PLDC - Seoul, After defeating Esteghlal, FC Seoul's coach had some words to share with the press.

Choi Yong-Soo said, "We gained a favourable result. Just like I predicted, Esteghlal is a good team, but just being good is not enough."

He added, "I am happy with my team's performance. We had good focus, and had a plan for every second of the match."

Soo clarified, "This result is acceptable at home. But it is important to note that the second leg (in Tehran) will be much more challenging. We took a big step for advancing to the next round, but we still have lots of work do to."

He concluded, "Esteghlal was very speedy, and they have a team full of shooters. I have to think of something to stop these strong points. We must prepare for them and show a good performance. Playing in Azadi will be a good new experience for our team."
