The team moved to Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture yesterday and today marks the start of the Miyazaki/Tsukijo camp.
The team, who are preparing for a practice match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima tomorrow, spent about an hour sweating through training focused on passing and control, possession, and game-style exercises.
Quality and tempo of passes, movement before receiving the ball, and defensive positioning in the center to limit the opponent's options were required.
During game-style training, we prioritized the number of plays facing forward and confirmed how to interact with the ball and how to bring thickness to the attack. Occasionally, there were praises from coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI for the goals scored from combinations and accurate build-ups.
After the end of practice, we interviewed player number 17, Tsubasa TERAYAMA.
Q, Tomorrow is a practice match with Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Please tell us your enthusiasm as the culmination of the camp.
A, the first thing is to win because it's a game. We are also entering the final stage of the camp and I think the team is getting ready. New members have joined and there are of course difficult and unsuccessful parts, but I think the most important thing is how to fix them during the game. I want to fight tomorrow to win while showing my own color.
Q: How do you analyze the ease of playing without a fixed player combination in the double pivot position?
A, As it is a team sport, I believe it is important to communicate and coordinate with others. There are also parts where we play while observing the characteristics of the surrounding players and their movements, so I hope to have good communication and play positive soccer in tomorrow's practice match.
Q: Are there any challenges that have become apparent through repeated practice and practice matches, and do you feel that you have been able to address them?
One of the challenges we are facing is how to build up and move the ball forward. As coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI says, we are embodying the aggressive style of soccer where everyone moves forward. However, I personally and as a team feel that there is room for improvement in terms of quality, so we want to make sure to make necessary adjustments. As for the defensive intensity, I believe that anyone who plays in the game can demonstrate it, so we want to build on our strengths and make improvements in areas that need work, and hopefully have a good game.
