[ピーター クラモフスキー監督記者会見コメント]
Q: Please look back on the game.
A, very disappointing result and a disappointing night. I think it’s my fault that we didn’t get off to the best start in the first half. Conceding a goal early in the match made it difficult for us to play. Among them, the players tried to show their strengths and tenacity. After the 30th minute of the first half, I think we were able to play with our flow. After the discussion at halftime, the players responded wonderfully. I was trying to change the flow with a goal, but I couldn’t get it, and it was a tough development. I wish we could have scored a goal sooner. The players were desperate and fought to reversal. I am sorry that we were not able to deliver 3 points for our fans and supporters.
Q, what kind of instructions did you try to change the situation at half time?
A: We were doing well after the 30th minute of the first half, so we talked about continuing to do that, and reaffirmed our basic fighting style. In such a tough battle, I think it was a match that tested various things, such as what kind of character each player is. Even so, they fought tenaciously, and from the end of the first half, we were able to play positively in our own way.
On the positive side, we were able to play good football when we found our flow, and we were able to move the ball quickly, go out into space, and get into dangerous areas. Ta. I thought that if we were able to score one goal, the momentum would come to us. It’s a very disappointing result, but I’m going to stand up firmly from here.
[選手インタビュー]
Q: Please look back on the game.
A: We conceded two goals because we lacked concentration in the beginning of the match, and I have nothing but regrets. In the midst of that, the depth of the attack was created in the final stages of the match, creating chances for set pieces in quick succession, and KUMADA Naoki scored a goal. I felt keenly that we must prove through our play that we can win against teams like Avispa Fukuoka that have solid defense.
Q, you conceded a goal early, how did you fix it on the pitch?
A. Fukuoka has five defenses in defense, so it was difficult to break them down when attacking. I have the impression that we were unable to show offensive forms well throughout the first half and ended the match.
Q, the league match has no victory in 3 games.
A: I think it’s important to accept this result firmly. I can’t get involved in the Levain Cup, but I think I’ll just fix the issues in order to aim higher as a team.
Q: What was your impression of the match from the bench in the first half?
A: We conceded a goal as soon as the first half started, and we conceded the second goal with the same momentum. I thought there would be no problem with
Q, after participating, chances were born from kicks, which is also a feature.
A: As a team, we had to raise the gear and show momentum to the opponent even if we were spinning in the second half. Our tempo picked up after we scored one goal, so I thought that if we could show momentum from the beginning of the second half and score within 20 minutes of the start of the second half, it would be a different game. I think it would have been better if we could have shown more momentum to the opponents. This is something that cannot be done by one person alone, so we have to create an atmosphere where the whole team can come back even if we concede two goals. In any situation, if I give back one point, I won’t know, so I want to use it properly during the 90 minutes.
Q, you will have two consecutive Levain Cup matches with Fukuoka. How will you improve your points against the opponents who are pulling back and face the match?
A. I think the tempo will get worse if you let the opponent hold the ball while they are pulling. If the opponents have five backs like they did today, I think the most important thing is not to concede the opening goal in the course of the match. The regulations will change in the next match, so the weight of each point will be even more important than the league match. I’d like to think about how to play while going into the match.
Q: This is your first appearance since the match against Kashima Antlers on July 16th. What was your intention when you stepped onto the pitch?
A, compared to the past, I was able to participate in the early time zone. I was competing in a time zone that Tokyo was pushing, so I personally thought that I would definitely win. It was a shame that we weren’t able to score the second and third goals as a team, just because we had momentum.
Q, the first score of the league match. Please look back at the scoring scene.
A: As a forward, scoring goals is a matter of course, so I would like to continue scoring goals.
Q, I have the impression that you were in good shape, such as scoring goals from practice games.
A: Personally, I entered the match with the intention of getting the minimum result possible, so I am glad that I was able to score the minimum possible score. The first half was a waste of time, so we will be playing against the same opponents soon, so we want to fix that as a team and focus on the result in the next match.
Q. There was a long period of time when you weren’t participating. What kind of preparations have you made?
A: We had a lot of practice matches this summer, and we have been conscious of switching offense and defense, such as increasing the amount of exercise, including practice. Personally, I am improving my defensive strength in order to play in the league matches, so I would like to continue to increase my playing time in the league matches.
