Interview with Lee SeDol 9Dan
- How do you feel now?
I have many chances to win the world championship, but this is only chance to win the death match. I can't image and think the other words than just be happy.
- Say to Guli 9Dan.
Regardless of the results, I really appreciate of him to have this death match with me. Without him, the death match couldn't be held and I am really thankful for him from my heart.
- Think back to the whole matches.
When we started the death match, both of us had not good condition. I think how we play from now no is very important. I think Guli 9Dan got shock with the result but he is very confidence inside of his heart, and I think he can rebound again soon. What we are going to do will make meaning to this death match
- Please comment about today's game.
It was very difficult. I think Guli 9Dan could be better in the end game. But he was short of time while I had enough time to think, this made the today's result.
- What is the most important match for you?
It is 5th match. I had 2 wins first and lost 2 games in a row. After that I had very difficult time as I lost several games in Korea. I could win the death match because I could win the bad game on 5th match.
- Do you think you have problems in your health?
I think there would be other problems for me with the fact that I came up second in both SamSung Cup and ChunLan Cup last year. I think age and health are not problem for me yet. I focus more on the death match than the world championship. Doing good in both matters is out of my control. I should prove it from now on.
- You might need rest, do you have any plans?
There is SamSung Cup on October. I hope to do my best in SamSung Cup and believe I would have good result. After SamSung Cup, I need to get rest.
- Another death match is possible?
First of all, It depends on the sponsor, and I think It would be difficult. There is no rival which people believe they are. Both players should have similar results and reputations. In a short time, I think there would be no rival like me and Guli 9Dan
- Last words to all Baduk fans
I think Ni JangHun who sponsored this death match, Guli, reporters and all Baduk fans. I think this has a lot of meaning for Korea Baduk which has been downwards recently. I hope that Korea could show different result from now on, and we will compete better against China
