Head Coach DANIEL POYATOS : "I'm really happy with the team for being able to come from behind to win these two matches, and I think the players have been performing well. During this break, we have had ACL matches coming up in a short period of time, so our top priority has been getting the players in the right condition to adapt to those. Urawa, our opponent this week, has a lot of talented, high-quality players, including Matsuo, Kaneko, Boza, and Gustavsson, so I think it will be important for us to have good possession of the ball, and I want the players to play aggressively. Head Coach Skorja keeps the block compact and positions himself well, which will hurt the opponents. They have good attacking quality and are able to take advantage of any openings, so we will be challenging Urawa."

FW17 Ryoya YAMASHITA "Head Coach's tactics are based on organized defense, and from a solid defense he can launch quick attacks that make use of the talent of his front line, so we want to force the opponent's front line players back as much as possible with our attacks and stop their momentum. I want to go into the game with the intention of forcing the opponent's offensive players to defend and then pushing them back. I think it will be a tight game, but there is also the possibility that one side will score first and then have to hold on, so it will be a very close game, so I think the first goal is important, and I want to score early and get the upper hand in the game. I believe that if I keep running for the team first, opportunities will come my way, so I want to play football for the team, play in a way that doesn't erase my strengths, and get that one point."

DF2 Shota FUKUOKA "After three straight losses, we've won two in a row, but I think the reason we conceded goals is the fault of our defenders who defend in the final stages, and we need to work hard to avoid conceding goals, including DF defense. To do that, I think it's important for the team to create opportunities where we can all work together, rather than just defending in isolation. Urawa, our opponent this week, is a talented team with many players who are good at receiving the ball in the gaps, so we need to be thorough about how we pass the ball. I hope we can play our own defense without going along with their style and create a format similar to the away game against Urawa, so the most important thing is to not let them score first. Head Coach Skorja's tactics call for solid defense, so I think scoring the first goal will be important."
