"Yuhei TOKUNAGA"
"I wanted to win."
　◈But I think I was able to create opportunities and show my feelings.
　Above all, we thought that in order to win, we first need to limit the number of goals conceded, and we were able to successfully defend by communicating and concentrating together.
　It was great to be able to keep a clean sheet and not concede any goals.

(There were moments when I thought about taking a shot...?)
"Yes, that's right. I also thought about shooting with my left foot... but my knee was a little sore (laughs)
so I stopped."

(About this season)
"We didn't get the results we wanted, but I hope you will do your best to achieve good results next season. I will be leaving the team, but I also have high expectations."

（What came to mind the moment the game ended?）
"I didn't have any special emotions, but watching the footage reminded me of the memories I had."

　I really only know this team.
　There are too many things that are taken for granted... It is difficult to imagine what will happen from now on.
　I am looking forward to the changing environment, but of course, I also feel a sense of loneliness.
　However, I was also strongly motivated to do my best in the next stage, as the battle will begin again from next season.
　I still have a long way to go in my soccer career, and I also have a desire to make it a good life.

　The regret in the 14 seasons in Tokyo is not being able to win the league championship.
　I definitely want to win from here on and I also want to do my best to challenge it myself."

"Naohiro ISHIKAWA Player"
"I really wanted to win... Right now, that feeling is the most important."
"I have been given the chance to play, and as I played, various desires arose within me. The feeling of wanting to shoot, wanting to score, and wanting to win became stronger and stronger."

(I don't think it was a performance that would make you retire, right?)
"(laughs) That's what I wanted to show."

　I entered the main team in the Red and White match this Wednesday. Until then, I couldn't participate in both J1 and J3 matches, and I couldn't even make it into the team. However, I think the coach "put me in" as one form he showed.
　At that time, everyone was surprised and there must have been a feeling of "Why Naoko!?"
　◈However, when I came to FC Tokyo and joined the practice, I played in a game at Komazawa after about 2-3 days. Even at that time, I was really hungry for the game. It didn't matter what others said.
　I told myself that if I show that kind of feeling, if I show it completely, it'll be fine.

　To be honest, I had some concerns and I have been observing everyone's expressions and attitudes while being away for a long time.

　There was also a feeling of what I could do when I entered there... but there must be things that I can't feel or do except for me. So I stood on the pitch with confidence and tried to give it my all.
　It is unfortunate that it did not lead to results, but I hope you can feel something.

　I was able to stand on the pitch in the best condition today.
　From the moment I woke up in the morning, I always checked my knees, waist, and calves, as well as the sensation of going up and down the stairs. But today, I played in a state where I didn't feel any pain or discomfort in my body, and it's been how many years since I felt this light...
　I felt that not only adrenaline, but also everyone's feelings, including my own, improved the situation. It was a strange sensation."

"Tokyo - Takayoshi Amma Coach's Press Conference Summary"
"Since I became the coach, I have been trying to break down the opponent while moving the ball."
On the other hand, as a result of the players' sincere efforts, we have been able to improve our attacking and defensive play since the Tosu match.
However, as seen in today's match, we were unable to score despite creating scoring opportunities. I feel that this weakness in finishing has persisted throughout the season.

The player had been lifting their spirits and building up from their daily training until the very end, and they tried their best to win until the very end.
I am grateful to all the fans, supporters, and club sponsors who have supported us for the past year.

I understood that this team was expected to perform well this season, and I truly regret that we were not able to meet those expectations.
Players, staff, and the company, we are supported by the fans and supporters, and the club sponsors.
I felt that we need to reexamine the fundamental aspects, do what we have to do, and approach the title that everyone is facing while building up step by step.
Thank you for this season.

《Q&A》
Q=What is the purpose of today's match?
"The main goal was to repay the fans and supporters who have been supporting us throughout this season by winning. Although we were not able to achieve that goal, we are proud of the attitude of not being afraid of G Osaka's counterattacks and going for the goal."
I think Nao has also prepared well for the final match and is standing on the field as a strong player. I also think Toko has given everything. I am satisfied with that.

Q=What was the reason for removing player Morishige from the bench?
"I saw him participating in the red and white game while enduring pain during training."
Today's game was not to play Nao, Tokuyama, and Morishige, but to deliver victory to those who support us. To achieve that goal, we put many offensive players on the bench.
For Morishige, he felt that the cost of pushing himself too hard and suffering a major injury here was incredibly high. I think he is the most frustrated that he couldn't stand on the pitch for the final match, so I hope he can unleash this frustration in the upcoming season."

"Summary of G Osaka Manager Kenta Hasegawa's Press Conference"
"The players fought until the very end and gave their best."
I am truly sorry that I couldn't give many victories despite the high expectations from many supporters.
The players returned to the locker room saying, "I'm sorry, we wanted to win." I am proud of the players who fought until the end and were committed to victory.
I think the past 5 years really flew by in the blink of an eye. However, the time I spent with them became an unforgettable 5 years in my life, and I am grateful to Gamba Osaka, the club, the players, and the supporters.

Q=What are your feelings now that your command at Gamba has ended?
"I wanted to win. I think there will still be various feelings after the season ends completely tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but right now that feeling is strong."

Q=What did you say at the last locker?
"I gave each player a few words of encouragement. I hope that from next season onwards, we can become a team that grows as players and competes for the championship, aiming to win titles."
