Head Coach comments after the match

Head Coach

Head Coach Poyatos: "I think they played a really complete game. They really outplayed their opponents, and in the first half, they created plenty of chances to score goals. In the second half, when we were leading 1-0, I wondered how the players would react, but they controlled the game well and I think they played a really good game."

Q: "You were on the offensive from the first half onwards, but you couldn't score a goal. What instructions did you give at halftime?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "We made some adjustments and corrections to be on the lookout for counterattacks from the opposing team's players, such as Matheus, during our attacks. To do that, instead of placing the ball in the middle, we placed the ball on the side first, and forced the opponent to retreat. I told the players that we could deal with counterattacks. I also told them to stay as close to JEBALI as possible during attacks, and to make sure that there were players close to JEBALI when he put the ball in."

Q: "We've had some injuries in the last few games, so we've had to experiment with our formation, but today we went back to the original and Yamashita scored a goal with a side attack. What are your thoughts on Yamashita and JEBALI?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "In the last match, we had to think about the situation where we had a side player who was injured and not there, so we had to think about it as a team. As for today's match, I don't really think about one person, but rather that everyone really played well. So I think it was a match where each person helped and supported each other."

Q: "You haven't won in four games and it must have been a tough situation, but what value do you think this victory will bring to the team?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes. I think we have a sense of security. When you find yourself in a situation like this, it's inevitable that you start to doubt what you're doing. But with this victory, each individual player has regained their energy and confidence in what they're doing, and I think that will help the team. It also creates loyalty. So, Panasonic Stadium Suita is a stadium where you can trust when you play here. Although we lost to Machida, we played a good game, and we have proof that we can do good work at this stadium. So I want to keep up the good work even when we're playing away from home, and move forward with the team."
