Head Coach Fernando‍ Calero Hill

“It was great to see everyone challenging for the full 40 minutes‌ against what is undoubtedly the best team in Japan, never giving up on the competition. With two ‌weeks until the regular season, this match highlighted some⁢ of the issues we need to address. We ​will continue to prepare thoroughly over the next two weeks.”

“It was⁢ a game where I felt there were many differences in both technical and physical aspects. There were times when ⁣we had the momentum and times when we played well, but‌ more ‍than that, I felt we needed to play strong defense to eliminate the strengths of our opponents. I learned a lot from this game, so I’d ​like to make the necessary adjustments and prepare for the regular season.”
