Head Coach Crupi
"I have to say that we're not getting results and our flow is very bad, but I don't think there was any reason why one or two players were neglecting their roles in today's loss. The players showed that they were all giving it their all until the end. But in football, you can still lose. However, we can't accept the losing streak since the restart, so we all need to take some kind of action and change what needs to be changed in order to rebuild the team. Looking back at the game, I don't think there was anything that could be said to be deserving of victory on either side. It was a really evenly matched game, and the players ran until the end. That's what I think the game was like."

Q. "I think Hwang Ui-jo's presence was huge in today's comeback in the second half, including his goal, but you said the other day that his absence from the Korean national team at the Asian Games was not a big problem. I think that Ui-jo's absence will be a blow in the future, but what will you do about that, including that?"

Head Coach Crupi
"Regarding Ui-jo, which I spoke about the other day, I don't think there is a big difference in quality between Ui-jo and other players. However, Ui-jo has produced far more results than other players. I think there is an element of him leaving numbers behind. I don't think that other players would be any less skilled in quality if they were to replace him, so I think that it is natural to expect Gamba players to produce results and score goals just like Ui-jo, and that is what I would like to ask of them."
