Players' Comments

MUROTA Yuki (ESPOLADA HOKKAIDO)
We won the game 3-0 despite a struggle. As we stayed patient until the final whistle, staying focused, we could control the match well. Unfortunately, I personally couldn’t perform well. We’ll play another practice game tomorrow. I’d like to show what I’ve learned today, and enjoy the match. Please come and see us at the site! 

SHIMIZU Kazuya (FUGADOR SUMIDA)
We had some good achievements as well as issues to be fixed in today’s match. I believe that we stayed focused until the end. I’ll play hard in tomorrow’s match, showing what we learned today.

OSODO Nobuya (SHRIKER OSAKA)
We struggled with the opponent’s pressure in the first half, but we gathered ourselves together in the second half to win the game. In tomorrow’s match, we’d like to stay vocal to pick up our pace and take the initiative.
