JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "I think it was a fantastic game. The players gave a great performance on the pitch, and we started particularly well in the first half, dominating the game. Of course, we conceded an early goal from an opponent's free kick, but other than that, I felt like we didn't let them do anything. From there, we calmly equalized, and in the second half, I think the players continued to express their belief in themselves. We were determined to win, and we scored the second goal, so it's frustrating that we were caught up to at the very end. Nevertheless, I think the players gave it their all until the end and gave a great performance."

Q&"Gamba probably wanted to win the match within 90 minutes. Regarding the last goal conceded, I believe it was while you were playing with a five-man defense. What are your thoughts on that, Head Coach?"
JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "Of course, there's the fact that we couldn't get three points in 90 minutes, and there are all sorts of 'what ifs' once the match is over. Within that, Kobe's strength lies in their ability to consistently deliver high-quality crosses, and we conceded the equalizer at that point. Of course, it's frustrating, but we have to accept it. I have absolutely no regrets about the decision to go with five defenders. If I were in a similar situation again, I would make that choice, and I have no regrets because it was something we believed in."

Q" "Basically, I don't think you'll change your style of play, but I noticed that your fullbacks didn't push forward much. Could you tell us if you did anything to counter Kobe?"
JENS WISSING, Head Coach: "I don't think so at all. I think the fullbacks pressed and defended well from the front, and they did as they always do. I think Handa on the right and Hatsuse on the left were able to press and attack from the front as well. I don't think they were covering the space behind the defense any more than usual."
