Comment from Obata Sosuke
This was the Osaka Derby, and we absolutely had to beat our opponent, so we went into the match with a lot of enthusiasm.
We scored a goal early on in the first half in a good way, so we continued to use that momentum to aim for more goals.
However, in the second half, we were overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum and ended up conceding a goal.
I felt that both as a team and as individuals, we were pushed back by the opponents' momentum and conceded goals, which was an issue we had to address in this match.
For the next match, we would like to make improvements on the issues that came up in this match and prepare well so that we can win without conceding any goals.

Comment from Sunada Koito
This was a derby match, so it was an intense one.
I was able to score early on in the game. I think we were able to switch quickly on both offense and defense, and although we had some dangerous moments, I think we defended well.
On offense, I think everyone was able to switch on and attack when receiving vertical passes to the FW.
However, there was one slackness that allowed us to get hit with a counter attack, which is an area that needs improvement.
Starting tomorrow, we will work on our individual and team challenges in preparation for the next match, and with good preparation we hope to overwhelm our opponents and win.

Thank you for your warm support for GAMBA OSAKA Junior Youth today.
