2025 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Section 37 Fagiano Okayama comment after the game Trial

In the first 20-25 minutes of the game, Okayama pressed hard and high, and we tried to connect short passes in zone 1 but didn't move to exploit the space, so I think they created more dangerous situations. After that we were able to keep the ball more and play in zone 2 and zone 3 in their territory. I wished we could have been a little less hasty, and had the ball while making side changes, but we started to do that in the middle of the half.

In the second half, our goal was to push harder, making side changes and exploiting the space behind us. That is how we scored the goal. I think it was very good that the shape we have been practicing since last week came out.

The other team also made some decisive chances, but today, Shusaku (Nishikawa) made a solid stop, and I think the whole team, including the mental part, worked hard until the end. This led to our first win in two months.

Also, I think the performance of Renji (Hidano), a promising player, was very good. I think he will be a very important player for Reds in the future.

[Q&A].
(Renji Hidano Why did you select a player as a starter, and Kenta Nemoto why did you change some members of the team as well, such as players?)
Thanks to SD Horinouchi (Sei), Renji has been participating in practice for the past two weeks. He plays as a striker in college, but since he was in camp this year, I wanted to see him on the wing. For the past two weeks he has been training mainly as a winger. Of course, he is a player who can play both as a striker and up top.

He is also good at getting in behind, something I have not seen much of in team play lately, from watching him perform in practice. He is fast and decisive in the penalty area, which is the reason why he was chosen for today's starting lineup.

I would like to use Kenta (Nemoto) again in the next game against Kawasaki Frontale. I want him to gain experience playing against Kawasaki for next season.

(This is the first time this season that the team has won away from home by plane or Shinkansen train.)
(This is the first time this season that the team has won away from home, using airplanes and Shinkansen bullet trains. Shimizu S-Pulse We had a very good performance in the away games against and Tokyo Verdy, but we could not score a goal.

3 Trial, and we had to wait two months for this victory. These three points are very important. I would like to dedicate this victory to our fans and supporters who come to Trial every time, even from far away.

(What about the fact that the fans/supporters cheered for you Trial at the end of the game, even though you didn't have many Trial to cheer for?)
The goal was scored in that situation. That's all I can say.
