Head Coach comments after the match

Head Coach

Q. What kind of game plan did you have prepared against Marinos?

Head Coach Miyamoto
"First of all, we had to think about how to respond to teams with strong offensive power. Of course, if we had a chance to steal the ball in the front line, we went for it, but even if we were pushed back a little, we still aimed for a counter attack, and I think we saw some of that in the first half."

Q. I think the two substitutions in the second half changed the flow of the game, but how did you want your players to play after you got that one point back?

Head Coach Miyamoto
"I think it was a game we could have brought to 2-2, and of course we had one more substitution after that, so we were thinking about making some changes, but the third goal was conceded in a slightly disappointing way, so I think that's why we ended up losing."

Q. You played in a defensive formation to counter Marinos' offensive power, but ended up conceding two goals. What miscalculation did you make?

Head Coach Miyamoto
"The first goal was conceded when we had three midfielders, and the ball was in a zone where it was difficult to slide, and the center backs, who normally can't keep up with the mark, could have applied pressure, so I think we could have dealt with it. When the right-back took a shot, Young-Gwon went to block it, and I think we should have responded in the same way. The second goal was conceded after a long ball was cut short, and I think the space created by the way the ball was lost was used well."
