You need to win 5 games in the remaining 8 games. You must have understood the message urging the players to awaken

Aug 15, 2025

"We need at least 5 wins in the remaining 8 games."

Anyang and Pohang are set to play in the 26th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Anyang Sports Complex on the 15th.

Anyang is in desperate need of a rebound. Anyang has been struggling with two wins, one draw and five losses in the last eight games, failing to get results. In the previous game against Jeonbuk Hyundai, he had the potential to push the leader Jeonbuk hard, but he failed to rebound easily and fell to 11th place. Anyang is glad to see Ivan Yukichi join at a time when the defense is gradually stabilizing due to the joining of Kwon Kyung-won. Only when Yukichi plays a role in the attack can he revitalize the team's offense along with Mota and Mateus.

Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon, who met with reporters before the game, said "It's true that we've been in a bad trend recently, but I think we've made changes in the players' willingness, the content of the game and their concentration in the game." I tried to improve my concentration once or twice. Continuing the good trend, I will take care of not only the contents of today's game but also the results."

Anyang has lost two games against Pohang this season. Anyang becomes especially small when it faces Pohang. "I think Pohang has almost the best pressure in the league," coach Yoo said. It was always a bit difficult, especially because it was a team that brought victory with early pressure. Attack the opponent with a breakthrough on the side and a quick transition. "The point of the game is to focus on the offensive work shown in the Jeonbuk match while maintaining the defensive balance and not to be pushed under pressure."

Yukichi, who made his first appearance in the last match against Jeonbuk, was listed on the replacement list first in Gyeonggi Province. Coach Yoo said "This is because there is a quota for foreign players to offer. Motana Mateus, Yago and Thomas are not playing well. I'm looking at the timing. It wasn't long in the last game, but I'm planning to start organically because I confirmed my presence."

Anyang remains in 11th place this season, so the rise in the ranking is a priority. Coach Yoo said, `We need about five wins in the remaining eight games. Most importantly, the biggest goal is to rebound from the economy right now. If you play the way you want and get good results, wouldn't the players gain confidence and follow the results?"

Yoo also stressed the importance of the results to his players in order to turn around the current mood. He "If you've gone to faith and mystique before, that part is still unchanged, but achieving your goals should be the first priority. At today's meeting, he said he would change his method and make a change if he was complacent. Obviously, what matters is the outcome. It gave a message urging the players to wake up in such a way as making changes or making them more willing if the results do not follow. The players understood it well because they approached it differently from the way they've done so far, and I think it'll be seen in the game."
