Coach Masatada Ishii:
"We came here to get 3 points. We want to secure the 3 points and return to Japan. We reconfirmed what we've been working on in training. In attack, we need to exploit the space behind the opponent's defense. In defense, we need to transition quickly and actively win the ball back, otherwise, we cannot win against the opponent. Sun-Tae hasn't been with the team for long, but he's a key player in defense. He's a reliable player, so I'm looking forward to his performance. The reason I didn't play him in the Jubilo Iwata match was because we had a good game against Vegalta Sendai in the previous match. We wanted to have a good game at home against Jubilo Iwata as well, so I didn't change the lineup and played Sogahata."
Kwoun Sun-Tae:
"It's been a long time since I played in Ulsan, but since we're here, we want to get 3 points. I understand the importance of the ACL tournament, so I want to do my best with the players and coach for a victory. My individual performance isn't bad, but the match results haven't been what we hoped for. I believe if we keep working hard, we'll get the results we want. We want to work hard together as a team to win the championship."
Coach Kim Do-hoon:
"There are two matches left in the ACL, but the final match is irrelevant right now. I believe if we play our game, we'll get good results. We lost 0-5 in the league, so we need to fix what wasn't good. We want to achieve results to change this bad atmosphere. Antlers' two strikers will try to exploit the space behind our defense and use combinations. If we can prevent that, I think we can have a good game."
Mislav Oršić:
"There are two matches left, and we want to win to advance to the knockout stage. There are good times and bad times in football. We can't always have a good game, so we want to work hard to get good results."
The official training session began at 4 PM. The pitch and viewing environment were well-prepared at the stadium, which also hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup. For tomorrow's match, only the first 15 minutes were open to the media, and the players focused on training solely for victory.
