[Director Ricardo Rodríguez]
“I think I’m ready for the match. There are many matches in this tournament, but I think all the players are well prepared. Good training in a good atmosphere. The team is in good shape because it is done. I think that winning the first race has made us even better prepared and have a better atmosphere. “
[Takahiro Sekine]
“The whole team has to survive this tournament and I think everyone has a chance, so I’m ready for the match.”
[質疑応答]
(Will some players rest by playing the match on this schedule?)
Ricardo Rodríguez
“We are thinking regarding that. We have many rivals, but there are also many matches in a series of battles, so I would like to take a closer look at the physical condition of the players. Our aim is for tomorrow’s members. You can see it. “
(The 2019 ACL was good, but is there any difference between that time and now?)
Takahiro Sekine
“The tournament method is different, and I feel like I’m experiencing it for the first time. There are many difficult points, but I think it’s necessary for the whole team to fight in good condition without using that as an excuse. increase”
(I got a lot of wins and a lot of points as a team once morest Lion City Sailors. I think there is a balance with the opponent, but does the successful experience following a long time have a good influence on the team?)
Ricardo Rodríguez
“I always think that if I win, I’m always positive. I think the performance of the match was good in the J League, but I mightn’t win the match. I scored a goal in the previous match, and I was confident in the goal. I think the feeling will follow. The goal is to break through the group stage, but I want to fight firmly with all the members while the team grows firmly. Growth is the unity of the team. It will be a part of the concept, but I would like to continue to grow while winning. “
(Side players played an active part in the first round, but there was also a good play such as Sekine taking turns and hitting a shot immediately. How regarding the strict side attacker’s enthusiasm for the position battle?)
Takahiro Sekine
“I think each has its own characteristics, and I think that even the same side attacker has each color. There is a 90-minute match, so I’m always thinking that I have a chance and I’m preparing for it. I’m thinking regarding showing my goodness, and I’m playing while understanding what I want to do as a team, so I’m always fighting to contribute to the team there. “
(Although I have won the first round, I think that the goal difference will be important in order to break through the group stage. Daegu FC’s victory over Shandong Taishan 7-0 is the next match. Are you under pressure to score a lot of goals?)
Ricardo Rodríguez
“I think there are several perspectives. I’ve talked regarding winning from the first match, and I’ve also said that it’s important to score a lot of goals. However, I’ve won both games once morest Daegu. If you can, the goal difference will not be so important, so I think it’s important to win every match. However, I think that various things will happen, so it’s also important to score goals. I got 3 points in the first round, but there were some improvements. I was able to score more goals and I’m sharing those things with the players. “
