“We understand that Gamba Osaka is a high-quality team, but Nam Dinh have trained hard and will compete with the highest spirit.

On the away team side, Gamba Osaka coach Daniel Poyatos highly appreciated his Vietnamese opponents: “Nam Dinh is an experienced team and plays well-organized football. In the first leg, although we won, Nam Dinh still created many dangerous opportunities. The whole team prepared well for victory, but we also respect our opponents.”

Midfielder Kanji Okunuki said Gamba Osaka has adapted well to the weather conditions in Vietnam and is ready for the match: “This is an important match, I will play to the best of my ability to contribute to the team. The weather is a little different, but we are ready.”
