◆ Takato YAMAMOTO
Throughout the 80 minutes of today's match, we struggled to play our own style of football and had many difficult times.
Although we created several scoring opportunities, we were unable to convert them and made the game even more difficult for ourselves.
Although I won, I personally wasn't satisfied with my performance.
We will reflect on this game thoroughly and with the league matches resuming next week, we would like to work hard as a team to achieve victory.

◆ Nobata Yuma
Coming into the Club Youth Kansai Qualifiers having yet to win in three games, this was a game we absolutely had to win to secure a ticket to the nationals.
As for the game itself, I think it was good that as a GK I played solid defense and kept the score at zero.
With the score at 0-0, when the game went into a penalty shootout, I went into the game with the determination that I would stop the penalty and become the hero.
In the end, I'm really glad that we were able to save two goals and qualify for the nationals.
However, we still need to look back and reflect on the game content, so as we compete in the Premier League and club youth leagues,
We need to aim higher as a team.


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