Head Coach Crupi: "Today's result was very good, but I still need to assess the strength of the players, and I think the team is still lacking in balance. GAMBA OSAKA has not won an official match for a long time, so this victory will definitely bring confidence, but I think there are still many areas on the pitch where we need to improve."

Q: "I think that both the offense and defense were working very well until we scored the opening goal, but the Head Coach said that the balance is still off. I think there were many things that went well, so could you tell us what they were?"
Head Coach Crupi: "If I had to pick out something positive, it would be that we created a lot of chances. And we scored four goals. In that sense, I think we could say that our finishing was accurate. However, I would like to reiterate that in terms of the overall balance of the team, we are still far from where we should be."

Q: Keito NAKAMURA scored a goal. What is your assessment of him and what issues does the Head Coach want him to address?
Head Coach Crupi: "If we evaluate his high level of ability, I think it's because he has the potential to finish. Although he is only 17 years old, I think he is the best shooter on the team and the strongest shooter. He started in a game the other day, but I hope he continues to play and shows good finishing skills like he did in today's game. If I were to point out areas he needs to improve in the future, he is still young, so I think he has room to grow in all areas."
