Head Coach Miyamoto
"First of all, we had to use one of the U-21 players, so we thought about who to substitute from among the regular league members. In the recent match (quarterfinal first leg), we had three days between the league match and we considered his condition, so we started him on the bench, but we were thinking of starting him in the 2nd Leg.
However, we wanted to continue with the previous members, so he was on the bench again today, but we substituted him in the hopes of him providing a high-quality final pass or shot at a crucial moment. I think we saw good combinations with Anderson PATRIC Aguiar Oliveira and ADEMILSON Braga Bispo Junior again today.
