Head Coach comments after the match
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, I think it was a match where the characters of the two teams really came out. We were able to control the game in the first half, but we also created chances, and Osako showed the difference and scored a goal. In the second half, we didn't have the attitude to go and get the ball, but little by little we got into our own pace and (Usami) Takashi's goal was born. I wouldn't say that Gamba dominated the game, but I think it was a match where we were able to control it. Among them, the talented Miyashiro scored a goal, but I would like to praise the players who fought until the very end, saying that GAMBA OSAKA is a family with a sense of unity. We suffered a lot last year. However, I think that we were able to put what we have built up and learned into today's match. I'm not satisfied with myself, but I think we were able to go home with a point with this result of 2-2."
Q: "I think it's good that the players showed tenacity until the end in today's heat and earned one point, but considering the race for the championship, it's a painful one point for Gamba because Machida won. How do you evaluate today's one point, Head Coach Poyatos?"
Head Coach Poyatos: "Yes, I think we just need to keep fighting. Rather than being champions, we need to focus on the next game, on each and every game. It's really difficult to win, so we need to focus on each and every game. And against Machida, I think we just need to keep up with him and keep fighting."
