With Cho So-hyun and Lee Young-joo absent in this tournament, Park Ye-eun’s shoulders are expected to become heavy. He said, “Depending on the opponent, the coach envisions different tactics. I don’t know what role he will give me, but I think a player is to do his best to fit the role the coach wants. We will do our best to bring victory.”
Park Ye-eun, who plays for Brighton along with Lee Geum-min, said that his teammates are also feeling competitive after being selected for the England national team. “We also talked about where we would be playing and what our expectations were for each other ahead of the game. We used to play together and know each other’s styles, so we want to win even more.”
Regarding what Manager Bell demands, he said, “The manager always likes high-intensity and fast football. So he always tells me to play fast passes and progressive football. I always try to create what we need.”
Lastly, Park Ye-eun is looking at the World Cup stage that is approaching five months from now. Pointing out ‘goal’ as a necessary point prior to the World Cup, he promised, “I think that the World Cup must score more goals than the opponent. We will do our best to bring about good results so that our team can score goals.”
