Comment from Fujii Hideto
In the previous match, we were not able to take control throughout the entire game, so in this match, we aimed to take control firmly and overwhelm our opponents.
Although we were pushed back at times by the opponent’s build-up-focused attacks, we were able to take the lead with an indirect free kick in the first half.
In the second half, the opponent’s momentum was pushed from the beginning, and the defense in front of the goal became loose, and we conceded a goal. After that, the defense was loose and we conceded a goal from a cross.
Just as we were being overtaken, I was able to return from injury and play in the game for the first time in about six months.
I went into the match with the determination to help my team win and to shake up the opponents.
However, we made many mistakes and were unable to create many chances, so we ended up losing.
I was able to return thanks to the support of many people, so I wanted to turn the tide and repay them with my play, but I wasn’t able to.
I made many technical and judgmental mistakes in today’s match, so I want to change my mindset and practice more in my daily practice.
In order to increase my playing time, I want to cherish each and every day and develop the strength to help my team win.
I don’t think we played very well as a team, so I would like to use today’s game to overwhelm our opponents and win the next match.
Comment from Kaneko Takuto
We went into this match with the goal of winning so that we could continue our winning streak from the previous match.
In the first half, we were able to score goals from the opponent’s mistakes and I think we were able to continue playing in our own style for much of the game.
We were able to communicate together and respond when the opponent was building up their play.
In the second half, it became more of a reaction rather than an action from our side.
From there, the game progressed at the opponents’ pace and, just like in the previous match, we ended up conceding goals in the second half.
This is an issue for me and for the team. We were weak on the ball and we conceded goals, which led to us being overtaken.
We had some chances from set plays, but we couldn’t score.
Personally, I think I was able to respond calmly to the opponents’ long balls.
We didn’t play many forward plays in the build-up, especially in the second half, and I think that’s something we need to work on.
Also, there were times when I wasn’t able to take the necessary steps to counter the opponent’s dribbles, so I would like to improve that.
I think our next match against Sanga will be a difficult one, but we will prepare well, improve our weaknesses, and take on the challenge, so please support us.
Thank you for your warm support for GAMBA OSAKA Junior Youth today.
