Kubota Spears

Captain Maxi Faurua stated that his team needs to remove mistakes in order to score more during the remainder of the season: "Even though we created many chances, we made mistakes at crucial moments, which put us under pressure. We also managed to penetrate into the opponent's territory for many periods, and we want to fix that in order to score more goals in the future."

Wild Knights

Captain Atsushi Sakate highlighted their game plan in their recent win over Honda: "In previous games, our challenge was to stay in good form throughout the 80 minutes, but this week our goal was to play at the same quality after a good play, and to quickly recover from a bad play with a good play. In other words, we went into the game with a shared awareness of not letting the momentum slip away to the opponents. I feel that this is starting to show in the games, little by little."
