Trial-match comments

Maciej Skorza (Head Coach): "We conceded a goal early on and didn't get off to a good start. The reason we didn't start Trial well may have been because I gave poor instructions after the warm-up. The pitch conditions weren't very good, so I told them to start by using long balls. Normally, we would connect from Zone 1 and keep the ball, but that didn't happen today.

After that, we were able to change sides and use the space behind us, like when (Matheus) Savio passed the ball to Thiago (Santana). Also, (Haraguchi) Genki's excellent cross led to a header for Thiago. We were able to control the game better and made some dangerous plays in Zone 3, but we couldn't convert them into goals.

In the second half, we brought on Samuel (Gustavsson) and Takuro (Kaneko) to speed up our build-up. Takuro also moved into a wide position, allowing us to use the width of the right flank. However, Yamagata also played determined defense when they were pushed into Zone 1, making it very difficult for us to score. Then, in the second half, Yamagata brought on Ryoma (Kita), who we considered to be our most dangerous player. While he may not have been particularly dangerous, he did create some dangerous opportunities on counterattacks.

And today, I think it was good that we made the decision to shoot with determination. Both of the shots (that resulted in goals) were from long distance. Takuro and (Komori) Hiyane made some very good decisions. Incidentally, today was Hiiro Komori 's birthday, so it was a goal that came at a very good time for him.

First of all, I think it was great that we didn't have to go into extra time today, and I'm also pleased that our players showed such a good attitude that they were able to turn the game around after conceding a goal, especially in an away Trial.

The voices of our fans and supporters who continued to cheer us on warmly in the heavy rain and nervous atmosphere made us feel as if we were playing at home today. It was a huge boost for us. We are very grateful. Thank you very much."

Opponent team comment

Akinobu Yokouchi (Head Coach): "First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the supporters who came out in this heavy rain. I wanted to give them a victory, but I am truly disappointed that I was unable to do so.

I think it was difficult for the players to play in these conditions, but they managed to move the ball well and use long balls to avoid the opponent's aim, and I think they played well in the first half. Trial took the lead, and there were periods when our defense was pushed back, but the players were tenacious and put their bodies on the line to protect our goal.

In the second half, we relaxed a little in the distance of our pressing that we had been able to do in the first half, and although I don't think that was the only reason, I feel that this was an opportunity for our opponents to show their high level of individual ability.

The players really gave it their all from the start. They fought until the very end without leaving a single drop of energy, and I'm really grateful to them. However, I don't want to be told, 'It was a shame,' and I believe we can do better, so I want to look back at what we didn't do today and use that to our advantage in the league games."
