김 감독은 “(아시안게임 당시) ‘네가 때려야지 왜 공을 주냐’고 하니 ‘나보다 좋은 위치의 선수에게 줘야 한다’고 하더라”며 “어릴 때는 천방지축 날뛰었다면 지금은 자제할 줄 안다”고 했다.
"(At the time of the Asian Games) When I asked him 'why you deliver the ball to other players instead of having to shoot the ball', 'he said, "I have to deliver the ball to the player who is in a better position than me'" adding, "He was a little crazy when he was young, but now he knows how to control himself", said coach Kim.
