Pre-match comments for the Nagoya match (Vishing Head Coach, Araki player, Minamino player)

Head Coach JENS WISSING said , "In the match against Kobe, we were able to show our strengths as before, but also make a big difference by scoring when we had the chance, and we were able to show solid defense even when the opponent had clear chances. I think the important point in the match against Nagoya will be whether we can continue to do that. Nagoya is a team that presses from the front, and they have the strength to put in a lot of crosses and get into the box, but I think the key will be how well we can stay calm and keep a clean sheet under that kind of pressure from the front. Nagoya has climbed up the standings very well and I think they will be aiming for a win, so we want to be well prepared when we go up against them."

GK18 Rui ARAKI : "I feel like my condition is getting better and better with each match, and I'm growing in some areas, so I want to show that when I play in this match. Nagoya, our opponent this week, has a solid defense and I think they're a team that comes at us with high intensity and high pressure from the front, so I want to be able to use passing and long balls effectively and play calmly and composedly. Nagoya has Pisano, who is the same age as me, and he inspires me a lot, and it makes me want to work hard too, so I'll do my best. We've had a series of matches, but I think we've been able to get this far thanks to the passionate support of our fans and supporters, so let's work together until the end to aim for the title!"

FW42 Harumi MINAMINO : "I've been training hard, so my condition is good. I think I'm doing well in terms of scoring, as I'm consciously anticipating where the ball is going to come and moving to where it might go. In the Nagoya match, I think I can score if I can avoid being marked by the opponent, get into a position between them, and break through successfully. To aim for the championship, it's important to get 3 points and win within 90 minutes, so I'll do my best to score within 90 minutes. Last year I was in good form during Golden Week, and I've had a good start this year as well, but in order to continue to get results, the support of our fans and supporters is important, so please continue to support us."
