Gangwon will play FC Seoul in the 19th round of 'Hana One Q K League 1 2025' at 7:30 p.m. on the 17th at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Gangwon, which has fallen to 10th place due to three consecutive losses, is aiming to leap to the mid-range.
Ahead of the game, coach Chung said "I know there has been no victory in away games in Seoul for seven years, but there is also an atmosphere that we are breaking various records." Recently, I have lost a lot of points, so I prepared by communicating with the players. Seoul is a very good defense team, so it has changed our game management. We prepared to get as many points as possible."
Gangwon, which has shown the worst offense in the K League 1 this season, recruited Kim Gun-hee, who played in the Japanese J-League, Gyeongnam FC, and Mo Jae-hyun, who played well in Gimcheon Sangmu as soon as the transfer market opened. Director Chung said, `I think I got a very good commanding horse. (Mo) Jae-hyun did not return to the team after being discharged from the military and did some personal training alone for about 10 days, so his physical condition is not perfect yet, but it is still a resource we need. I look forward to the second half because I'm a player who can play the role of a game changer in the second half," he said, expressing anticipation.
In addition, "I really appreciate the club. Mo Jae-hyun and Kim Gun-hee were recruited, and if Kim Dae-won is discharged again and Seo Min-woo comes in, we will be able to go to a much more complete team in the second half of the year. The score is very low, but when those players come in, there are situations where more diverse patterns can come out, so I'm watching them carefully", signaling a different attack in the second half of the year.
Coach Chung lowered Lee Kwang-yeon to the bench for the first time this season. As for this decision "Gwangyeon was steadily doing well. It was a team that was close to the minimum number of runs in the first round, but the number of runs has increased in the last three games. Kwangyeon is feeling a bit burdened, and Park Chunghyo is doing well, so I was looking at the timing", he explained.
Gangwon seems not to end the transfer market as it is. It is also breaking up with Jiwoo and Delich, setting up additional foreign positions. Director Chung also "It seems that the power reinforcement room is checking mercenaries right now."The attack is a little short of resources now. There are parts that are suffering from a lack of crack-type players. When you go to a third of the opponent's area, there are times when the game is frustrating because the role of making shots and creating chances is a little weak due to individual abilities. I wonder if such parts will be resolved through summer reinforcement. I'm sorting out the list while communicating," he said, adding that he is in the process of recruiting.
Recruitment of foreigners is important, but it is also urgent to save resources. Gangwon is desperate for ace Lee Sang-hun last season and Lee Ji-ho, a new rising prospect this season. Coach Chung left Lee Ji-ho first and "Ji-ho is doing his best right now. For a rookie, he is still doing well. Ji-ho's line shows his ability as much as he can right now. If a new player is added to the attack, Jiho will probably be less burdened"He showed his trust in the player.
Regarding Lee Sang-heon "Sang-heon has some urgent parts in his heart. I'm thinking a lot about how to save Sangheon. I also understood a lot about Sangheon's style. From today, I prepared by changing Sangheon's role a little. I hope it's a turning point."
