Head Coach JENS WISSING , "In the ACL2 final, the club, the players, and I all experienced the greatest moment. From there, we switched gears and approached the J.LEAGUE 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE. We gave the team a few days off to savor the victory and clear our heads, and in training after the break, we focused intently on this final match against Shimizu and prepared well. We won the ACL2 title, but the season is not over yet, and I don't think any of these matches are meaningless for us. It depends on the results of other teams, but I believe that if we do our best in this match and play our best game, the result will follow, and we have a chance to finish in fourth place. To achieve that, I think it's important that we show what we've been working on."

FW23 DENIZ HUMMET : "We've won the ACL2 title, but we still have three matches left in the J1 J.LEAGUE 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE, including the playoff round. In our last match against Shimizu, which we'll face in the final round, I remember we started the game too loosely, which put us in a difficult situation. We took a two-goal lead, but our concentration didn't last, and we ended up at 2-2. I think there was a moment when we were too relaxed. Shimizu is a good team, so we really need to concentrate to win, and there's a high possibility that they'll trip us up, so we want to approach the match with full concentration. Our goal right now is to finish this half-season in good form, in the best possible position, and I'm in a position to aim for double-digit goals and be the top scorer, so I want to be ambitious about that."
