Gyeongnam FC's movement is unusual.
Gyeongnam FC, led by head coach Lee Eul-yong, won a 3-0 home game against Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju at Changwon Football Center on March 29. Gyeongnam tied for fifth with the Jeonnam Dragons with two wins, two draws and one loss (8 points).
We've just played five games, but it's a very different atmosphere than expected. South Gyeongsang Province had its worst time last year. He accumulated 33 points (6 wins, 15 draws and 15 losses) in 36 regular league games, ranking 12th among 13 teams. During the season, I experienced a chaotic situation where the coach stepped down. Gyeongnam took the helm of coach Lee ahead of this season. It was half expectation and half concern. Lee had a reputation as a midfielder representing South Korea when he was active. He scored three goals in 51 A matches. However, this was the first time that he was a professional coach. Coach Lee has experienced acting as a coach at FC Seoul in the past, but this time he took the professional baton for the first time.
I opened the lid. Gyeongnam lost to Incheon United 0-2 in the opening match. He lost by conceding a goal to his opponent at the end of the game. The first loss became medicine. South Gyeongsang Province won its first victory against Busan I'Park in the `Nakdong River Derby.' Since then, he has continued his unbeaten streak against Hwaseong FC (1-1 draw) and Jeonnam (2-2 draw). Gyeongnam continued its atmosphere by winning a great victory against Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju in 'Dark Horse'.

There is something to be noted. It's a sense of stability. Gyeongnam seemed to be shaken by losing points against Hwaseong-Jeonnam earlier. However, he completed 'Clean Sheet' against Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province. Moreover, three people, including Seol Hyung-jin, Lee Kang-hee, and Lee Jung-min, took turns watching 'Taste of Goal'. Lee Kang-hee scored her first goal since her professional debut, and Lee Jung-min scored her first goal on the transfer. South Gyeongsang showed perfect performance in offense and defense.
Manager Lee said "The team seems to be getting better little by little. He is fulfilling the coaching staff's tactical needs well. Particular emphasis was placed on adjusting the airlift interval, which is doing well. There is no foreign player scoring yet, but he is doing his part well. If you adjust to the weather, you will be better."
Director Lee remains vigilant even amid the undefeated march. He said "April is the first 'Fractionary'" Gyeongnam will play Suwon Samsung (6th), Seongnam FC (12th), Gimpo FC (20th) and Seoul E-Land (26th). He added "I'm grateful that the players are following me well. I will try to play a game that can be won without injury."
