Head Coach Poyatos: "In a word, I think it was a very disappointing game. I think we were able to control the game against Kobe, and although they have talent and are fierce in their duels, I think our team was able to counter that and show a strong attitude. We created plenty of chances to take the lead, and I think our game plan was executed well. They had a chance to win the league, and I think we were able to counter that and inflict damage on them. Their goal was a great goal, and I think it was something that was out of our control. The players did a good job, created a good atmosphere, and worked together with the fans to create a great game, and I think everyone enjoyed today's game."

Q: "It was a good game. Yesterday, the Head Coach said that if everyone can show their individuality and not give up, they can do well against any opponent. Despite the tight schedule, I think the team was able to hold their own in duels and showed their mental strength in the game. What do you think?"
Head Coach Poyatos said, "When I took over, I believe the team was not capable of playing matches like this. We were in a time of sadness for everyone, and we had a hard time competing in matches like this, but I believe we have now been reborn as a different team, and what we have all built together has made us a team that can compete well on any pitch, against any opponent."

Q: Regarding MITO, I think he performed extremely well, keeping the ball even in tight spaces. What is your assessment of him?
Head Coach Poyatos said, "I'm pleased with his performance today. I felt he could do more and improve, and I think that definitely came out. Today he helped the team with his balance and his ability to switch gears. I think he did a great job, and I'll continue to support and cheer him on. I think he's a player who will be a central figure in Gamba's future."

Q: "Please give us your evaluation of Okunotsu, who produced results immediately after being introduced."
Head Coach Poyatos said, "I knew Kanji (Okuno) would do something like this. As I said in the flash interview, I think he was unlucky this season with repeated injuries that prevented him from playing consistently. The same can be said for WELTON, but the two of them have had a hard time playing consecutively. However, he showed his strength today, and he is a player I want to continue to support, and I think his challenging spirit in daily matches has brought joy to everyone."
