It was a battle between a spear and a shield. Hannam University boasted 22 points and 3 runs in 5 games to the semifinals. Howon University did not concede a goal in five games except for Gyeonggi Daejeon (3-2 wins), which operated its rotation in the preliminary round. Park Kyu-sun, coach of Hannam University ahead of the final, said "Hawon University is a fairly strong defense team. If we don't score first, I think it will be a difficult game. Make good use of the set piece situation"I predicted. "Hannam University is the hottest team these days," Howon University coach Hong Gwang-cheol said. There are many video clips of the game on YouTube, so I prepared it by looking at what pattern it is. We may be dragged around, but we don't intend to focus on defense. I'll press hard from a high position, and if it's not possible, I'll try the second and third pattern."
Both coaches were wary of the tension. Until the semifinals, it was held in an auxiliary stadium with artificial turf and a soccer stadium. Taebaek Sports Complex, where the final was held, is a large natural turf field and even spectators came into the broadcast. Coach Park Kyu-sun said, `Since they are young players, they were very nervous even in the fourth final when they won four gold medals last year. That is the most concerning part. If we play soccer, we don't have any other worries. Coach Hong Gwang-cheol also stressed "One thing. It may be nervous, but don't be too conscious and I hope you enjoy it because it's a good memory as a college student."

Coach Park Kyu-sun said, "The game was not very satisfactory. After the game, he said, `I'm upset because I'm good at winning, but I don't have all the performance.' He said "You can make a mistake. However, he did not seem to be scared of the roles he had to play in his position. I think it would have been better if I played with more confidence because it's okay to lose a point", he made no secret of his greed. Coach Park wanted to help the development of Korean soccer by creating a team that plays interesting soccer. Coach Park said, `My dream is to make a team that is really good at build-up so that our Korean soccer can be enjoyed and watched by many fans. I hope the players show off a bit of themselves on the big stage of the final. Still, I'm happy that I won three consecutive games for the first time. I said this, but our players have really improved a lot. Today, I hope you will give me time to vent all the things that have been scolded by me and solve them."
