On the 26th, after the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 20 match Nagoya Grampus, Ryoma Watanabe spoke about his Pts and his thoughts on Trial.

(You started as an attacking midfielder. What were you conscious of?)
"The opponent's line was really high, so I went in thinking it would be better to receive the ball behind the third player rather than at my feet. I also thought about dropping back a little to receive the ball in order to create rhythm."

(What about the goal scene?)
"That sort of thing is surprisingly difficult, so I'm glad I scored. I was positioning myself knowing I could break through, so I think that was a good thing."

(It was the first time in five Trial that you scored the opening goal. How easy was it to score first?)
"I think it was easy for us to play Trial, but we should have scored two or three points. I think it's great to be able to hold the ball like that towards the end of the second half, so we played without taking too many risks, but I hope we can Trial in a way that allows us to score two or three points."

(There were some difficult situations, such as a substitute player being replaced due to injury, but what did you do to earn the three points in this Trial?)
"It's better if there are no injuries, but we have a lot of good players, so I think the Reds' strength and amazingness is that they can adjust quickly like that. If we had fewer injured players, we would be a better force, but I don't want to think about that and I want to just do what I can."
