"I think it's possible if the Korean leader works hard."

It was the confidence that coach Lee Jung-hyo expressed by beating Newcastle as a coach of the team K League.

Team K League beat Newcastle United 1-0 in one game of the 2025 Coupang Play Series at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 30th. Kim Jin-kyu (Jeonbuk Hyundai)'s first goal in the 36th minute of the first half was kept until the end of the second half, catching the representative club of the English Premier League (EPL) called Newcastle.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo also enjoyed the moment of victory together. This year's team K League was operated under coach Kim Pan-gon and coach Lee Jung-hyo. Coach Lee drew attention even though he was a coach. Manager Kim Pan-gon took charge of the tactical part and instructed team K League players on how to break down against Newcastle. Already during the open training process, coach Lee Jung-hyo showed his passion on the ground by carefully guiding the players.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo, who met with reporters in the mixed zone after the game, said "As usual"When you see the good and the bad, you scream, organize, praise, and encourage them."

Players who have experienced Lee's new experience responded that they were surprised by the details of Lee during the team's K-League training. Jeon Jin-woo (Jeonbuk), who has emerged as a representative player in the K League this season, said in an interview before the game that `I trained with him for a while, and he was really detailed. He told me what to do for each player, so I felt for a moment why Gwangju had no choice but to play good football. Han Hyun-seo (Pohang), who is included in the squad as a couple Young People, also seems to be the type to think about every single variable"He expressed his surprise at the guidance of director Lee.

As for what he instructed while coaching the players for a short period of time "I tried to give the players a good understanding of how to put pressure on them or how to solve the game, even for a short period of time. I think the players understood it well," he replied.

Even on the day of the game, Lee's passion did not stop. From the whiteboard instruction that drew attention in the K-League against Newcastle, the sound of Lee's passionate tactical instruction wearing a microphone was directly transmitted to the broadcast. Regarding the transmission of tactical instruction broadcasts, director Lee replied that "I feel like I'm shackled" but "I thought it would be okay because he said he would filter it out well later."

During the game, he was seen frustrated with Mota and Boyanich. Director Lee said "I gave him two missions and he fulfilled them well. Boyanich explained the situation at the time, saying, "I played comfortably and got permission from head coach Kim Pan-gon and said something."

As soon as Team K League caught the big name of Newcastle, coach Lee also took a single confidence that Korean leaders can do it. He "I feel a lot of confidence. I think it is possible for Korean leaders to study and work hard. The tactical part is the same as well." He stressed the expectations of Korean leaders for growth and important efforts to grow.

When asked if any Newcastle players were coveted, Lee tactfully replied, `Park Seung-soo was the most coveted.' He is a player who has been watching the whole time. When did you go out to Europe. It's a short time today, but I think it left a big impact" he complimented.
