South Korea are aiming to rebound from a disappointing World Cup campaign last year in which they were eliminated from the group stages having taken just one point.
That poor showing led to the resignation of Hong Myung-bo and the subsequent appoint of Stielike in September.
"We want to bring this team not only to the TV at home, we want to bring this team into the heart," he said.
"You can only go into the heart with good football. This is what we want. We want to play good football, with good quality, but at the end we need good results."
"I think everyone knows what we have to do in this competition and especially after the performance in the World Cup," he said. "We want to bring confidence in the team and show the Koreans we are able to become a champion in Asia.
"At the moment we can't say we are the best team in Asia, based on results.
"We've never won the Asian Cup. If we perform to 100 per cent of our ability we have enough to stay in the championship."
