With three straight wins, we are back at Panasonic Stadium Suita and are excited to be playing at our home stadium again.

In the J1 League, all the teams are equally strong, so it's difficult to play a match, but the previous match against Urawa Reds was particularly difficult, as it was an away game against a team that was on a winning streak. That's why I think the best thing for us was that we were able to get three points. The opponent was a team that had solid ideas and team concepts and carried them out, but the fact that we were able to fight against them while expressing our own style was also important in terms of the result.

Of course, considering that we had two big chances in the first half, we need to have scored more in those situations to gain an advantage in the game. As I said before, even though the J1 League is a close league with no difference in strength between the top and bottom teams, you need to be aware of seizing the opportunities in front of you and turning them into victory. I am focusing more on that, and I intend to brush up on my skills while keeping my growth in line with the team's growth.

This week, we will face Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who is another very strong opponent after Urawa. This will be my first time facing them, but from what I've seen on video, I expect that they will be very physically demanding and will present a different level of difficulty to the Urawa match.
However, no matter how the opponent plays, what we do will not change. We want to show our aim and intensity as Gamba from the start and proceed with the match. In that sense, I think that the "first goal" has been a momentum for us in recent matches, so it would be ideal if we could score the "first goal" this time as well. However, in soccer, you never know what will happen. We can't always play the game the way we want to, and sometimes we have to be patient. That's why, even if we are forced into such a situation, can we believe in our own strength and continue the fight without wavering? In order to achieve that in this match, I want to play the match with a sense of unity with the fans and supporters who come to Panasonic Stadium Suita.

We on the pitch, the fans, and everyone involved with Gamba must come together and face Hiroshima. That will be the path to victory for us, GAMBA OSAKA. Let's all go for the win.
