Coach Kim said at the official press conference after the game, "I was worried about injuries not only in the K-League but also in the ACL.

Nevertheless, I showed a good performance in today's game."

Despite the team's overwhelming win over last year's ACL champion Urawa, he encouraged the players, saying, "It was disappointing that we lacked decision-making power when we could have scored additional goals.

I will continue to play well with the players in both the K-League and ACL."

Coach Kim said about the winning factors, “Urawa’s style is very similar to ours.

“Even during our own practice game, we thought about where Urawa’s loopholes might be,” he said.

“We tightened up our central defense in preparation for short passes and prepared a counterattack.”

He continued, “If we counterattack using Kim In-seong’s speed, the opponent will be very confused.”

I thought it was.

“We attacked well when the opponent increased their side defense resources and gave us space,” he added.

Kim In-seong, who also attended the press conference, said, "We always had difficult matches in Japan, but I am happy that we got a good result today."

Kim In-seong took the field in place of Jeong Jae-hee in the 30th minute of the first half, and contributed to the team's victory by assisting Ko Young-jun's additional goal in the 4th minute of the second half.

Kim In-seong emphasized, “Important games continue to take place in Korea,” and “By winning today’s game, I gained the strength to play the important games in the future more easily.”
