On Ki Sung-yueng's performance in Pohang, "I didn't watch the game every time. I saw some form of playing against the last game. He plays a connecting role from the back and Auberdan moves in front of the attack. Technically, he is a very good player, so the quality of the pass going forward was good. But I think there were some spaces. We need to make good use of the space in the midfield," he said, expressing his intention to target Ki Sung-yueng's activity.




It is Seoul where Andersson went down to the bench today. Coach Kim Ki-dong said, `We needed players to play in the second half of the game with Moon Sun-min.
