"Colombian Express" Huiz (30, FC Seoul) received "sudden" comfort from "Captain" Kim Jin-soo (34).

Seoul lost 0-1 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the "2025-2026 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE)" against Vissel Kobe at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 4th.

Seoul, which gave up the first game, is in a difficult position to reach the quarterfinals only if it wins the second game away on the 10th. Seoul, which lost 0-2 to Kobe in the away game of the league stage on the 10th of last month, sought to avenge itself at home, but failed to score in both games, leaving a regret.

On that day, Huiz was put in place of Klimala in the 16th minute of the second half when trailing 0-1. Two minutes later, Hwang Do-yoon's shot hit Hamasaki's hand and the PK was declared after VAR. Whoise, who played in four official games in the Seoul uniform this year but has yet to score a goal, claimed to kick the PK himself.

But the result was bad. Huiz's right foot shot as a kicker was too weak, and Kobe's goalkeeper easily caught it. Immediately after the miss, Huiz frowned a little and expressed regret.

PK missed out, but after the Whois, Seoul's offense revived and took the lead. However, the equalizer did not break out in the end. The game ended 0-1, making Who's miss all the more regrettable.

After the game, Huiz's face was also full of regrets when he met in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone). "I said with confidence that I would kick in the PK situation. "I kicked it the way I always kicked it, but it's completely my responsibility to miss it," he said. "I apologized to my colleagues for fighting hard for 90 minutes in the locker room."

He continued, "I will not be daunted by the disappointment and will fight and play more for my colleagues. We will prepare more thoroughly than ever before so that we can contribute to the team," he said.

It was the warm fellowship of "captain" Kim Jin-soo that changed the atmosphere while Whoise was continuing the interview with a heavy expression, blaming himself somewhat for the missed PK. Kim Jin-soo, who was passing through the mixed zone, approached and put his arms around Whois and encouraged him, "It's okay, it's okay!"

The sudden appearance of the captain and warm support caused laughter among the reporters. A pale smile spread to Huiz's hardened face.

Whoise came from behind in the second game and vowed to advance to the quarterfinals. "I think we did better than Kobe," he said. He gave up the first goal unfortunately in the first half, but as a team, he developed the attack well and created many chances," he said, positively evaluating his performance.

"In the locker room, the players said, 'We can do it enough. Let's win the Kobe away game and advance to the quarterfinals,' he added.

He also showed a firm stance on the burden of scoring. In response to coach Kim Ki-dong's encouragement, "I hope you don't feel impatient about scoring," Huiz said, "Thank you to the coach for saying that. I believe that I am a professional player and act, and I will do my best on the ground," he said.

The team takes precedence over personal attack points, he said, adding, "As I came to a big club called Seoul, if I devote myself to the club, the attack points will naturally follow."

Whoise, who wore a Seongnam FC uniform in 2024, played for two seasons in the K League 2 stage. Wearing a Seoul uniform this season, he is experiencing K League 1 and ACLE anew. When asked about the difference from the K League 2 stage, he said, "There is a slight difference, but it is more important that our team prepares for victory. If you prepare well and try to win every game, the results will follow," he said with strength.
