Head Coach Poyatos: "It was a difficult match, and Avispa Fukuoka has a really established playing style, so we knew there would be a lot of second balls, and we knew that corner kicks were their strong point, but we made a mistake there and allowed a goal. But after that, we were able to show our maturity as a team, tying the score and then turning it around, which I think shows our maturity as a team. From there, the opponent created a few dangerous situations, but we were able to defend well, and although this was not the kind of development I personally liked or wanted, I'm glad that we were able to pull off a win."

Q: "You won the last match for the first time in a while, and I think it's a theory that winning teams don't change their members much, so why did you use Miura and DAWHAN, and why did you use Handa on the left wing?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "My answer combines the first and second questions, but regarding the first question, you can't really compare Albirex Niigata and Avispa Fukuoka , so I'll preface it by saying that there are differences there. First of all, regarding (Miura) DF , as I said earlier, Avispa Fukuoka has an established presence and I understood that they play clearly, so I thought I would put Genta in that position. In the usual defensive line, I think it would be Handa and Kurokawa, but I thought that would cause problems in the air, and in the match between Konno and Lukian, Konno would put the ball in, and I knew that Lukian's strength was also in that, so I selected the members like that today."

Q: "The decision to switch to a five-back formation at the end was very quick, and although it was successful in the end, I would like to know if you had any inner conflicts as Head Coach Poyatos."
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, it was the moment WELLINGTON Luis De Sousa came on, so I recognized that Avispa Fukuoka had more power up front, and I thought that even if we pressed them, they would quickly turn the game around with a long ball. I thought that with Lukian, Yamagishi, and WELLINGTON Luis De Sousa up front, the opponents would have more power, so as you said earlier, I had some internal conflicts, but with the goal of strengthening the back line, we knew that we needed to win as a team, so we made the decision to go with five players (in the DF line) today."

Q: You said earlier that things didn't go as you hoped, but what was your game plan and why did it not work out?
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. In fact, our plan was to play with three players at the back, and we thought the opponents would create a middle block, so we had the intention of breaking down that and getting past them, but after we tied the score, Lukian started to come forward quite a bit and pushed forward, and I think that's why we couldn't keep the ball. On the other hand, as we adapted to that situation, we were able to find JEBALI, and we were able to win the ball at the opponent's center back and keep it there, so I think everyone has an image of Gamba as someone who tries to play with the ball, but we have to adapt as the game progresses. I think that's what we were able to do today."
