Ulsan players have also renewed their commitment. Ko Seung-beom said "Recovery is important, but the first win is more important. I think one win is more important than the current conditionHe sang '1'.
Kang Sang-woo is the most important game that determines whether he will advance to the round of 16 depending on the result of the second game. The opponent is a stable team. The flow will vary depending on how confident our players are and how strong they are than their opponents. From the standpoint of the challenger, I talked with the players about playing confidently without regret.
