Head Coach Jenswiszing: "It wasn't an easy match, but I'm happy with the result. Every player played their part well, which allowed us to come back and win, and I want to commend the players for their performance, including their current position in the standings."

Q" "Minamino, who came on in the second half, scored two goals. He also played well in the second half of the ACL2 final. I think Araki and the other younger players have improved a lot, especially with him at the center. What are your thoughts on this?"
Jens Vissing (Head Coach): "I agree. Looking at this season, I think Gamba has many talented players. They were very dynamic in the matches and showed some fantastic play."

Q: What aspects of Minamino's performance have improved in particular?
Jenswiszing (Head Coach): "He's one of our most important players, and I think he's a really good player. I've seen a lot of improvement from him. He has great speed and fighting spirit, and he's strong in aerial duels. I've felt he was a good player since the start of this season."

Q: "I believe the theme of this match was recovery from being physically and mentally exhausted after a very big match in Saudi Arabia. What were your thoughts going into this match?"
Head Coach Jenswiszing: "It certainly wasn't easy to get back to this level. It was difficult to switch gears. However, we take every match seriously, and we've been telling our players for a week since returning home that we needed to switch gears. I think we were able to show our strength in today's match. Even after conceding a goal, we quickly equalized and took the lead. I think we were able to show that fighting spirit and switch gears properly."

Q" "All the goals were scored from crosses. What are your thoughts on cross attacks?"
Head Coach Jenswiszing: "We're not just thinking about crosses; there are various possibilities for scoring goals, including crosses, breakthroughs, and set pieces. Ultimately, we're doing everything we can to score goals. We have fullbacks who can deliver crosses and other players with diverse skills, so we're not just relying on crosses. We're also trying to break down the opponent's defense and score goals that way. We've been working on this throughout the season, and in recent matches, I've felt that goals from crosses have become a strength. I think it's good, and we're looking for a variety of flexible ways to score."

Q: "Today, nearly 60,000 spectators gathered, and you achieved a come-from-behind victory, 1-2. After competing on the big stage in Saudi Arabia, what aspects did you notice, such as the difference in toughness or growth you observed?"
Head Coach Jens Vissing: "I don't think there's been a big difference. I think they've played a great game, game by game, this season. They've played not only domestically but also internationally for the past four months. It's rare to play this many games, and I think we've seen tremendous growth during that time. The standings in the Western Conference have been decided, but I'm not satisfied. I thought we could have finished much higher. However, I think the players have shown us many great games, and I'm proud of them."
