Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon, who won his first victory against Seoul after three games of two games, dedicated the victory to his fans.

Anyang won 2-1 in the 28th round away match against Seoul at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st thanks to Mota's winning goal in the second half. Anyang, which led with Thomas' first goal in the third minute of the first half, briefly faced a crisis with Kwon Kyung-won's own goal in the second minute of the second half, but Mota, who was replaced in the 33rd minute of the second half, scored the winning goal in a counterattack.

Anyang, which had one draw and one loss against Seoul earlier, caught three rabbits: its first win against Seoul, its first consecutive win since being promoted this year, and its escape from the relegation zone. Anyang, which won two consecutive games by tying the victory against Daejeon (3-2 wins), simultaneously defeated Suwon FC and Jeju (31 points) in the same round with 33 points and jumped two places from 11th place to 9th place, which is the remaining zone. He is one point behind Ulsan (34 points) in eighth place.




Coach Yoo said, `Today's victory is dedicated to the fans who have defended Anyang for a long time and devoted themselves. First of all, I would like to thank Mayor Choi Dae-ho for his hard work in supporting the team. Thanks to the fans who filled Sangam, the players were able to gain more strength. Thank you to the players who did their best, the players who showed their will to win until the end. I am also grateful to the staff who supported me well. Winning today is not the end. Today's victory must be satisfied until today. I got the momentum to get through the following. I trained well during the break and prepared well for the next game," he said of his victory.

Anyang previously recorded one draw and one loss with a score of one to two and one to one against Seoul, respectively. I was more disappointed that I couldn't catch it. Coach Yoo said, `Frankly speaking, we are weaker than Seoul. However, we didn't play with the tail because we were weak in power. "Personally, I've been with this team for 10 years and I've known Anyang fans well." So I thought I had to keep my promise that I had to win against Seoul. The players did their best to live up to the promise"

After the victory, the Anyang away fan, who filled the away seats, shouted the name of "Yoo Byung-hoon." Director Yoo said, `I feel good to be able to keep my promise. I think (calling my name) means to do better, and I'll work harder. If I achieve my goal (of staying), I think my joy will double."

Coach Yoo's tactical strategy was an effective match on this day. Defender Thomas, who coach Yoo deployed forward as a central midfielder, scored the first goal by actively participating in the attack. He received Matheus' lobbing pass with his chest and cut the net with a calm left-footed shot in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. In the second half, Yago and Mota, who were substituted, combined for additional goals. In the counterattack, Yago's shot hit Seoul goalkeeper Choi Chul-won's body and pushed it in.

Coach Yoo said, "In the 21st minute of the second half, "The background of putting Aiya Mota in is "

Anyang has added tension to the relegation zone and even the final group fight with its two consecutive wins. Coach Yoo said, `I was embarrassed because I lost a point from the start of the second half. In the situation of weighing the timing of Moda's introduction, I thought I could do well enough until Kim Un was replaced. At a time when his opponent was exhausted, he put in Mota, who competed well" he explained.




Regarding the contribution of multiplayer Thomas "It is a multi (player) that can be used as a centerback, fullback, and midfielder. After Kwon Kyung-won's recruitment, he has room for centerback resources, and is using him as a midfielder. Thomas plays well to support in defense and go out into space. It must have been difficult for the opponent to mark because he went in from behind again today."

I have lost as much as I have gained. Mota and Kim Jung-hyun and Lee Tae-hee will be warned on the same day and will miss the next match against Jeju. Director Yoo said, "I'm worried about that"I think the players have dedicated themselves to the team. Now another player has to play the role of those players. During the two-week A-match break, we will look at the players and decide who will be assigned to whom and what role."

Meanwhile, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong, who suffered a painful loss at home, said, `I am sorry for not being able to build the pride of the fans. I was able to go up at an important point, but I'm sorry I couldn't. I will prepare well during the A-match period so that I can go up in the ranking competition."

Regarding the performance on this day, "Unexpectedly lost points early in the first half and failed to lead as we planned. It was difficult to find space as the opponent got off after scoring. It was to break through the side that Lucas was put out of the bank in the first half. I scored in the second half with one midfielder up, but I lost a point with complacent play in the midfielder."

Seoul has repeatedly won, lost, and won without winning in a row. Seoul (40 points) remained in fifth place outside the Asian Champions League due to the loss. The difference between the fourth-place Pohang (44 points) is four points, and the difference between the seventh-place Gangwon (38 points), which is in the lower split zone, is two points.

Coach Kim said, `Recently, more than two goals have been scored. The players are struggling in that part. You must not lose a point"
