In addition, the team sent an advance team in advance, bringing a large amount of supplies and equipment, and posting the team's philosophy and slogans in the dining room, meeting rooms and other places, and the walls were filled with highlights from last season.
On the afternoon of the 20th, 29 players including injured players Kim Min-Ja and Park Sung participated in the training. Kim Min-jae is recovering well from his toe injury and is expected to make a comeback in the upcoming league matches. Bilic said that the team chose to arrive at the tournament early, on the one hand, for the players to familiarize themselves with the environment of the field, and on the other hand, to give the players more time to reunite with their families.
Facing tough opponents in the first five rounds of the new season, Bilic admits that the players are both excited and a little nervous about the league. His goal for the team is to strive for more victories. Although the league is not a sprint, the victory in the key rounds is equivalent to grabbing the lead in the marathon, which is of great significance for the whole season.
