[Player Comments]
◆ Okamoto Uta
Overall, I think today's match was one in which we were able to keep possession of the ball for the entire 90 minutes.
I was glad that we were able to score two goals in the first half in good positions.
As for the goal we conceded, it was from a counter attack, which is one of the opponent's specialties, and I thought that we may have been a little careless.
My personal challenge is to provide more 100% support when the goalkeeper or the fullback has the ball, and to call out to them on risk management.
The good thing was that we held firm in defence until the final whistle.

◆ Tono Taiki
First of all, today's match was played in bad weather with strong winds, so I was conscious of playing more delicately than usual.
We were in good form as a team and were able to enter the match in a good mood.
We had scored the opening goal and then some additional goals in quick succession, giving us some breathing room, but then we conceded a goal, so I think we were careless and let our guard down.
However, we remained calm and fought tenaciously as a team as usual, so I view this victory as a very positive thing.
Personally, I was hoping to score after my return, so I'm glad I was able to score.
Our performance wasn't the best, so we'll be preparing thoroughly for next week's match against Shizuoka Gakuen.


Thank you for your warm support for GAMBA OSAKA Youth today.
