Post Match Comments

WADA, Masahiro: Overall
"I hoped we could hang on for the win after getting the opening goal, but I felt we gifted them too many opportunities for set plays and that's how they got the equalizer. In bad conditions like this, these set plays ca be the difference between victory and defeat so this is something we need to work on for the next match."
YOSHIDA, Takayuki: "The began to hit us on the counter during the second half, mainly due to the fact that our midfield was too slow in getting back. I realised this but was taken off before I could do anything."
Are you satisfied with the away point?
"No. I don't think any of us are."
ROGERINHO: How was your first J.League match?
"It was good. Although we took the lead, they were able to equalize. That can happen in football. There are many games to go and I think we will get better as a team with more matches, and I believe my performances will also improve. I'm hoping 2011 will be a good year for Vissel Kobe."
OKUBO, Yoshito: The goal
"I wouldn't usually shoot from that position, but you never know what can happen in these kind of conditions. It was my first goal for some time, and I hope to score many more this season."
Do you feel that you have dropped 2 points?
"I wouldn't say that. I think we have the better players, but it was hard to link up in the midfield in the wet, so I think it was a fair result."
