They have been playing three consecutive games every three to four days, moving to Malaysia with difficulty. In the meantime, I don't think anything that hasn't been fair on the field should happen," Park Tae-ha said in a post-match press conference, expressing his thoughts on the nuisance behavior of some Johor fans. 카지노사이트
"I tried to bring good results, but I was disappointed in the physical aspect that I was concerned about. I lost because I missed decisive opportunities to score more. I expected the opponent to put strong pressure on me at home. I think there is a loss in the part where I could not continue to have the flow of the game due to various mistakes when I was in a situation where I was able to play with enough excitement. The players did their best until the end," he said.
Regarding the upset loss, he said, "All players in the field should join and prepare for the defense. I had a good chance when I was leading 1-0, but I think I lost it after missing it. One of the defenders said, "I haven't played for a long time due to injury, and I think this has caused some systematic problems. I think it will be supplemented in the future."
