It was the opening game, so I had plenty of time to prepare.
Director Jang Ji-yeon "We prepared three weeks for the road construction exhibition. Only the road works were sold. We've prepared thoroughly for both defense and blocking formations" he said.
"No matter how much we prepare, the players have to solve it on the court, but they did a good job. There was a crisis due to its own mistakes, but there was a good result because it overcame it."
