"I think you're misunderstanding something. It's okay because you're not going to watch it anyway."

Gwangju FC head coach Lee Jung-hyo responded to the question about his altercation with Jorge Jesus Al Hilal shortly after his crushing defeat at Al Hilal.

Gwangju suffered a 0-7 defeat in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2024-2025 season against Al Hilal at 1:30 a.m. on the 26th (Korea time) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Gwangju gave up the first goal to Sergei Milinkovic Savic in the 6th minute of the first half, then dedicated back-to-back goals to Marcos Leonardo in the 25th minute of the first half and Salem al-Dosari in the 33rd minute of the first half, falling behind 0-3 in the first half alone, and losing 0-7 in the second half to Aleksandr Mitrovic, Malkong, Nasser al-Dosari and Abdullah al-Hamdan. The possession rate was 38 to 62 and the number of shots was 4 to 20.

However, immediately after the match, the game was more controversial than the defeat of the Portuguese coach 'Winning'Hesus' non-manner. The camera caught him arguing against Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo's handshake request.

Lee approached Jesus first and asked him to shake his hand, but Jesus put his right hand in front of his mouth and made a gesture of crouching and opening. Pointing to director Lee, I repeated this movement, but depending on the view, it was a gesture that could be interpreted as mockery of 'You talk too much'.

There is a possibility that Lee's pre-match comments or articles through media may have offended him. In a pregame press conference, Lee said, `Tell Al-Hilal to dig into our weaknesses. We will attack the opponent's weaknesses with what we are good at. I think it's either going to be (Al-Hilal) or (Al-Hilal) developmentHe declared a bold challenge, saying "We are better at organizing." Or, coach Lee's unique active instructions or gestures in the technical zone during the game could have been uncomfortable. In any case, after a seven-goal victory, the veteran coach Baek Chun-jang's refusal to shake hands and non-manner behavior were inappropriate. Asked about the scene in a post-match interview, Lee said "I don't know exactly, but Jesus seemed to misunderstand something. But I don't want to care much. It's okay because I'm not going to watch it anyway."
