Today marks the final day of the 17-day camp.
In yesterday's match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, we won with a total score of 2-1. The collaboration and strategies developed and refined during the camp period were embodied on the pitch, and the glimpses of PITA Tokyo's efforts to build the team from the start of the season are gradually becoming clearer.
The team will return to Tokyo from here and will enter the final preparations for the season opener in about two weeks.
On the final day of camp, we interviewed coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI about the camp's results.
Q, please summarize the entire camp.
A, we were able to express what we want to do, and it became a camp that developed the team. In yesterday's training match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, we were able to express our style in terms of intensity, physicality, and football. We are returning to Tokyo. We want to build the team for the upcoming league opener.
Q. After the camp, it feels like the football that Coach Peter CKLAMOVSKI aims for has been firmly instilled in the team.
A, there are still many things we need to do, and we need to fight even harder. In terms of football, good signs and good plays are starting to emerge. It's about the perspective of what kind of football we will show. The team has positive and forward-looking signs. During the camp period, we were able to demonstrate through our play what kind of football we should be playing and what mindset we need to adopt. Exciting elements are increasing.
Q: I can't wait for the league to start.
The players are approaching practice with a hungry spirit. They are positively thinking about what kind of team they want to become and what kind of soccer they want to show. That is very important.
Today, players attended a soccer clinic for children in Miyakonojo City. For about an hour, they deepened their interactions with local children, focusing on mini-games. New bonds were formed between the attending players and the participating children through soccer, and the venue was filled with smiles.
Thank you to everyone who participated, it was a fun time.
