In the previous match against Kyoto Sanga FC, we were able to grab a win for the first time in three matches. After losing 0-3 to FC Tokyo, each of us had a strong rebound mentality and went into the match with a strong defense and attack. I think the biggest thing we gained from this was that each of us did what we had to do and our arrows were pointing in the same direction. We didn't have much time to prepare because we had played consecutive matches, but the situation we were in...it was clear that other teams were moving forward while we continued to stagnate, and I think it was good that the sense of crisis that each of us had about this allowed us to fight together on the pitch.

Of course, there were issues, including how we played in the second half. But considering the current state of the team, the important thing now is to "win and advance." Of course, we have a path, a style of football, that Dani (Head Coach Poyatos) has shown us, and it would be ideal if we could do that every time, and I want to reach that state as soon as possible. But that's why we need to create a cycle of correcting while winning, and I think that only then will we be able to think about "what can we do to increase our chances of winning?" or "how do we win?"

That's why we want to approach this match Shonan Bellmare with a firm focus on "winning." At the same time, to achieve that result, we must first thoroughly stick to the basics of defending together and attacking together, just like in the previous match. On top of that, I think it would be ideal if we could gradually add tactics to beat Shonan as we go along in the match.
Also, considering the situation we're in as a team, I think scoring the first goal is very meaningful. As was the case in the previous match, if we can score the first goal, the game will go according to our plan. It creates a situation where the opponent can make a move that we're trying to make. I want us to all be aware of that.

Following on from the previous match, we are naturally conscious of "winning consecutively" in this home match at Panasonic Stadium Suita. However, rather than thinking "we won the last match so let's continue winning" or "how to win", I want to focus only on putting all my effort into the match in front of me and securing the victory. In order to share the joy of victory with our fans and supporters, I promise that we will all "run and fight for Gamba's victory". Please support us.
