Head Coach DANIEL POYATOS
"The match against Nagoya comes 2nd year of junior high school days after the match against Nam Dinh, but we were aware of the schedule and have been preparing well for the match against Nagoya. Nagoya has currently selected Kimura over Junker (as their lone striker), so I think they will press from the front. The opponents will play man-to-man, and Fujii and Nagai up front will press strongly, so the key will be how we break down the pressure from the first line. If we can break that down and push into the opponents' territory, I think the momentum will shift to our side. We don't want to let a defeat like the one we suffered last time against Kashiwa happen again, so we will use the lessons learned from the match against Nagoya and get our momentum going."

"The matches after this win will be very important, and I think Nagoya will use players who are willing to work hard, so we need to be on our toes. It will be very important for us to take the initiative and control the game, so we want to take the initiative firmly, both defensively and offensively. Nagoya's (Sato) Yodai scored a goal from a set piece in the previous match, and I think they have many players who are confident in set pieces, so we will of course be wary of that, but I think there will also be other opportunities that can decide the game, so we want to defend well and score. There are four league matches left. It's not the culmination of this season, but I think we need to show that."

"Nagoya has talented individual players up front, and I have the impression that they defend solidly as a team, and score through counterattacks with two or three players or set pieces, so when we're on the attack, we need to make sure we take shots all the way to the goal. Like when we played at home, if we have the ball and then lose it, if they press from the front at that moment, there will be little the opponent can do, so I want to focus on that from the start of the game. If we can score a goal, it can cause the opponent's defense to collapse, so I think it's important to score the first goal, and I want to be proactive in aiming for goals myself. We haven't won in two league games, but I want to take the three points and use the win against Nam Dinh as a positive step."
