- "Right from the start, I think we played solidly. We kept the ball and moved it from side to side, and Ola (Solbakken) created some one-on-one situations. Ola moved to the left wing midway through the first half and created some good opportunities, and (Watanabe) Ryoma showed once again today that he is a goalscorer.
We were able to create chances while controlling the game. In particular, we created some big chances after the opponent had a player sent off. It's great that we've become able to control the game in away games just like we do in home games. Now we need to turn that into goals and continue to get the three points.
Looking at our most recent away games, we beat Albirex Niigata 4-2. Then we played Jubilo Iwata Iwata and were totally in control, but the result was 1-1. We also had a lot of good moments against Cerezo Osaka, but the home team scored two great goals.
The players are now firmly establishing a training culture in their daily training, so I would like to commend them. I have told the players to always maintain a high level of awareness and concentration even in practice. I asked them to keep that focus throughout the match, and I think they maintained that focus.
I think that Yota Sato played very well today, together with Marius (Huibraten). (Ito) Atsuki and (Ago) Kaito dominated the midfield. Ryoma was able to get behind the defense as an attacking midfielder or drop back to provide support. And Brian (Linssen)'s intelligence was also on display today. He can show up in many places and act as a link, and he can also assist. He's been suffering from injuries for a long time since coming to Japan, so I'm glad he's back.
We were unable to get the three points in our home games against Vissel Kobe and Kashima Antlers, but I think it was good that we were able to play without feeling too stressed about that. We want to be a team that can compete at the top of the table. To achieve that, we need stability. I think it's important to keep fighting without losing and winning."
Opponent team comment
Kenta Hasegawa
(Manager)
- "I've received so much enthusiastic support from my family, and I'm truly sorry that I wasn't able to respond to that support.
The players were aiming for Urawa's goal from the start of the game, and I think they entered the game with a good feeling. However, a small mistake, which often leads to a goal conceded in soccer, gave us the lead in a mistake-related way. Today, we took that into account and used Morishima (Tsukasa) as a defensive midfielder, and instead of chasing after a goal, we wanted to play a style of soccer where we would take the initiative ourselves in the second half. I didn't expect results right away just because Morishima was in the defensive midfielder, but I think we were able to create our own time after conceding the lead in the first half, and attack when we could, and develop the game. However, I think we still lack the power in the final part, so I would like to continue to explore that.
There is one more game left in June, but since the end of May we have had chances but have not been able to score, so today I spoke to the players about the importance of encouraging the attacking players. If they don't score, I don't think the team will gain momentum. It's difficult to say that if there are absolutely no chances, but today we may not have many chances, but I think there have been many games like that up until now, so it's especially important that the players up front do their best in these difficult times, and even if they don't get good passes, they need to use their individual strength to somehow break through and create opportunities. Today I started Baii (Ken), but I think he can do even more, and I would like to encourage the players up front who played today, including him, to work even harder.
