This is the words of Colombia's women's soccer A team coach, Anello Marsilia.
Colombia won 1-0 in the first friendly match against South Korea at the Southeast Asian Rugby Stadium in Incheon on the 30th. Catalina Usme's free-kick score in the first half won. He also won a penalty, but was blocked by goalkeeper Kim Min-jung.
After the game, coach Marcelia said "It was a tough game. It was complicated. I think there were two hours. In the first half, Colombia was lucky to score as it played. I attacked a lot. In the second half, South Korea needed to score, so it went to South Korea's advantage. I was lucky enough to stop the push. We didn't take advantage of a few chances. I'm glad that I came to Korea and won. We will not be satisfied and prepare hard to produce good results for the rest of the game."
The two teams will play their second match on June 2 at Mir Stadium in Yongin. "I expect it to be even harder," Marcelia said. As always, the second game was always harder after a long trip. Fatigue is accumulated, and the game has been played. It's going to be harder. Wool has to get through this. The same goes for Copa America. I'm going to do the rotation, but I think the key is to push the players a little more and overcome it."

-a general review.
▶It was a tough game. It was complicated. I think there were two hours. In the first half, Colombia was lucky to score as it played. I attacked a lot. In the second half, South Korea needed to score, so it went to South Korea's advantage. I was lucky enough to stop the push. We didn't take advantage of a few chances. I'm glad that I came to Korea and won. I will not be satisfied and prepare hard to produce good results for the rest of the game.
-How is Korea's competitiveness. Who stands out.
▶ I want to compliment you for your passion and intensity. In the second half, it was very tight, so I made a lot of difficult situations. I want to be a goalkeeper for compliments. That's amazing. We held up well even though we had such a hard time. From our point of view, the players who were replaced in the second half tried to hold their breath, but it didn't work well. These results are ultimately what Copa America needs. We have to endure and make it well. Our players want to congratulate Sarah, Wendy, etc. He went in as a substitute and was a good supporter. Thank you again for taking the victory.
-How do you target the second game against South Korea.
▶I expect it to be more difficult. As always, the second game was always harder after a long trip. Fatigue is accumulated, and the game has been played. It's going to be harder. Wool has to get through this. The same goes for Copa America. I'm going to rotate, but I think the key is to push the players a little more and overcome them.
