URAWA RED DIAMONDS

We will play and run aggressively to fight as one-Coach Takafumi Hori  

Comment from Coach Takafumi Hori the day before the Emperor’s Cup 4th round match against Yokohama F-Marinos

Although Team Manager Mischa is currently in Europe to receive treatment on his back, we will work hard as one to win as many games as possible including the one tomorrow as we know our victory will be the best medicine for him.
In regards to Yokohama F-Marinos, last J League season they were struggling at the start for some time. But, I thought they finished the season as one of the teams in great form with good momentum. Tomorrow’s match will be another very difficult match. But, we will fight well against them with the good momentum which led us to win a ticket for the Asian Champions League.

However, having said this, we will be able to play well against them if we can put what we have leant this year into the match tomorrow such as playing and running aggressively as one. At the risk of repeating myself, we will fight hard as one for the sake of Team Manager Mischa.
