It's very disappointing that we had such a tough result away from home. Our supporters came all the way from Osaka, and we wanted to somehow get some points, but we ended up with zero. We're in a very tough situation with zero points after two games, but we have four games left, so we'll give it our all in those four games and give our all in our next home game against Buriram to give us hope of getting through the group stage.

Q: What was the deciding factor in this match?
A: The biggest thing was conceding a goal in the eighth minute. I think that had a big impact on the result.

Q: You started with LINS Lima De Brito in the starting line-up and had Ojesok at full-back. Do you feel it's difficult to keep fighting while changing players?
A: It's the beginning of the season, so we don't know which formation is best, so we need to use various players and see what works best. It's a game two days after the previous game, and we need to fight as a team, so rather than it being about the new players, we conceded a goal in the eighth minute of the game, which put Jonan in the position where they could fight the most, and that made it a difficult game.

Q: Having played two ACL matches and watching the Xerox match, it seems like Gamba's true strength is still not apparent. Is this because of the cold weather, or is it because it's still early in the season and the players' condition isn't up to par?
A: The cold weather doesn't really matter. It may be because it's early in the season, but we need to improve our combinations. We need to think about how to break down opponents who are playing defensively, and if we don't improve our attacking skills, we won't be able to win, so we need to improve even more.

Q The league is a long battle, but two ACL games have been played and there are four remaining. Do you think it is possible to bounce back now?
A I think it is quite possible.

Q: What is your impression of Seongnam? What kind of team do you think they are?
A: This time, they were determined to win, and I got the impression that they were fighting hard for the ball. Until the last match in Buriram, I had the impression that they were just passing the ball around, but today, although I think it was because they scored first, they made a proper block and I think they are a really great team.
