Head Coach JENS WISSING said, "We're in the round of 16, and I think both teams played a good game. We didn't start well in the first half, but I think we gradually improved. We started the second half well and scored the opening goal, and then Pohang made good attacks to try and catch up, which made it difficult for us. Although it ended in a draw, I think we put on a very intense game."

Q: This is your first tournament in Asia. Was there any difference from the J.League?
Head Coach JENS WISSING : "This is my first Asian tournament. I think the ACL allowed us to show a lot of individual strength in an international match. You can see that especially when you look at the opposing FW and other big players. I haven't seen a clear difference yet, but I've only just finished one J.League match and one ACL2 match. So I think I'll be able to see the difference as I gain more match experience, but I think I was able to see the individual strength."

Q: "You will be returning to Osaka for the second leg match. How will you prepare for it?"
Head Coach JENS WISSING said, "First of all, I think the most important thing after the match is recovery. First of all, when I return to Osaka, a J.League match awaits, so I need to prepare for that. Also, when the second leg match comes around, I'll start preparing for that match."

Q: Was there any player who made an impression on you when you played against Pohang?
Head Coach JENS WISSING said, "I won't name one player in particular, but we had big players up front and quality wingers who created a lot of dangerous opportunities with crosses. That's what made the biggest impression on me."
