Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. Nagoya is a great team with a lot of talent and a lot of experienced players, and I think they fought really strong and well. I think they played a game that showed our own, Gamba style. We conceded goals because of two corner kicks, so there are areas to improve on, but I think they fought strong against a team with physical strength. In terms of offense, I think they did what they had to do against the opponent's five players, scoring goals and putting pressure on us. The team reacted well even after the score became 2-2, and I would like to praise the players for their overall fighting spirit and attitude."

Q: With the score at 3-2, I think the three goals were a positive for the offense, but you mentioned that there are areas for improvement in the defense as well. What specific improvements do you think need to be made in the limited time available?
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, our opponent, Nagoya, is a team with potential, and they have solid talent. Kawasaki in the previous match is also a team with talent that has participated in the ACL. And although it is difficult to control talent, I would like to improve it together with the players, including the tactical aspects. In today's match, I think it was important to make contact with the opponent and not let them run as they please, so as not to give them time. So we will all work hard to improve on this for the rest of the season."

Q: "Sakamoto-san scored two goals today, but in addition to scoring, he also came down to help with play-making and pressed the opponent from the front line. What is your assessment of Head Coach Poyatos, and what are your expectations for him in the future?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. I'm really pleased with the growth of these two young players, Sakamoto and now MITO. I think they are perfect players for our football philosophy. I also have high expectations that once they've improved physically, they'll be able to do even more. I really think they're important players for the future of this club, GAMBA OSAKA, and as I said before, I think they'll contribute even more to this club once they've achieved a good balance between this football style and their physical condition."

Q: "Fukuda scored the winning goal at the end. He has been out for a long time, but I think Head Coach Poyatos has spoken to him about it. Please tell us about your play today and the words you would like to say to him."
Head Coach Poyatos: "That's right. When I saw him score a goal, my emotions really exploded. He is a really cheerful person in everyday life, and that cheerfulness brings a positive change to the team, and gives the team something really positive. But I always thought that deep down he must be suffering a lot. That's why I believed in him so much, and that's why I want to give him more and more confidence and trust that he has more and more power, that he can help the team, and that he can do even more if he keeps challenging himself. It may have been painful to lose such a game, but I'm really happy that we won and that he was able to perform in this way."
