This is the words of Chung Jeong-yong, managing director of Gimcheon.
On the 17th, Kim Cheon-sang won 6-2 at home against FC Seoul at Gimcheon Stadium in the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' home game. Gimcheon (12 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses) had five undefeated matches. Above all, Gimcheon won the match against Seoul after 10 matches. It's been 1260 days.
After the game, coach Chung said, `I think I made a perfect performance and result. Thank you. The fans cheered for us until the end. Thank you for supporting us to achieve good times and good results as one. There is a variable seat. I think my concentration has improved. I hope I can focus more on those things in the future"There was a direction we wanted for the attack deployment. It was organized, including the timing of the pressure. I think I got a good result because it was well made in the beginning. I think that's the part we need to take with us. I think we can continue with the role model of the game in the future."
Gimcheon led 2-0 at one point in the game. However, he gave up two goals in an instant, allowing a 2-2 tie. He regained the lead by scoring additional points at the moment of crisis. Gimcheon, who found stability, scored three goals in the second half and won the game completely.
Coach Chung said "It was a part that could have been turned upside down. It's been more than three years since we didn't beat Seoul. It's hard to turn it around. I think the winning mentality was good enough for the players to manage the game. I think there was a good result and finish with confidence after overcoming that crisis. Not only me, but all the coaching staff and players wanted to win. I knew the Seoul match was important."
He added "The opponent is tall. We are not big. I thought it wouldn't be easy if I flew nonstop. It is true that we have prepared something that can be done through. The timing was right. I think the set-piece goal going 3-2 was the most important goal."
Gimcheon will face Suwon FC at home on the 23rd.
