Head Coach JENS WISSING : "I think we played a truly fantastic game. We dominated the match and got off to a great start in many ways, and both of our goals came from good positions. I'm also pleased that we were able to play solidly for the full 90 minutes without giving the opponent much of a chance."

Q: "I think it was a complete victory. It was a big stepping stone for the upcoming ACL2, what are your thoughts on that?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "We won 2-0, but I think we could have scored more goals. However, I believe Kyoto is a high-quality, strong team. I think they have statistics that put them among the best in the J.League. They finished high in the standings last year as well, and while respecting their high quality, I think we were able to do what we set out to do, and overall, I'm satisfied with today's match, including the content of the game."

Q: What points did you emphasize to the players in preparation for the match against Kyoto Sanga FC?
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "I told the players to focus for the entire 90 minutes, and since we've started a series of matches from April, I told them to concentrate on the upcoming match against Kyoto, rather than worrying about future games. I made sure to tell the players that they should give it their all in front of the fans and supporters since we're playing in this stadium, and then I sent them onto the pitch."

Q" "In the flash interview earlier, you mentioned that it was a good week. Could you tell us what the team was able to improve or add to during the preparation period?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "I thought the most important thing was to keep everyone fresh, and since we couldn't really do proper training during the back-to-back matches in March, I think it was great that we were able to do regular training that we couldn't do during that time. It's not about anything in particular, but rather that we finally had time to train at a relaxed pace overall, and we were able to make good use of that time."
