Head Coach JENS WISSING : "Even though there's a lot of information about Kyoto, including the return of injured players, I think they have a clear understanding of what they need to do, and I don't think Kyoto's strengths have changed much since our last encounter. They've played a few fewer matches, and their lineup may have changed, but I think it's important for us to stay focused on our direction and what we need to do. Last time, we had a fantastic performance at our home ground. I think we proved that we can compete well even in high-intensity matches. We know their strengths, but we also know what we need to do, so we're determined to win our away match against Kyoto."

DF19 Ginjiro IKEGAYA : "I think my performance is improving, so I want to make the most of every game I get to play. Kyoto has several strong players up front, so if I get to play, I think I'll have more opportunities to showcase my defensive strengths. If I can show that I can contain strong players like Elias Da Silva Bataglia Rafael(RAFAEL ELIAS), it will boost my confidence, earn the trust of my teammates and the Head Coach, energize the team, and allow both myself and Gamba to move in a positive direction. So I want to defeat the opponents who come at me. But first, I want to focus on myself, shut down the opportunities I have and do what I need to do properly."

DF47 Shinya NAKANO : "Kyoto will run hard, and I think they're a team that will play aggressively with high intensity from the front. Also, when Elias Da Silva Bataglia Rafael(RAFAEL ELIAS) returns, he will hold the ball, and other players will keep coming forward, so the key will be how to contain that. Kyoto has many attacking players, but I think we can win if we can contain them, so when I get on the field, I want to do my best to defend well against the player I'm matched up against. I'm hungry to play, and I want to be involved in the game as much as possible. I really want to get results, so when my turn comes, I want to do my best to contribute to the team's victory."
