Head Coach JENS WISSING said , "I believe Hiroshima is a team with strong individual players and will play with high intensity. I also have the impression that they will put in a lot of crosses near the goal and commit many players into the penalty box. This tight schedule is beyond our control, but we want to focus on what we need to do within that constraint. We are going to the J.League to return to the battlefield and win, so we want to be well-prepared. Our fans and supporters have traveled all the way to Ratchaburi for this away match, and they are an indispensable part of our team. We hope that many of you will come to the Hiroshima match and give us your support."

DF3 Riku HANDA : "Hiroshima has a Head Coach, but I don't get the impression that their team style of play has changed much from last year. They are a man-to-man team with high defensive intensity, so we want to play the game while avoiding careless ball losses. In particular, I want to be wary of Sota NAKAMURA, who made a strong impression on me when we played against them last year. I think there will be many situations where we will face each other during the match, and he is a particularly fast player, so I want to fight hard so that I don't lose in one-on-one situations. Many fans and supporters came to Thailand. We would be grateful if you could also come to the stadium in Hiroshima and give us enough support to wipe away our fatigue. We ask for your continued passionate support."

MF16 Tokuma SUZUKI : "Hiroshima, like Gamba, has a German Head Coach and is a fast-paced team that plays vertically, with a fluid defensive midfield. Personally, I want to be especially wary of Kawabe. He seems to receive the ball as a linkman and makes many runs forward, so if we leave him free, it could lead to dangerous situations. We want to press him firmly and put pressure on him. We want to play our own style of football and think about what we need to do to win as we go into the match. Especially at a time like this, I think if the players and fans and supporters come together as one, the results will follow. So, we want to fight together as one and aim for victory."
