[Player/Coach Comments]

"Kotaro OMORI"
(I think it was a game to win 3 points...)
"It was a result of both teams fighting hard, but it's very frustrating."

(What the team was conscious of in the beginning of the game)
"We talked about going on the offensive from the start. We were conscious of taking the ball and creating chances."

(Did it seem like the defense from the front was fitting as the word suggests?)
"I wish I or Tomogashi had decided on that."

(The difficult period lasted for a long time, but how was it?)
"I think we were able to create our own shape and effectively eliminate the ball towards the opponent, so we want to tighten up our final quality more."

(It was a match against my former team, but how was it?)
"I was frustrated."

"Kosuke OTA"
"I am disappointed that we couldn't win, but it's not a pessimistic result. We need to look forward, and make up for the loss in the next game. We have to come together and do our best."

(A word for the future)
"I want to continue to be positive and maintain a good atmosphere, and also contribute to the team. I hope you can expect the team to show even more strength in the future."

"Tokyo - Coach Kenta HASEGAWA's Press Conference Summary"
"(I am) not a good person at all, and it's frustrating to lose. We didn't come here to give Gamba 3 points, so I think it's a wasted game result."
The first goal was from a loose ball from a set piece, and there were some unavoidable parts, and today's match was played in the hot and humid weather of Kansai, so the players' stamina was greatly depleted.
Although it was good that we were able to catch up to a tie by putting in effort towards the end, I feel like we lacked composure afterwards.
I think if we were able to secure 1 point away and aim for 3 points, we could have had a different result.
However, I think that is also an experience, and I still think that our strength was not enough, so I want to use today's lesson for the next time.
The league season is long, so it is very important to accumulate points even if it is only one point per game. I think the players did a great job of catching up and fighting afterwards, but due to the heat, they lacked composure in the end. I think we lost the ball too easily and ended up conceding on the counter.
However, it's not just the defense that can be blamed. The attacking side also missed chances and we need to improve as a team to be able to score in crucial moments.

《Q&A》
Q=You mentioned "mottainai", could you explain its meaning a bit more?
"There was no need to give away a winning goal in additional time. I think we should have played more carefully and thought about the time."
After the game, I told the players that if we manage the risks behind us, the results will change as the front line can go for the ball.
"I believe it is necessary to bring home points even in such tough and difficult games."

Q=There were many opportunities for player Tomigashi. As a coach from FW, I think I understand his feelings of not being able to decide. If you were to speak to player Tomigashi from the coach, what would you say? Also, what is your evaluation?
"There are no words to say. I told the person that they lost because they missed, and we talked about how it's inevitable to have this kind of result if we can't make it happen in those moments."
I think I understand the most, and if I become a player who can make decisions in such situations, my evaluation will change again.

"Summary of G Osaka Manager Tsuneyasu Miyamoto's Press Conference"
"In the previous match, we suffered a very disappointing defeat, so I was curious to see how the players would react. However, they showed a strong determination that exceeded my expectations."
In the beginning, there were some tough moments, but for the rest of the game, they showed their strength in first defense and were able to progress the game well. It was a good first half.
However, I think there is room for improvement in defense when the ball is put into the vital area.
After scoring points in the second half, I don't think we were just defending, but the opponent came out with a strong attack, so there was also time to switch to a defensive stance. We were able to hold our own by changing players and formations, but we were ultimately beaten by individual skills.
We need to reflect on that as a team.
However, even if we were caught up in a tie, it was Ademilson's goal that was the result of showing the attitude of facing up that was not seen in the previous game. It was a victory that everyone wanted, and I think that hard work led to the result, so it was a good victory today because we really wanted to deliver a victory to the supporters.
"However, since we have only won one game, we must focus and continue to do our best for the next one," he said.
