-Player's comment after the game -
● No. 2 Masashi Wada
I felt I couldn't stop their FW who has better physical ability than me.
I know it is important for me to get good position when we have to play with like that people. I confront what was wrong today and train hard.

● No.18 Taisuke Akiyoshi
I could score because just a ball came to me.
I think I couldn't play well today...
I will remember how I feel now... rousy and kind of disappointed myself... I just keep practice harder. I would like to win for all remaining games.

●No.20 Ryota Iwasaki
I supposed to make the good chances to our team.. but I couldn't do well.
I also regret that I made some big mistakes and get our team worse...
I will train harder.

- No.26 Ryota Kobayashi -
I am happy to score for my first professional goal and it also was winning goal in this game.
I saw near side was crowded, so I went far side to wait for a ball.
Akiyoshi kicked exactly where I wanted.
As a DF, we could manage to protect our goal in the beginning, even though they scored later. If they scored us earlier, the story must have been different.
I hope we can get better position at the end of league.

- No.18 Taisuke Akiyoshi -
I just recovered from injury and felt scared to play on artificial field.
But I've totally forgotten in the game about it. I was really concentrated.
I felt everybody spirit for winning in the game.
I think our Spirit was stronger than opponent. So we could win from behind.
But I also feel that we have a lot of thing to practice.
We need better skill for keep winning.
I will practice hard to win for remaining 4 games.

Yukata?! @ Central

Our 9 players was invited "MATSURI" (Japanese festival) event at Central.

They wore "yukata" which is Japanese traditional clothes in summer.
How do they look??



Now, change to jersey and let's show our skills on the stage!!



"I was very nervous because of such a place and many audiences. But it was good experience too." - Shohei Doi

After that event, we had a photo session.

Last Sunday

Our kids school had a competition last Sunday.
Some of Albi-S players came for cheering.

We saw their strong " never give up" spirit and I impressed..
I am sure that players also got this "feeling" and hope they will show us in remaining games.

Gombak 3 - 1 Albirex Niigata FC (S)

at Jurong East Stadium







◇◆ Player's comment ◆◇

(Norio Takahashi )
We already expected Gombak to pressure us.
But we couldn't control them because of their amazing physical abilities.
I thought we can win if we can hold for 15min at the beginning, but they scored during the period.
We became to play passive. Then we couldn't score enough even we could change in 2nd half.

For having a good result next,
it is very important for us to have strong spirit and mentality, beside of skills.
And we also need challenging spirit.
I will act because I believe everybody will follow me if I do it so.

(Tetsuya Okayama )
It was bad starting part... the we allowed them to get goals...
And it was big disadvantage even we could play well in 2nd half.

The reason we lost today is actually our fault.
It is most important to concentrate from the starting .
We have to take advantage from this experience.
I will go for achieving result next game.

(Takashi Mochizuki)
We lost our possession easily even the moment which must keep it.
I felt the lost was made by ourselves.
All of us have to think best way to act and win for the rest of 5 games.
I will try playing harder to get a good result with our spirit.
