[Player and Coach Comments]

《Sei MUROYA》
"Overall, we played well, but we were made to play the way Gamba wanted. Still, there is no need to look down, and since there is another match coming up soon, I want to switch gears. I think we need to learn from this loss, and I want to adjust and prepare for the next match based on what we learn from this defeat."
I tried to take a high position on the side to become a starting point, but I couldn't quite get there.
In today's match, there were many opportunities to receive short counters, making it difficult to push up our position. I think it would have been better if we could have created a pace for the whole team with a bit more composure.
I wanted to increase the opportunities to enter the attacking third and change the flow of the game, and I tried to challenge myself even if I failed. I want to continue doing this in the future.

Akihiro HAYASHI
Many felt that all three goals conceded were easy goals. The first goal is something we need to discuss and tighten up as a team, but it was a situation where the opposing midfielder received the ball behind us, and we need to delay or avoid the risk in such situations.
I think the second goal could have been prevented if we had changed our approach a bit. For the third goal, I was slow to react to the second ball, but I felt it was a situation where I could have challenged a bit more.
I think it's not too serious since we were able to discuss solutions immediately after conceding three goals. However, I don't think everyone is doing well in the attacking part. I believe that we need to effectively connect our solid defense to our attack, which is where we need to grow moving forward.

《Summary of Coach Yoshiyuki SHINODA's Press Conference》
"I am very disappointed because we lost 0-3."
The mistakes stood out at key points, and when it came to the final goal, we still fell short. I think we could have challenged the opponent's defensive line a bit more, received the ball in between, and faced forward.
We want to think together about how to turn this self-inflicted defeat into a positive for the next time.

《G Osaka - Summary of Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference》
I think the players had a very intense match. I have nothing to say.
In the first half, there were some mistakes, but we talked about covering for each other even when mistakes happen, and I think we showed that attitude from the beginning. Higashi (Higashiguchi) also stopped a penalty for the first time, and such a big play gives a lot of courage and strength to the players around him.
I think that led to the third goal, and everyone really fought and showed their spirit, which resulted in this kind of match.
