"I hope it's a blessing for Seoul."

This is what FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said.

FC Seoul will play a home game against Daegu FC at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 29th 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'. Seoul (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss) is ranked fourth. Daegu (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses) ranked fifth.




Seoul utilizes a 4-2-3-1 tactic. Cho Young-wook will be the front-line striker. Lucas, Lingard and Jung Seung-won will help from behind. Hwang Do-yoon and Ki Sung-yueng will play defensive midfielders. Kim Jin-soo, Kim Joo-sung, Yazan, and Choi Jun will appear in the four-back. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Kang Hyun-moo.

The snow fell ahead of the showdown. Director Kim said, `I hope it's a blessing for Seoul," he said with a smile. Seoul recently suffered from grass problems. After the home game against Gimcheon Sangmu on the 3rd, he focused on solving the grass problem for more than 25 days.

Director Kim said "When I went and stepped on it, I used to cover the grass. It's a hybrid now. I think there is a lot of artificial grass mixed to the point where it makes a squiggling sound when touched or walked.




He said "Daegu used to focus on counterattacks. Now, I'm going to do it from the front while standing on the four-back. Ramas, Yoshino comes out a lot in the form of trying to make it from the back."Ramas sends the ball toward Cesinha. I think Ramas is the point in Daegu right now. If the ball is connected to Cesinha in front of us, there comes a situation that threatens us. You need to do a little more to prevent the ball from going that way."

Against this, Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun only trained defense. I don't know how it will turn out. However, he tried to go with a sense of stability in defense. Regarding location adjustment and response methods, etc., he said.

Daegu is a 4-4-2 formation. Jung Jae-sang and Park Dae-hoon lead the attack. Cesinha, Yoshino, Ramas, and Han Jongmu are located in the midfield. Jung Woo-jae, Kaio, Park Jin-young and Hwang Jae-won are in the four-back. Oh Seung-hoon protects the goal.




Daegu has an advantage with two wins and three draws in the last five games against Seoul. Coach Park said "I think the players are excited because they are coming to Seoul. Yoshino is also excited to visit Sangam for the first time. This is the stadium that soccer players dream of.

It's a hybrid about grass. There's a crackling sound. I think there will be a slightly slippery issue. It's usually 95 to 5. It can be slippery. The players will feel as they warm up."
