Gangwon won 1-0 in Jeonbuk in the fourth round of the K League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 9th thanks to Kim Kyung-min's theater goal after Gabriel's storm and wind in the second half. Gangwon's only effective shot led to the winning goal. Gangwon ranked fifth in the league with five consecutive wins against Jeonbuk after overcoming Jeonbuk's wave offensive with nine shots and four effective shots.After the victory, Lee Kwang-yeon's good defense shone. Lee Kwang-yeon blocked a series of fatal chances after 30 minutes of the second half when Jeonbuk's offensive was strong. Lee Young-jae's left foot thundershoot in the 30th minute of the second half and Kim Jin-kyu's goal shot in the 35th minute of the second half were blocked one after another. It was a super save. Coach Chung Kyung-ho said in an official press conference after the game that `he saved the team with great super saves. Lee Kwang-yeon's saving ability is one of the best in the league, and he is working harder in terms of his build-up ability. If this part is filled, he will become the league's top goalkeeper." "Without Lee Kwang-yeon's good defense, there would have been no victory today. I want to give you a big compliment," he said with a smile.

▶Overall, I said let's make it difficult through the build-up as prepared, and let's do the kill pass in the back space, but the possession and positioning were good, but I was frustrated that the kill pass didn't come out. I will make it step by step from now on. In the second half, he tended to give up the lead, but he was very keen on the players' scoreless points and scored a chance to win. We haven't shown our performance yet. Because Gangwon FC did well last year, fans' eye level was raised and I know that the cheering people are disappointed. I think there is a lack of it. It is a step-by-step stage of challenge, development, and growth. Please wait a little bit. I will try to make an advanced Gangwon FC by taking 'Winning Mentality' while working with the players on my own.
-In the second half of the year, Hong Chul was deployed instead of Lee Sang-hun to operate the five-back, but was it an operation to keep one point.
▶Lee Sang-heon was tired, and only four people could replace the 22-year-old card using only Shin Min-ha. Hong Cheol was added to make it five back, but he tried to make the opponent difficult by raising the wingback. It's low when you're defensive. Soccer is a response according to the situation, but at that time, the flow passed to Jeonbuk and it was a response. I think it was a good response.
-I can't help but praise Gabriel for his play.
▶I put it in the second half to play the role of a solver, but the performance will not be satisfactory on my own. He made a threatening scene of scoring, and I think that will serve as an opportunity to have confidence and continue to operate organically with my colleagues. It is a game where Gabriel is more expected in the future.
-It has won five consecutive games against Jeonbuk. Why are you strong against Jeonbuk?
▶In fact, when I came to Jeonju Castle in the past, I was from Jeonbuk Hyundai, but when I came to Jeonju Castle, I felt intimidated. There was an overwhelming atmosphere in the fight. That atmosphere has disappeared, and we have recently found confidence because we have an image that we have never lost to Jeonbuk Hyundai and that our performance itself has been much better. Not because it was Jeonbuk, but to make sure to take the points. It is important to go scoreless with a winning mentality without collapsing at the beginning of the season. I will play well against all teams.
-About Lee Kwang Yeon's Super Save
▶He saved the team with a great super save. Lee Kwang-yeon's saving ability is one of the best in the league. I'm working harder on my build-up abilities. If this part is filled, he will be the league's top goalkeeper. Without Lee Kwang-yeon's good defense, there would have been no victory today. I want to give you a big compliment.
-It's cruising early in the league.
▶Last year, Kangwon FC received the highest record since its foundation and the runner-up, and paid back the fans greatly. The fans have high expectations. I won, but I'm going to crave more performance. You'd like to do better. I also have high expectations. be well aware of. I will try harder to satisfy my fans. The important thing is to go without losing, but just like last year's game, Yang Min-hyuk's Hwang Moon-ki's Yago, I have to make my own efforts to make other players burst out this year, and all players should develop further. That way, we will be able to move forward as a good team and a team with colors.
