"In a way, there are three captains. Two sergeant, one corporal. I'm a corporal"

Captain Lee Chang-yong, who led FC Anyang's first home victory in the K League 1, attributed the driving force of the tightly united team to his seniors. Anyang won 2-0 in the seventh round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Anyang Sports Complex on the 6th. A home win that I've dreamed of ever since I got promoted. After three challenges, Anyang was able to laugh.

Lee Chang-yong also cheered for the victory on the ground. Lee Chang-yong said, `There was no home win in K League 1 this season, but it was the most rewarding and happy time to give the fans a victory," he said.




Lee Chang-yong, who has been active in Anyang's captain's armband since last season, is the pillar of Anyang's defense this season as well. From the opening game to the seventh round, he is starting every game. In the process of Anyang's transition from four-back to three-back, Lee Chang-yong remained in place. Lee Chang-yong said, "(I) lack in this regard, but I think the director gives me a lot of opportunities. They give us a high price for keeping our balance and coping with shaking. It is difficult because the role changes when it is transformed from four-back to three-back. Nevertheless, the strategy of players covering each other's mistakes well was effective."

Many veteran and young players are leading the team in Anyang this season. As a captain, Lee Chang-yong is even acting as a link to the team. However, he took a step back by giving credit as a leader to his seniors. Lee Chang-yong said "I thought the burden was heavy, but when I looked around, there were two players, including (Kim) Bo-kyung and Kim Da-sol." In a way, there are three captains. Two sergeant, one corporal, I'm a corporal and those seniors took my burden off, so I think I can be bright or serious when the team loses in a row. The role of the two players was important in the team" he explained.

Then "The way I treat my younger brothers sincerely, as an older brother, is what I want and pursue." I think I'm grateful that my juniors like that."




As a captain, I thought about the team's performance before my personal goal. Lee Chang-yong said, `Since I'm over thirty years old, my evaluation will be better only when the team's performance is good.' `I don't have any personal goals, and I'm thinking a lot that I want Anyang to remain in K League 1 for a long time because I think that if the team's ranking goes up even by one space, the evaluation of my ability will be different."," he smiled.

This season, Anyang is dreaming of staying and even more as a promotion team. Lee Chang-yong also had a goal set by the coach at the start of the season. What is needed to run towards that goal is a point. I think all K League 1 teams will think that they should beat Anyang until they finish the first round of Robin. Now, I think that if we reverse that image and we reverse the power, wouldn't there be a good result like today?"
