Kashima Antlers boss Go Oiwa has sought to play down the pressure on his team ahead of Saturday's potential J. League championship title clincher away to his former club Jubilo Iwata.
With the defending champion Antlers two points clear of Kawasaki Frontale, a win against Iwata in the season's final round will secure the Ibaraki club a record-extending ninth league title.
Kawasaki, however, boasts a vastly superior goal difference and a win for Toru Oniki's men at home to already relegated Omiya Ardija coupled with a draw or defeat for Kashima would see them clinch their long-awaited first major domestic trophy.
