Manager Maciej Skorza 's press conference after the game against Shonan
J League YBC Levain Cup Group Stage Match 1 Shonan Bellmare Comments after the match
“Today was a game in which both managers replaced their players. I think it can be said that the performance of the Reds players was quite good. They were mentally disciplined, and tactically they were well disciplined. I think they did a good job of defending, especially in the penalty area. Shonan use a very interesting system, especially the strikers and midfield players, who are difficult to stop. However, the Reds players did a good job of defending. They executed their tactics, so in that sense I can say they did a good job.
I think we had two or three very good chances in the second half. There was a scene with (David) Moberg, (Ito) Atsuki, and (Takahiro) Sekine. However, we are not yet in a position where we can say that the Reds' strong point is finishing.
There was a situation with Kai Shibato and Toshiki Takahashi that required medical attention. I would like to hear the medical report tomorrow and understand what the actual situation is."

(I think the defense was really good, but how do you evaluate the attack?)
“Honestly, I think we are still struggling in attack. I can't say that the attacking third is the ideal space for us to play. That's where we're focusing our efforts in practice. I think we were able to create some good moments in the previous match against Cerezo Osaka, considering what we originally wanted to do, I think we still have a long way to go.”
(Looking at the way they use Yoshio Koizumi and Shinzo Koroki, it seems like they are prioritizing the league.)
``There was a lot of contact on the pitch, so I was a little afraid of getting injured so I substituted him.''
