In a pre-interview with Gangwon at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 27th, Coach Foye said of Lee Seung-woo, who started the second round of the semifinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup', "I thought Lee Seung-woo would be an important player today, so I put him in as a starter."." Lee Seung-woo formed an offense with tall striker Kompanyo and winger Song Min-gyu. Kang Sang-yoon, Kim Jin-gyu, and Park Jin-seop built the three-middle, and Kim Tae-hwan, Hong Jung-ho, Kim Young-bin, and Kim Tae-hyun took charge of the four-back. Kim Jung-hoon wore goalkeeper gloves. Main winger Jeon Jin-woo is waiting to play as a substitute in the second half along with Thiago, Chumashi, and Lee Young-jae.
Coach Foyet started backup goalkeeper Kim Jung-hoon on the same day as in the first leg of the semifinals of the Korea Cup, which was tied 1-1. In response, `Kim Jung-hoon knows that Song Bum-keun will play in the league from start to finish. There are not many games to play, so there will be difficulties in preparing, but I always thought I was well prepared, so I trusted and hired him."
If the combined score is the same in the first and second games of the Korea Cup semifinals, the game will be decided by going into extra time. The away goals rule does not apply separately. Coach Foyet said, `I will focus on playing in regular time as much as I can. But I'll think about it if that's the case.' He also practiced the penalty shootout, but emphasized that the penalty shootout is a mental battle with many variables.
Jeonbuk lost 1-3 against Pohang on the weekend, breaking its 22nd consecutive league game. Asked how this would affect the team's atmosphere, he said, `Only after the game is over will we know how the game affected the team.'
Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho said of Jeonbuk's unbeaten end, `It's one of two. It's either united as one, or it's a little more weak. I think I can tell from the tension during today's game."

However, in the case of an extended match, he emphasized the basics, saying, `It is important to keep the manual principles such as defense principles, attack principles, and transition principles.'
As for Lee Seung-woo, who started, "Lee Seung-woo is a free-roll player. There are a lot of scenes where you hit the ball yourself, so you have to be careful about that. I think I should pay attention to that because I smell the goal well, and I like the movement to go into the back barn and the movement to win the second ball."
Coach Chung formed an offensive team with Kim Dae-won, Mo Jae-hyun, and Choi Byung-chan. It is 'PERSINE' without a specialized striker. Seo Min-woo and Lee Yoo-hyun were entrusted with the midfield. Kang Joon-hyuk and Song Joon-seok will be in charge of defense on both sides, while Kang Tu-ji and Park Ho-young and Shin Min-ha will protect the back door. Park Chung-hyo is in charge of the goal. Lee Kwang-yeon, Lee Ki-hyuk, Cho Hyun-tae, Kang Yoon-gu, Kim Dae-woo, Koo Bon-cheol, Kim Gun-hee, Lee Ji-ho, Yoon Il-rok will be on the bench.
Coach Chung said "In the away game in Gwangju, the players were very tired, as well as the Gwangju grass. Kim Geon-hee also had a calf strain. We put together the lineup like this because we had to focus on raising our energy levels. It's a four-back (on the submission), but we prepared it with a concept similar to the first leg of the semifinals (three-back)" Koo Bon-cheol and Kim Gun-hee and Lee Ji-ho, who showed good scoring ability in the Korea Cup, will be put in the right place in the second half.
Regarding the introduction of Park Ho-young, a 1m98-tall center back, "It has advantages when dealing with tall players starting from Malkong (Ulsan). I thought Compagno would be the starter again today" expressed anticipation.
On the preparation for the penalty shootout, he said, `I practiced yesterday.'
