If there is more attack, we will build more wins. Director Kim Hak-beom's wish is a little lower than last year

Jeju and Gwangju are set to play in the 19th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 18th.
It is a meeting between Jeju, which is on the rise, and Gwangju, which is on the shaky ground. Jeju has not lost five league games (3 wins and 2 draws) and has won three consecutive games. He seems to have shook off the bad atmosphere at the beginning of the season. In particular, he scored five goals in the previous two games, and his frustrating goal-making ability also rebounded. On the other hand, Gwangju's team performance has been sluggish due to internal controversies in several clubs recently. There has been no win in the last four games with two draws and two losses. In particular, the fact that he lost the previous match against Seoul 1-3 and failed to show his strong performance against Seoul is a part of how far Gwangju's momentum has fallen.
Foreign players, who are key players, also showed mixed performances. Jeju laughed at the match against Suwon FC, with Lee Hae-ro scoring a man-made goal, followed by Yuri Jonathan and Denilson scoring goals against Daegu on the 14th. Denilson was insignificant in his Jeju uniform this season, but he scored and fired a signal of a rebound. It is positive that Yuri Jonathan and his departure are also seeing the fruits of the consistency that have continued until recently. On the other hand, in Gwangju, ace Asani has only scored one goal in the last 10 games. Hayes is struggling, but Asani is silent and the weight of the attack has dropped significantly.
Coach Kim Hak-beom, who met with reporters before the game, expressed regret, saying, `Today is the 19th round, but the performance is a little lower than last year.'
In response to the recent rebound in attacks, head coach Kim said "It's the same now. I'm not satisfied. I think we can build up more wins if we score more in attack. There is a difficulty in operation because that doesn't work."
As for Shin Sang-eun, who recently joined Jeju, "I don't think he's in a state to put in the game yet. If you don't take care of your body, you'll get injured right away. I think it will take time."
As for Evandro, who has been steadily receiving opportunities as a starter recently, "He told me to do my own thing." Making use of the strengths, then I think it's possible. I can't make the best of it now" he evaluated.
Jeju's opponent, Gwangju, has recently been subject to controversy over unqualified players along with FIFA disciplinary action, and objections have been raised from teams who have faced the game. Director Kim also said, `I intend to raise this objection.'
