-sidedly. I think that was probably the case with Kobe up until last year, but their counterattacks were very effective from the first half, and there is always space behind their defensive line, so our players aimed for that space and really did have a few chances on the counter. In the second half, even with the score at 2-1, we had some decisive counterattacks, but we couldn't score, which allowed us to tie the game. However, in the end, we didn't want to end it in a draw, and today we were playing away from home, but we came into Trial with the determination to win, so in that sense we didn't lose our determination to score until the end, and I think that's why we were given that penalty kick.

I think Okubo was very nervous in that situation and atmosphere in the extra time, but I am very grateful that he calmly scored the goal. It was a tough Trial, but I think that getting three points away will be a chance for the team to rise up in the future, and in the next match, we will return home and face the league leader Marinos, so I would like to make sure that we adjust well, recover, and prepare well for the next match. Today is also in Urawa, and although it will not be like last year's final match, I would like to thank the many supporters who came from Kobe.
