Then "There were times when the results were not always good or bad while playing for the national team. However, we don't end with one game, but we have a goal that we have to achieve.

◇ Q&A with Seol Young-woo
-I went to sleep out after the war in Oman. I was called back. What's the mood of the team?
▶In fact, it is true that it is worse than when we won. Still, we're focusing on the next game because it doesn't end with that game, so the players have rested well and gathered again.
-Personally, it's a very tight schedule
▶ Immediately after I went to the training center, I went during the season, so it was very difficult. It's perfectly up now. When I look back on the last three years, there have been more difficult seasons than this season, so I don't feel any physical pressure at all.
-He's in good form this season
▶In fact, I'm going out a lot aggressively because my team continues to perform much better than other teams. As a result, I think I was able to do more in the point area than when I played in the K-League. I think it goes in well if you just kick it.
-Isn't it hard to alternate between left and right?
▶I don't think there's any difficulty because it's what I've been doing in Korea.
-The back is strong with Jordan's al-Tamari
▶I've defended my sweatshirt in the Asian Cup, but he's a very good player. At that time, I thought it was very difficult to stop. I think I know more about the player than then. Not only me, but all the players, I think we need to prepare well and play well because we all know that the back four line has many good strikers in the opponent.
-I had a hard time with grass in Oman
▶First of all, it was very hard. I've just left the K-League, and I haven't played in Europe for a long time, but I was a little scared that I might get hurt because I played in Europe.
-Does it affect the play?
▶If we don't have a good ground condition in receiving the ball, of course, there are a lot of irregular boundaries, so it's hard to predict as a player and there seem to be a lot of situations like that.
-There has been negative public opinion since the war against Oman. What advice did the coach or senior players give about this?
▶While playing for the national team, the results were not always good, but there were times when they were bad. However, we don't end with one game, but we have a goal that we have to achieve. We think there is now the most important game in the next game, so I don't think there is any difficulty in getting to the goal we want when we catch that game. All the players had to do was just prepare well for the next game.
-How are you going to solve the war in Jordan?
▶I don't have that much time, but I still have some time left. Now that we're all together today, we'll have to recover well.We also have a meeting with the coaching staff, so we will do it step by step in such an analysis. And I don't need anything else and I think the next game should bring the result unconditionally, so I will focus on bringing the result.
-Lee Kang-in was injured. Did you talk about anything else?
▶We broke up in the locker room right after the game, so I couldn't meet and talk. I contacted him afterwards. I asked if it was okay, but Kangin said it was okay. I was going to the hospital the next day.They said the results were good, too. I think it's okay.
-Fullbacks fluctuate the most in this national team.
▶I don't have that much experience in the national team, but in the case of (Lee) Tae-seok, who played with me last time, it's almost the first time he's playing in the game than me, so I told him something I can do. In that experience, (Jo) Yoo-min and (Kwon) Kyung-won have much more experience than me, so we talked a lot about our backpaw before the game.
