FRANCE 98 – Netherrlands-Korea republic – Y.S. Choi: “The Netherlands team were very strong”
Yong Soo CHOI (10), Captain:
“We did our best, but the NETHERLANDS (Group E) team were very strong. The two goals in the 1st Half proved fatal to the teams morale. We will just do our best for the next match against BELGIUM (Group E).”
Jong Soo KO (14):
“We had a difficult match against a well organised NETHERLANDS team. I really appreciated the atmosphere in the stadium. MARSEILLE reminds me of my home town which is also a port. As we haven’t won any matches in this World Cup, we’ll do our best to win our next match.”
Dong Gook LEE (21):
“The NETHERLANDS (Group E) team is very strong, and they destabilised us by scoring two goals in the 1st Half.”
Dong Gook LEE comments on his first team selection: “I wasn’t worried or under pressure but when I came on the pitch, my team was losing. I did my best to make life difficult for the other side.”
