The team moved to Miyakonojo City in Miyazaki Prefecture yesterday, and the Miyazaki-Miyakonojo camp has started today.
The team, with a practice match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima scheduled for tomorrow, focused on passing & control, possession, and game-form training for about an hour, sweating it out.
The quality and tempo of passes, movement before receiving the ball, and in defensive aspects, it was necessary to solidify the central position and narrow the opponent's options through positioning.
In game-form training, we prioritized the number of plays facing forward, examining how we engage with the ball and how to add depth to our attacks. Occasionally, there were praises from coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI for goals that emerged from combinations and precise build-ups.
After practice, we conducted an interview with number 17 Tsubasa TERAYAMA.
Q: Tomorrow is a practice match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Please share your enthusiasm as a culmination of the camp.
Since it's a match, the priority is to win. The camp is entering its final stages, and I believe the team is coming together well. With new members joining, there are naturally some difficult and challenging parts, but I think the most important thing is how we adjust those during the game. While expressing my own style, I want to fight tomorrow for the team to win.
Q. How do you analyze the ease of playing when the players forming the double defensive midfield partnership are not fixed?
A, since it is a team sport, I believe it is important to coordinate while discussing with those around you. I also play while observing the characteristics of the other players and how they move, so in tomorrow's practice match, I want to communicate well and play positive, good soccer.
Q. Are there any issues that have become apparent through repeated practice and practice matches, and do you feel that you have been able to address them?
The challenge we feel is in the build-up play, specifically how to move the ball forward. I believe we have been able to embody the style of football that Coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI talks about, where everyone aggressively pushes forward. However, both I personally and the team feel that the quality of this is still an issue, so we want to make sure to correct it properly. Regarding defensive intensity, no matter who plays in the match, it is consistently demonstrated, so we aim to build on our strengths and fix the areas that need improvement, hoping to deliver good performances.
