Gwangju and Pohang are set to play in the 25th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Pohang Steelyard on the 10th.

Gwangju is in a swamp. There is no victory with one draw and two losses in the last three games. The last victory in the league was 2-1 against FC Anyang on June 28, and the atmosphere must be quickly changed in order to leap to the top.




Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo told reporters before the game that `Every game is important now. We have nine games left before we split Final A and B, and we're not going to lose any more. We practiced what we can do well, what we can do aggressively, and we also invested a considerable amount of time in defense."

In addition to the performance, other problems also broke out. Ace Asani has signed with Iranian league club Estegral Tehran, and Estegral is demanding Asani join early. Gwangju reportedly delivered Asani's transfer fee to Estegral, but no progress has been made yet. In an atmosphere where there was no choice but to be restless, attention was inevitably drawn to director Lee Jung-hyo's choice. Manager Lee excluded Asani from the list in the match against Pohang.

Director Lee said "I'm not feeling well. I couldn't train this week because I was sick. I decided to train from next week. Currently, he is a Gwangju player. "If he is ready, he can't go to the game if he is not feeling well. I'm resting because I'm not feeling well. I think we can judge then."




Then "I had enough conversation with Asani. He goes to the game when he is ready, and if he is not ready, he cannot go to the game. I know it well because I've been through it. The team atmosphere is not bad, either. I don't think Asani is trying to cloud the team atmosphere. get along well with the players", he explained.

Asani's vacancy was filled by newly joined Fried Jonsson on the list. Director Lee said, `I'm not in good shape yet. It is necessary to slowly increase the game time and raise the body. We have an attack option on a height that we didn't have before," he replied.

During this break, Lee participated as a team K-League coach and received a lot of favorable reviews. He was "It was funny. I think I should say that a slightly different door has opened for me. I think it will be helpful in developing and coaching the players."
