Trial-match comments

Maciej Skorza

(Head Coach)

"I think we played well in the first half, but conceding a goal was a big shock to us. In particular, I think we had good control of the game from the first 20 to 25 minutes. It looked like if we had just picked up a bit more speed in the final third, it would have been just a matter of time before we scored. However, we weren't able to score, and Lukian took advantage of the opportunity to score a wonderful goal.

At halftime, I showed the players a video and told them, "Let's change sides in the final third and supply the ball into the penalty area." I also told them, "We need to speed up overall."

In the second half, we had some great build-up, great play, and the defensive midfielder got into the penalty area, and Samuel (Gustavsson) did a great job.

Today, Yokohama FC 's defense was good, and although we dominated the game, we were not able to create many chances. However, Yokohama FC is the second lowest in the league in terms of expected goals conceded, so we knew before Trial started that it would be difficult to create chances against Yokohama FC.

Samuel's second goal came off a corner kick. The hard work of our set-piece coach, Masato Maesako, paid off. After that, it was a difficult Trial, but we tried to control the game.

Overall, I think we performed very well at the start of the first half. We have to aim for that kind of start in every Trial. The team spirit was great, fighting despite the difficult situation and scoring a goal with seven minutes left until the 90th minute. I want to praise the players and pay tribute to their hard work.

And in today's Trial, the fans and supporters created a wonderful atmosphere. In the unique atmosphere of Saitama Stadium, the players were able to push themselves beyond their limits and work hard like they did today. It's a shame that we can't play the Club World Cup at Saitama Stadium."

Opponent team comment

Shuhei Yomoda

(Head Coach)

"A lot of Yokohama FC supporters came out to the game and I really wanted to win so that we could all celebrate together, but it's disappointing and I'm sorry that we ended up losing.

As for Trial, Urawa's pressure after the kickoff was so strong from the first half that we were pushed back more than we expected. However, we managed to hold on and gradually got used to it, and after about 30 minutes, we were able to push back and create some chances, so it was a very good development to be able to score the opening goal.

In the second half, we talked about not dropping back too much and going for additional points if we had the chance, but unfortunately we conceded a goal. However, I think it was great that we were able to recover without dropping back down after that, and if we could have somehow scored the second goal first, or at least gotten a Trial, but we conceded a goal from a set play, which shows that we still had a lot to learn. We still need to grow as a team so that we can win games like this.

In the second half of the season, I hope we can improve as a team so that we can turn our zero points into one, and our one point into three."
