"We also have a lot of competitive players...”

Choi Jae-young (42), head coach of Sunmoon University, expressed deep regret over the defeat against Kokushikan University (Japan).

Sunmoon University, led by head coach Choi Jae-young, lost to Kokushikan University 0-1 at the 3rd Tensso Cup Korea-Japan University Football 1st and 2nd graders' championship held at Briobecca Urayasu Stadium in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, Japan on Sunday. Sunmoon University, which represented Korea, also failed to stop its winless streak (one draw and two losses) of the championship, which started in 2023.

On the day, Sunmoon University scored one shot for 90 minutes. On the other hand, Kokushikan University fired shower shots and opened the goal through a long throw-in that it had prepared. Despite the disadvantage of an away game, Sunmoon University fought against headwinds throughout the first half. It was difficult to relieve Kokushikan University's strong pressure. Even in the second half, the mood that had subsided did not rise.

"Since it was windy in the first half of the game, even if I hit the ball, it fell to our team," Choi said after the game. "That was a difficult part. I think the players' attitude and mentality toward the game were well prepared."

Choi Jae-young, who praised Kokushikan as "a team with good energy levels," said, "I think we were able to use (high) energy levels because we were in better condition than ourselves. If we did it at home or had more time after coming to Japan, it was enough pressure to penetrate it. This is why the players seem to be disappointed."

When Choi failed to win the championship title for the first and second graders, Choi said, "I really wanted to win. They say Korean college football is difficult, but from within, some players are competitive. I wanted to win this title to create an issue."

"I want to try again," Choi Jae-young, who received the College Football Association's best leader award last year, said. "I think through such exchange matches, players can make good memories and experience and grow up. I hope there will be more exchange matches."

Sunmoon University captain Song Ho said, "I think we lost because of lack of preparation. We have to go back to Korea and make up for our shortcomings," and added, "Today's game had a lot of variables, but we had to overcome them."

Although it did not get the result, it was a match that would be blood and flesh for growing college players. Song-ho said, "The Japanese players have strength, and they had good basic postures such as fighting from the time they warmed up. I think we need to learn this attitude."

Just like the senior national team, there is talk that the gap between Korea and Japan will widen. However, Song said, "I think Japanese players are ahead of us in detail, but I don't think there is a big difference. If our players prepare well from an early age, they can catch up." 카지노사이트

At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, a team of Korean college selectors will have a regular match against the Japanese college selectors at the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in Japan for the 24th Denso Cup. "I think they will do well tomorrow. We will cheer for them," Song said.
