In the interview with Titan Sports, Kevin Muscat used "pride" as the key word for Shanghai Port in 2024: "The past season has been full of hard work, numerous accomplishments, joyous moments, and thrilling experiences. It's not easy to sum it all up with just one word. However, if I had to choose, I would say "pride." While it might not capture everything, I truly feel proud of what we achieved last season and the milestones we reached. I’m equally proud of and grateful for the efforts and dedication of everyone around us. "
