After the 3-1 loss to Manchester City, K League All-Star player Ki Sung-yueng was interviewed by Korean media.

On the match

"This was the hottest day I've ever played in. I sweated a lot, and I'm sure the Manchester City players found it tough as well. I feel like the climate has really changed; it wasn't this hot before. The temperature today was just too high."

On Lee Kang-in

"Fans have high expectations for him. He grew up in Spain, so it will be easy for him to adapt to the environment there. I also understand that he received a good offer after his transfer. Even without extra advice from me, Kang-in himself has enough ability. If I have the chance, I'd like to go to Sangam and cheer for him."

On Manchester City

"Manchester City is still one of the top teams in the world. When I played in England, they were always a tough opponent. Although this was a preseason match, the players still fully demonstrated their strength."

"For our players, being able to personally experience the level of world-class players is a valuable experience that will be very helpful to K League players."

"This time, I prepared for this match with former national teammates, including Jeonbuk Hyundai's Seung-Woo and others. We ate, lived, and trained together for two days, and we communicated a lot. I also got to hear the thoughts of K League players, which was personally very meaningful to me."

On Manchester City midfielder Rodri

"I really wanted to meet Rodri, who plays the same position as me. He is one of the world's top midfielders, and his performance on the field is excellent. It would have been great if we could have played against each other."

On young player Son Jung-beom

"Even among players of the same age, I believe he can become a pivotal midfielder in Korean football in the future. I believe he gained a lot of insights from today's match. He shouldn't be satisfied with just the K League; he needs to continuously strive for a higher level. I hope this experience can greatly inspire young players and the entire K League."
