Head Coach JENS WISSING said , "We'll be using a lot of fresh players in this match, so I think it's a chance for players who haven't had much playing time until now. They've been showing a strong desire to be on the pitch and show what they can do, even if it's just for the final match, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how they perform on the field. Tokyo Verdy is a team that comes forward aggressively and with high intensity. I want our players to fight with a brave and confident attitude, rather than hiding from their opponent, and to show how much of what they have to offer. I think we'll see the brimming energy of our young players in the final match of the half-season, so I hope as many people as possible will come to support us, and we want to end the season with a win."

MF27 Rin MITO: "In our last match against them, I didn't feel like we were beaten, but it ended in a 1-1 draw, and we weren't able to play with much intensity, so in this match, we want to be more aggressive. Tokyo Verdy has players who can hold up the ball up front, players with good running ability and mobility in the defensive midfield, and their captain, Morita, is good at reading the flow of the game, so they have a lot of good players. But I think we can surpass them in quality, so we want to show the difference as a team. This time, we're fielding a young and fresh lineup, so I think the team that has more running ability and aggressiveness will have the advantage and will win, so we want to show those things and end with a victory."

DF67 Shogo SASAKI: "Tokyo Verdy comes at us very aggressively from the front, so we want to eliminate mistakes in our build-up play from the back. To learn from our mistakes last time, I want to communicate with the players on the field and make demands, and I think I can do a little better in my own positioning than last time, so I want to make sure this match is not the same as the 1st Leg. I don't know if Someno will play, but he scores goals and is good at holding up the ball and starting attacks, so we will have to be wary of him if he comes on. Looking ahead to next season, I think I need to showcase my strengths in this match, so if I play, I want to show my strengths first, keep a clean sheet at the back and win the match. I want to approach the game with full concentration to achieve that."
