Head Coach DANIEL POYATOS : "We need to be aware that Kashiwa is a different team from Machida, and I think they have a similar structure to Shonan. We control the game by holding the ball firmly, not rushing, and making the opponent run and tiring them out. We also use our inside half players to exploit the space on the opponent's side. Also, when we don't have the ball, they press from the front, and they want to play in the opponent's court, so I think it's important for us to hold the ball firmly. To do that, I think the key is to apply a good press. I want to understand the situation so that we can enter the game in the best possible form, and select members who can play a good game."

DF3 Riku HANDA "I have the impression that Kashiwa has started to move the ball well, and in terms of defense, they have offensive players on both wings, so I think that if we can exploit that, we will have a chance. I think that any player who plays as the opponent's two strikers will be able to play, so I want to be careful about that, and if there is a scene such as a cross, I think that the opposing FW will have to respond, so I want to prevent them from doing so. Recently, we have been conceding the opening goal, and if difficult times continue, it will be difficult for us, so I think the outcome will be decided by how long we can keep the score at zero. I think that the rankings can change significantly with one game now, and I think that how many points we can accumulate here will determine whether we can be involved in the future championship race, so although the content is important, I want to somehow get three points."

FW51 Makoto MITSUTA "This year, Kashiwa is playing offensive football with a possession style under the new Head Coach, and I think they have good distances and combinations in front of the goal, so I think the team's tactics are well-established. However, because the opponents are pressing from the front, if we can get past one, there will be space behind us and it will be a chance, so I think it will be important to create an equal number of players or a numerical advantage in such places. We have not won the last three league games, so we want to win. In the Machida match, we were reminded that the first thing to do to win is not to concede goals, so we will work hard on defense, not concede goals, and increase our attacking opportunities."
