"I appreciate that the old players led the young players well. Players such as Yoon Bit-garam and Ji Dong-won lead to positive effects because they set examples on the field. I appreciate it. The veteran players have set an example every time, he said.

-How do you feel about the game
▶ Thanks to the fans' support, I played my best. Thank you and our players are in a very difficult situation, but it is difficult to win at Pohang Steelyard, a difficult away game without giving up, but thank you to the players who did not give up until the end even after losing the line. He recovers well during the break and will be fierce in the remaining final round and every game, but I think we should prepare well and challenge ourselves.
-The power of the senior players shone in the crisis.
▶ Captain Lee Yong lost three consecutive games during the period when he was not able to participate in three games, but captain Lee Yong had the power to join him on the away road today. It helped the players. It is the strength for our team to develop further in the future. I will prepare well during the break and do my best every game in the more difficult final round.
-Ji Dong-won also plays a role whenever he is in trouble.
▶I appreciate the fact that the old players led the young players well. Players such as Yoon Bit-garam and Ji Dong-won lead to positive effects because they set examples on the field. I appreciate it. The senior players have set an example every time.
-Did you have any ideas when you put Arhan as a replacement in additional time.
▶He put Arhan toward the midfielder's attack, not his position as a wingback. There was no player who could change it, so I used it to write the card as much as possible.
-The young players looked desperate. The defensive part was also impressive.
▶It is too early to evaluate just one game. Lee Hyun-yong made his debut, but he did well, not like his debut. He played defense well in the 90th minute. I think there will be a synergy effect in the future. Seungbae (Jung) is an offensive resource, and there is a part that I ordered again today. If the harmony between the seniors and the young players is well harmonized, they will be able to play more competitive in the final round.
-It was the last regular league game. If you could self-evaluate the squad that made it to the top split.
▶During the 33rd round of the regular league, we were also the No. 1 candidate to go to the relegation zone before the start of the season, but it seems that the players silently prepared and pulled everything out of the stadium. As a coach, I am grateful for the players' trust and followings for advancing to the top split. Apart from the team's performance in the final round, I hope each of them will increase their value. Many of the players here are undervalued. I want to get a better evaluation.
-It could have been a four-game losing streak…
▶ It could have been a losing streak. The losing streak is on me. I trusted our players until the end, and they played hard. It can't be helped when it comes to losing after playing hard. Watching the equalizer, I thought our players were desperate.
