Manager Maciej Skorza press conference after the match against Yokohama F. Marinos
J League YBC Levain Cup Prime Stage Semi-final Round 1 match Yokohama F･Marinos Post-match comments
“I think the result of today's match did not reflect the content.I think we started very well and created some chances.If the ball had gone from Jumpei Hayakawa to Jose Kante, it would have been better. I think we were able to control the game overall, and I don't think Yokohama F･Marinos had any obvious chances to score.The flow went exactly as we wanted.
After the start of the second half, the players seemed to be a little tired, giving space to the opponents, which resulted in more opportunities for F. Marinos to send in crosses. This led to an unlucky hand by Ogiwara (Takuya), resulting in a penalty kick. Although we only conceded one goal, it was a goal that affected the result.
I think we had a chance as well. Especially the chance for Shibato (Umi) from CK. However, we were unable to score, so we will have to score at least two points in our next match at our home, Saitama Stadium. Now I want to recover as quickly as possible and prepare for Sunday. I think this is one of the most important moments of the season."

(I think we are in a difficult situation with Hiroki Sakai being sent off, etc., but what are the positive aspects of today's game for the next game?)
“In the match against one of the best teams in the J.League, last season's J.League champions, I think we were able to control the opponent well.I don't think F. Marinos had any obvious chances to score throughout the match. It wasn't easy to play against a difficult opponent, especially at their home, but I think we were in control for most of the match against that opponent.We conceded a goal in a few situations, which made the situation even more difficult. However, in this game, the players showed what I mentioned earlier, so I think it was a positive thing overall, and I don't think there was anything bad to say about the team in today's game.
What was bad was the result. However, if you look at the content, you will remember the game in August, so I think you can believe that you can score at least one goal and win at home."
(Jumpei Hayakawa was injured, but there is a regulation that requires players under the age of 21 to be used in the YBC Levain Cup. What about his use in the next match?)
``First of all, I would like to carefully assess the condition of Jumpei Hayakawa. If Jumpei Hayakawa is unable to play, I will have to use Yota Horiuchi, but I think he will be fine.''
(Does Horiuchi play as a midfielder or fullback in practice?)
“(Horiuchi) Yota can play many positions, so I would like to use him in one of them.”
