After the match, coach Nagelsmann, who went to an official press conference, praised Hwang Hee-chan’s performance. Coach Nagelsmann said, “I tried shooting and I think we played a good game. If you are a director, you have to be patient. He has been away from the team for a long time. I couldn’t play for eight weeks because of the corona, and there were minor injuries at the beginning of the season, so I had less training time.”

“Now, I will take small steps and prepare to fight again. It’s time to take the first step. Today, Hwang Hee-chan did a good job and took the first step well. In fact, there was a situation in which a goal could be scored in the early half, but it was not intentionally wrong. I think there will be a scorer in the future.”
