Honestly, the Korea Cup is not my goal. I want to go to the finals Lee Young-min's temperature difference (Korea Cup field interview) in the second round of the semifinals

The temperature difference between the coaches of the two teams toward the Korea Cup was huge. Bucheon and Gwangju will hold the second round of the semifinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup' at 7:30 p.m. on the 27th at Bucheon Stadium. In the first round of the Korea Cup semifinal at home on the 20th, Gwangju won 2-0 with consecutive goals from Jung Ji-hoon and Hayes. Gwangju occupied an advantageous position to reach the final even if it lost by only one goal. No matter who goes up, it will be the first final.
In terms of the lineup, Gwangju gave more strength. In Gwangju, Fried Jonsson and Moon Min-seo were at the forefront, and Jung Ji-hoon, Lee Kang-hyun, Yoo Je-ho and Oh Soo-sung were in the midfield. Ha Seung-woon, Jin Si-woo, Byun Jun-su, and Cho Sung-kwon organized the four-bag. Kim Kyung-min defended the goal. Hayes, Choi Kyung-rok, Shim Sang-min and Ju Se-jong started from the bench. On the other hand, Bucheon placed Vasani, Montagno, Thiagingyo, and Park Chang-joon on the bench. Instead, Lee Eui-hyung, Kim Dong-hyun, and Kim Kyu-min started.
Coach Lee Jung-hyo, whom I met before the game, said, `Of course, I have a desire to go to the final. I think the players will focus more on playing the league only if they schedule it by December 6th when the Korea Cup final will be held." It is Fried Jonsson who catches the eye. It's his first start. Director Lee said, `They're having a hard time with the weather in Korea. My training didn't go well because I was looking for a team during the preseason, but now I think I'm a little ready, so I'm going to drag it for about 45 minutes. He says he's 60 percent, but it's like a lie. I think it's about 80%."
Coach Lee finally said, `We have a small number of runs. In the end, I try to score goals because I don't have goals. Fried Jonsson's goal was an adventure to score a goal in the end," he said with a smile. "If we go to the final for the first time since the club's foundation, I think we will feel good, if not as good as the match against Kobe."
Coach Lee Young-min devised how to play the first and second games. To be honest, there was no Korea Cup victory among our goals this year. Our goal is promotion. The league comes first. We had to allocate time because we had to go on an away trip to Gyeongnam." "Because of the two-goal kick, I'm going to be more aggressive even if I take risks from a high position. "Many of the players who started now also played in the league. It's worth looking forward to. We're definitely not the main team. I made a list according to my condition. We will set the timing of putting in foreign players after looking at the situation. In my head, I've already done a simulation."
