Okubo "The players in front of us should score and win"

After the open training on the 20th, Tomoaki Okubo responded to the interview with the surroundings, and the enthusiasm for the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 18 match against Kawasaki Frontale [MATCH PARTNER Mitsubishi Heavy Industries], which will be held at Saitama Stadium on June 24th, and the match against Kawasaki. I told you what I want to cherish during the period.

(The players who started in the match against Shimizu S-Pulse on the 18th focused on recovery, but what about Okubo's own condition?)
“I am a little tired, but the season is progressing well, so I think it will be difficult to stay fresh from here.

(What kind of preparations do you want to make in the week leading up to the Kawasaki match?)
“I think I have to challenge myself more from training.I want to play more boldly.As a team, I think we should communicate more. I think it's important to see if the subject is suitable for you.For me, too, there are times when I want you to carry the ball more, but there are times when the back is behind and I can't pass. I think we all have to point our arrows at ourselves and think together about what we should do.If we do that, we will be able to fight as a team again.I think it's important to be in the details right now. "

(Looking at the recent results, goals are sought after, and I think Okubo himself wants them, but it's not easy to improve the quality in front of each individual goal, so what do you want to improve as a team? ?)
“I think it’s important to have a form as a team. During last week’s training session, there was talk of getting more in front of the goal, and in the match against Shimizu, two or three people were in front of the goal when sending a cross. It's good, but on the other hand, I think that I received a counterattack.I think it's okay to create a form as a team.I think it would be good if we could create a goal pattern while communicating around that. I think it would be nice to have more requests, such as if you hold it like this, look at this."

(What position do you think the Kawasaki match will be?)
“In the (Emperor’s Cup) match against Kansai University, we were unable to settle the match against university students in 90 minutes, and we ended up with a draw with Yokohama FC and a draw with Shimizu in the J2 League. I think that the match against Kawasaki is a great opportunity in a situation where such games are continuing.(Maciej Skorza)The manager also said that it was a 'difficult period', but the excuse that it is a series of games and after winning the championship is no more. No. If the players in front of us score a goal in the match against Kawasaki and we can win firmly, I think we can ride the wave as a team.”

(Since the Reds have played fewer games, there is a gap in the number of games with other teams, but how do you feel that the Kawasaki match will be the last game in the first half of the J1 league?)
“I think the match against Kawasaki at home will be the perfect situation.

(If we can fight like that, wouldn't Saitama Stadium have a good atmosphere?)
“If I show my own gimmicks, take on challenges, and try to win, I think the fans and supporters will be even more excited, and I think the atmosphere at Saitama Stadium will be greatly improved. So, I think it's important for us to face the game with a good attitude."
