In this round of the Emperor’s Cup, J2’s Chiba will face J1 league’s Sapporo at home. Chiba’s manager Kobayashi Yoshiyuki was interviewed before the game.
“Sapporo is a very unique opponent. They have signed a lot of players during this transfer window, and the characteristics of many new players are not easy to be known by their opponents. Of course, the different schedules also increase the difficulty of our analysis.”
“Overall, Sapporo’s defense is very good. On the offensive end, opponent manager Petrovic is expected to focus on counter-attacks. We will also continue our possession-based tactical style and will not change our approach to dominating and controlling the game.”
“Although there is a significant gap between J2 and J1 teams, Chiba certainly has the ability to challenge J1 teams.”
