Pre-match comments for the Kashiwa match (Head Coach Poyatos, Kishimoto, Nakatani)

Head Coach DANIEL POYATOS
"Over the past two weeks, I thought it was important to improve on our current good momentum, and I think we've done a good job in that regard. We've been adjusting the balance of the players' conditions, and we've been focusing on improving our football ideas, particularly how we break down the defense in the final third and creating more chances. In the away game against Kashiwa, we were going through a difficult time as a team and weren't in the best of form, so we want to show that this time is different. If the other team has the ball, we'll struggle, and if we have a good hold of the ball, they'll struggle, so I want the players to be bold and show their strengths."

DF15 Takeru KISHIMOTO
"During this break, we were able to rest a lot and prepare well, and as a team we did what we needed to do, so I think we've made good progress. Kashiwa's lineup has changed a little since we last played them away, but I have the impression that they're consistently playing the kind of football they want to play. I think they'll try to break down the defense by maintaining good possession, but even if they have the ball, I think it's fine if we just let them have it. We need to be aggressive and go after the ball, and conversely, if we can't do that, we can respond by forming a solid block and have a chance of winning. There are not many games left, but we want to express our feelings with passionate play so that the audience can enjoy the game."

DF20 Shinnosuke NAKATANI
"We've been on a good run so far, and I think we're in good form as a team, so I want to keep this up and play like we did against Kashima, facing our opponents head-on and fighting like we did. The away game against Kashiwa was the toughest game of the season, and I remember it very well because we just couldn't do anything. However, our team situation and players have changed a little since then, so I think we can put up a good fight this time. If we go for the ball half-heartedly, the opponent's strengths will come out, so it's very important to judge when to go and when not to go, and I think the longer we can keep a clean sheet like we did against Kashima, the more chances we'll have to score, so I want to keep it at zero."
