Comments

INABA Kotaro　(Bardral Urayasu Futbol Sal)
Today we couldn’t make many effective opportunities in offense and as a result we allowed 2 first goals from Lazio counter attacking us and lost the game. For the last four matches, this one was the most difficult match because we couldn’t get many good chances. I felt that we have to improve our abilities to maximise any chances such as set plays and counter attacks. I have an impression about Italian teams’ physical strengths after having 4 training matches and watching one Serie A match. It is necessary for us to know when we play against strong teams what kind of play works well and what doesn’t. Our strength is speed and strategy, so we want to do our best to get good results for the next 2 matches. Myself, I want to play more aggressively in the next matches.

KITAJIMA Yuichi (Vasagey Oita)
I could play longer than the other previous training matches today. In the match I had more time to get confused by the opponents’ pressure and sense of distance. I still think it was a productive time for me because we cannot normally experience these pressures. I want to maximise this training camp very much and make the most of this opportunity to train until the end.
