Scholz: "Playing at Saitama Stadium is always an advantage"

On the 20th, after the open training, Alexander Scholz responded to the interview with the team and asked about the current situation of the team 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. Told.

(How do you feel about the games you can't win?)
“The match against Shimizu (S-Pulse) was a match with a lot of emotions mixed in. Our first goal was to win, but it was also important to advance to the next stage in the (YBC) Levain Cup. We are struggling but we made it through the group stage.You could say we were lucky, but I think it was a good result.It depends on what kind of picture we are drawing, but the final We were able to break through the group stage.”

(The defense is becoming more stable, but isn't there an issue on the offensive side?)
“Especially the first half was tough, but in the second half we were able to show off our energy and create chances. I think I understand what you all want to say."

(How do you feel about building up from behind?)
“I think being asked is not very good. I know it is not good. Part of it is that I play for results, I'm struggling a bit right now, there are ups and downs with a lot of games, maybe it's down time, but it's still the Levain Cup 's group stage.I want to protect the team and we are working hard.We are trying to do better as we face our problems."

(When Scholz goes up front, I think I have a chance, but do you really want to be more behind?)
“Actually, I want to appear anywhere. However, this season, I want to be firm about my attitude. If the timing is right, I will try to join the attack. However, the captain told me to come back.The results of other venues were also involved, so we decided to use the results.So, I became a little defensive at the end. rice field"

(Isn't there a lot of situations where the right side was defended by Scholz alone?)
“Akimoto (Takahiro) is a player who moves a lot and works well even in the opponent’s penalty area. It was an open game, but it was also a tight match. It's not Akimoto's fault that we're losing the ball."

(I think I said before that the logic is the same for offense and defense. I think the Reds defense is improving as an organization, but when it comes to attacking, it is difficult to balance with the organization of defense. isn't it?)
“When I feel that I have less energy behind me, I think I have to go back to my basic position. The first thing is to keep the ball tight and not lose it with an easy mistake. Every time I lose the ball. We give them chances and we use up extra energy.What we find is that we don't have very good circulation when we have possession of the ball.I'm a simple player. So, I would like to send the ball to the front line more and play in the opponent's half."

(There was also talk of ``I'm trying to do better'', but what do you want to be aware of in the week leading up to the Kawasaki match?)
"I don't think you need to change anything. There are 60 games in the year, so if you try to change it every time, it will drive you crazy. Little by little, every day you build up your confidence and you recover well. 80% of football is It's mental, so that's the most important thing."

(What position do you think the match against Kawasaki will be?)
“It’s a game to get three points. In our standings, three points is a very good result. Three weeks after the Kawasaki match, we have six games in a row, and we have five games in the J1 league. I think you should take 15."

(How is your enthusiasm for the Kawasaki match, which will be fought at Saitama Stadium for the first time in 20 days?)
“The Reds fans and supporters create a great atmosphere even away from home, so I think we can play comfortably in any stadium. Playing at Saitama Stadium is always an advantage. There is always a great atmosphere. And I hope it will be the same for the Kawasaki match, and I hope we can get three points (in Japanese).”
