Kungkuan expressed gratitude for technological advancements that kept him informed about the team's progress while he was away. He specifically commended teammates Guo Tian-xin and Jiang Shao-hong for their efforts in upholding team traditions and spirit during his absence.

We had this habit in 2023, and Tian-xin and Shao-hong have done a great job, not letting the team fall apart. We have 'little captains' in our team, so it's not always just me. When they have the opportunity to speak up, they aren't shy and have helped the team grow a lot.

He elaborated on the team's practice of forming a circle after games for encouragement, a tradition he helped establish. Kungkuan noted that his teammates, particularly Guo and Jiang, have effectively taken on leadership roles, ensuring the team's continued growth. "We have 'little captains' in our team, so it's not always just me. When they have the opportunity to speak up, they aren't shy and have helped the team grow a lot," he said.

Kungkuan emphasized the importance of this team-building ritual, especially in managing player psychology. "Everyone is used to it, and they encourage each other even after a loss, not dwelling on mistakes. The most tiring thing for a player is overthinking. Having this opportunity to talk things through together is great," he added.
