◇ Q&A with Director Hong Myung-bo
-My thoughts on today's match draw
▶ As a result, it is regrettable that the team recorded a draw. The players did their best until the end. There were physical difficulties in the two consecutive away games. There was also a scene where he was getting tired in the second half, but he did his best until the end. It's my last A match of the year, and I'm sorry to the fans for not winning. Looking at today's game, I think there are a lot of things to improve. If I go back, I think I need to analyze the whole thing and show a good performance in the game that starts next year.
-He recorded four wins and two draws in the six games he played since taking the helm. Please point out what is good and what needs to be improved.
▶The best part of the six games was that it was a short time, but I think it got better because the players worked hard. I think it's a short time to develop a number of routes to score. On the contrary, even though there were various routes, if the opponent was a team with strong organizational power, we should have made a decision when we decided. It is a part that needs to be developed in the future.
-There is no victory against the Palestinians. Please rate the Palestinians.
▶ They did not win two games. Personally, as I was preparing for this game, I thought Palestine was a good team. I also gave it to our players. It was good to see them constantly fighting throughout the game. Our players also showed a lot of determination about it. Overall, I got the impression that it was a good team. There is no need to advise.
