Gangwon FC will play FC Anyang in the seventh round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at Anyang Stadium on the 6th.
It is a showdown between Anyang, which has yet to win at home since being promoted to the K League 1, and Gangwon, which needs a turnaround in the situation of two consecutive losses.
Gangwon's atmosphere has been sharply dampened by its last two consecutive losses. Both Seoul and Gimcheon lost 0-1, and the frustrating trend was repeated throughout the game. The biggest problem was the attack. There were only three effective shots throughout the two games. In order to rebound in performance, he had to break through the path of attack in the game against Anyang.
Coach Chung Kyung-ho, who met with reporters before the game, appeared with a short shaved head. Coach Chung said "I had to motivate myself, not just to desperately say words to the players, but to show my earnestness first." I hope it will be delivered to the players. We also lack courage in the Final Third. Cutting your hair takes courage, too. I cut my hair in the hope of having such courage and wanting to go in a good direction. He explained the reason for the shaved head.

As for the haircut, "When I went into Sangmu, my face came out" "I cut my hair at Sangmu and the performance was good. I did well when I was a player with short hair, so I think I would do well when I was a leader," he said with a smile.
As for the preparation process, "I'm well prepared" and "I'm reducing my runs, and I think I'm coming out of the atmosphere, although I'm lacking points compared to last year." I hope this atmosphere will be a turning point for the team today. I told the players whether I would be swept away by the waves or riding on the waves. We may be in crisis, we may be in opportunity. I prepared it with the intention of getting on without being swept away by the waves. I'm hoping that we'll be able to see a different side of ourselves in the stadium today," he replied.
Gangwon's power vacuum is inevitable as Yang Min-hyuk and Hwang Moon-ki, who played an active role last year, left the team. Coach Chung came to Gangwon in June 2023 during the relegation crisis, and there was a change in the squad. Gangwon is always a team with a lot of changes, so it needs time to adapt to the changes. The same goes for the players. (Hwang) Mungi and (Yang) Min-hyuk also suddenly left, and these changes seemed to have made Gangwon more static, so he diagnosed that these parts should be sorted out well. I think it is my role to make it well with the resources that there are. Since Gangwon is a big name, but it is not an environment where good players can just be brought in, it is also my role to grow and make it as much as possible. It's not easy, but I'm trying to hit it. It's never been easy coming this far. I want to overcome the crisis well and become a good opportunity" he evaluated.
