-How do you feel about winning

▶It was the best first half. It was the best game of the season. Two goals were scored in a good performance. In the second half, he got off, and Gangwon was pushed back as it changed its tactics. Nevertheless, I was able to score additional points, but I think today was a game where three points were important.



-a visit to Korea with one's daughter and family

▶My daughter liked Korea very much. On the day I went, I actually said that I wanted to stay in Korea because I didn't want to go back. It is true that there is a bit of a difficult part because it is the first time I have been away from my family for such a long time. The last time I saw my daughter was in March. I had a really good experience with my daughter this time, and I had a really good time as she came to a new country and experienced a new culture. I had a really good impression of Korea, but I had to go back because of my schedule to enter school. I don't know when I can see it again, but I want to see it again as soon as possible.



-Seoul Has Changed in the Second Half

▶To tell you the two biggest things, I think there is a little difference in the mental part of individual players, team culture and team spirit. To be honest, I felt a little unorganized at the beginning of the season. It seems that there was no clear understanding of where the players wanted to go and what kind of soccer they played. In this situation, I had a very difficult time because I lost consecutively at home. That difficult start also helped the team.



With the fans overcoming the difficult times, and with new players joining, it is now a little clearer for all the players what we should achieve and what kind of soccer we should play. The goal has also become clear. I can clearly see the way forward, and now the team seems to be in order. I really want to say thank you again to the fans who endured the hard time together. Now I have confidence that I can win. Inside the team, everyone is starting to believe in their abilities, and they have definitely gained confidence. I think it's time to move on to achieve a big step.

-Big step means winning?

▶To be honest, I was talking with the players. I've talked about how far I can go, whether I can win or whether I should aim for TOP4, and whether I should set my goal as a top split. To be honest, only recently have I started looking at the K-League rankings. It wasn't just in the K-League. Even when I was in England, I always had a habit of checking the rankings at the end of the season. There seems to be a good chance of winning now.

As the director said, today was a really important moment. As I overcome this time, I think I have a good chance of winning. However, what I want to tell the players is that it seems more important to continue to win every game as it is now, rather than looking at the championship. What is clear is that there seems to be a possibility that we can bring the title as we win today's game.

-Woo Youngwoo, get ready for the ceremony

▶I kept looking at SNS and came to see about Korean dramas. I liked the rhythm so much that I was hooked. While preparing for today's game for a long time, he said that if (Kang) Joo-hyuk and one of them scores a goal, let's do Woo Young-woo's ceremony. Fortunately, I scored another goal and was able to do it.
