Head Coach comments after the match
Jens Vissing, Head Coach: "We have to admit defeat against a great team like Nagoya. I think they came at us with their strengths and confident tactics. I think their strengths were clearly evident in the goal we conceded, and it wasn't easy to defend against them. Of course, we weren't bad either, but I think we weren't able to create many clear chances, and that's when those two great goals were scored. It's not good, but we've played matches in this schedule, and I think each and every player has given their all. What I'm proud of is that we didn't give up until the end, we didn't hang our heads, we kept going towards the goal, and I'm glad we were able to score one goal, but I think it was a match that showed Nagoya's strength."
Q: "If JEBALI had played, I think the game could have unfolded differently. Could you tell us about JEBALI's condition?"
JENS WISSING, the Head Coach , "I just didn't want to take any risks."
Q: "You created several chances towards the end of the first half. What instructions did you give the players at halftime?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING said, "I told the players to just go for another goal, and that if we could score one, the momentum would definitely change, and we could bring the game back to square one. I think the players believed in that and tried. In this series of matches, and being an away game, and also because I think Nagoya is one of the strong teams in this Western League, we have a lot of respect for them, and we fought with the goal of catching up with Kobe, but in today's match, although the players showed a fighting spirit, we couldn't win in the 50/50 duels, and considering that, I think we were not able to win."
Q&Quot`: What is your assessment of Jiro NAKAMURA, who came on as a substitute in the second half?
JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "I appreciate his high quality, and I think he's a great player as a person. In terms of football, his strengths are his left foot, which he uses to deliver crosses and finishes, and his link-up play with other players is of high quality. I think he's a player with many good qualities. I've seen his growth up to this point, and I have high expectations for his future growth."
