Daegu FC, led by head coach Kim Byung-soo, suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat against Gangwon FC at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 21st. Daegu was at the bottom with three wins, four draws and 13 losses (13 points). He has only recorded three draws and five losses in the last eight games. He is also sluggish with two draws and two losses in four games under coach Kim Byung-soo. Above all, five months have passed since the opening, but there is still no away victory. He only had two draws and eight losses (2 points) in 10 games. With the defeat, Daegu moved further away from the relegation zone. As of the 21st, he failed to close the gap with FC Anyang, ranked 9th (19 games with 24 points), the remaining Maginot line.
On this day, Daegu utilized an unconventional lineup. Kwon Tae-young, Park Jin-young, Hwang Jae-won, born in 2002, and Lee Won-woo, Han Jong-moo, born in 2003, were selected as starters. He boldly put in young players. The lack of experience was filled with foreign players. All foreign player resources such as Edgar, Ramas, and Kaio were selected. Edgar and Ramas were put in the second half of the match against the Pohang Steelers just before. On this day, he started as a starter.
Daegu seemed to block well in the first half. However, he allowed the lead by losing a point in a set piece situation at the end of the first half. In the middle of the second half, he failed to block the opponent's side and allowed an empty space and lost points in a row. Since manager Kim's appointment, Daegu has lost the most points and lowered its head.
It is shocking. Daegu is basically a team that puts weight on defense. Even after Kim's appointment, the stance did not falter. Earlier, coach Kim said it is not easy to make changes to the three-back formation. Tactics have no choice but to be used according to talent. I'm making some modifications, but I don't have enough time." However, Daegu bowed its head to Gangwon on the day, conceding three goals.
Daegu will enter a long break after the game. The match against Ulsan HD, which was originally scheduled to be held on the 29th, was changed to 7 p.m. on July 12. Ulsan's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025 has changed its schedule. Moreover, this period is also the EAFF E-1 Championship. Daegu has about three weeks to reorganize.
There is enough reversal card. Daegu signed Carlos and Giovanni in the summer transfer window. Carlos, born in 1995, has strengths in stable passing and match coordination. It is evaluated as a resource that can play a central role of the team in the process of converting offense and defense. Giovanni, who was born in 2001, is said to have fast speed and individual skills. I usually play right winger but I can digest both sides. However, both players are new to the K-League. The problem of adaptation remains.
