Head Coach Poyatos: "I really want to congratulate the players. Reysol is a team that came to this ground with determination in a difficult situation and fought. There was a lot of pressure, but I think we reacted well to the fighting team and fought. I'm very satisfied with that. I think we executed our plan in the first half and were in good control, but we lost out due to a small mistake. We started the second half really well, and with Ryotaro MESHINO's goal we were able to calm down and take control. Then the opponent had a player sent off, making the score 3-1, and I think we were able to control and dominate the game even more against Reysol."

Q: "Fukuda scored a great goal in the previous match, so why did you choose MESHINO for this match?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "As a Head Coach, I fight every week while exploring various possibilities and possibilities for winning. Among them, I played with Kashiwa Kashiwa Reysol's left-back DIEGO Jara Rodrigues in Tokushima, and I knew his characteristics, so I thought about how to damage DIEGO Jara Rodrigues and chose (MESHINO) Ryotaro as a starter. Ryotaro is more effective when he is in the middle, so I chose Ryotaro because I thought that he would lose his good relationship with Savio. (Fukuda) Yuya scored a goal last time, so I think he will find it hard to accept that he has been left out, but I explained that to him clearly and made it clear that I chose Ryotaro so that Gamba could win. However, I would like to thank Yuya for his performance in the second half and for being able to enter the game properly. As for Ryotaro, I think he decided today's game. "

Q: "In the opening game away against Kashiwa, Higashiguchi was a substitute, and at the time, Head Coach Poyatos said that he was "fascinated" by Higashiguchi. Today, Higashiguchi showed a stable performance in a difficult situation, and I think that his recent stability has led to the solidity of the defense. Please tell us again about the effect of having Higashiguchi as the GK and your evaluation of him."
Head Coach Poyatos: "As a Head Coach, I have been consistent from the beginning in choosing players based on their daily performance. As for (Tani) Akio, I may make mistakes in judging his performance, but when his performance dropped a little, Higashiguchi took advantage of the opportunity, so I am continuing to use him for now. As for Higashiguchi, he knows how to fight like a warrior, thanks to his mature experience. I think that the experience he has accumulated over hundreds of games brings calm to this team. I think he is a very smart player. So I think Akio is a future Gamba player, and I believe that he will get his chance someday. I respect Gamba's current good form and I want him to work hard to perform well in daily practice."

Head Coach Poyatos: "I would like to say one thing here. At the end, when the Gamba fans and supporters were in a state of great excitement, the Reysol supporters started chanting "J2 Kashiwa." As GAMBA OSAKA and as the person in charge, I believe that there was a lack of respect shown to the Reysol fans, staff, and related parties, and I would like to offer my apologies on behalf of everyone involved. I am sorry."
