It was the hope of Gangwon FC coach Chung Kyung-ho. Gangwon lost 0-2 to Gangwon FC in the 23rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. Gangwon, which has been in good shape recently, ended its unbeaten streak in four games.
It was a complete defeat. Gangwon lost to Kim Jin-kyu in the 38th minute and Kompanyo in the 42nd minute. In the extra time, Kim Dae-woo was sent off. Coach Chung tried to make changes with a bold replacement in the second half, but it was not enough.
Coach Chung said in a press conference after the game that `"from the beginning of the first half against the No. 1 team, there was a chaotic atmosphere with poor concentration." As the scene of the loss continued, the atmosphere was down. In the meantime, there was a part that I tried to change after the first half, but it became difficult due to the exit. However, it is likely to be positive in preparing for the next game to endure 45 minutes without losing a point against Jeonbuk, which has an unrivaled lead. I'll pick up the parts I couldn't concentrate on and prepare for the next match against Ulsan."
On this day, coach Chung did not include Seo Min-woo, who sat on the bench. Coach Chung said, `Seo Min-woo was actually the starter, but he had a fever and was also given an IV at night. It had an impact. There was something prepared against Jeonbuk, but the part prepared by the variable of Seo Min-woo did not come out. However, it does not collapse at 0-2, and needs to replenish the physical strength of the next game. Shin Min-ha also had a warning so she took a rest, and saved Mo Jae-hyun and Seo Min-woo. I thought it shouldn't collapse, but I used my fighting spirit to score no points.'
Chung praised Jeonbuk for its performance. Coach Chung said, `Jeonbuk has a good balance no matter which team they meet, and each player knows what to do in each position. Both the players in the first half and the players in the second half are competitive. His record against Jeonbuk has been good recently, but Jeonbuk is the team heading for the championship. I played a good game against a good team. The first half needs to be looked back. We will continue the positive part of the second half."
