Ahead of the showdown, coach Chung said "Home." We have to do what we have to do. The opponent is good in many ways. But there is no reason to back down. I'm going to let the ball play in the opponent's camp. Fortunately, he finished the four away games well. We have accumulated points. I came in a good mood. I said, "Let's make a good result in front of the fan."

Gimcheon utilizes a 4-4-2 formation. Yoo Kang-hyun and Lee Dong-kyung will play as two-top players. Kim Seung-seop, Seo Min-woo, Kim Bong-soo and Mo Jae-hyun will coordinate the midfield.

It was very good because we felt like we had a good influence on soccer fans and the general public. But when I got home, it was real again. I thought I had to prepare for Gimcheonjeon. If I had a little time to rest, I would still have enjoyed it. But before this game, I got a call that Min Sang-ki and others couldn't come out due to injuries, so I had to prepare againI thought'I thought'."
