Head coach Kim Pan-gon "I invited Lee Jung-hyo as a coach because he admitted that he played the most challenging, aggressive, and delicate soccer. I want to make our team and give joy to our fans. He will also play aggressive defense. He will switch to pressure strongly from the midfield. I also prepared a build-up. Each player was given a role to play. Also, because the players have good capabilities, I intend to be as aggressive as possible. Director Lee Jung-hyo came to win. Winning is important, but making a festival through a good game is also important. I will try to balance it out"I promised an aggressive game."
