Hwang\'s thoughts on various options could not be heard right after the game. Hwang was sent off for protesting during the extra time, so he could not attend the press conference after the game. At that time, senior coach Myung Jae-yong had a press conference instead.

Coach Hwang was asked a lot of questions about the game in front of reporters at the departure hall of Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 around 1 p.m. on Tuesday. The use of three-back was one of them. "I had a problem with central defense. I inevitably switched to three-back. I decided that three-back would be the best resource for me even if I pass the quarterfinals," Hwang said. "However, I didn\'t just want to get off and defend. I tried to put pressure on him in the midfield, but it wasn\'t smooth. It was my judgment entirely, but there were mistakes. I tried to approach it in the second half in a different way, but the game model was not smooth due to various variables such as ejection and injury," Hwang said.

At the same time, he was asked why he didn\'t select more central defenders. At this year\'s event, Hwang suffered from a shortage of professional center backs. Only three professional center backs were Lee Jae-won (Cheonan City), Byun Jun-su (Gwangju FC) and Seo Myeong-gwan (Bucheon FC). In addition, even the signatories were out due to hamstring injury just ahead of the quarterfinals.

"Players like Kim Dong-jin and Choi Kang-min have already decided in advance in case they are rejected (from overseas leagues)," Hwang said, adding, "There are talks about why they chose Kim Dong-jin instead of selecting the central defense. To explain, there are no players in the central defense right now. I thought it was right to turn the existing players to the center and reinforce midfield."

Lee Young-joon, who scored three goals in two matches, was excluded because of his physical condition. "We don\'t make decisions that easily. Even if we decide on a single player, we will discuss it overnight. We have to be respected," Hwang said. "Lee had sports hernia. The reason is overwork. He didn\'t play much in the K-League. 65 minutes is the maximum. That\'s why I had to decide when to start the game, and I made my judgment in the latter half."
