Gangwon is seventh with 35 points and Pohang is third with 44 points. Depending on the results of the game, it is an opportunity to climb one place to sixth and second, respectively.
Gangwon has been undefeated in four games in the league recently. It's one win and three ties. It won 1-0 in the 27th round against Gwangju FC. In particular, the defense has stabilized enough to play clean sheets for three consecutive games. The variable is the Korea Cup during the week. In the second leg of the Korea Cup semifinal against Jeonbuk Hyundai held at home on the 28th, Gangwon lost 1-2, allowing consecutive goals for extra time. It is important to relieve the burden of physical strength and the disappointment of defeat.
Gangwon pulled out a 3-4-3 card. Kim Gun-hee was at the forefront, and Kim Dae-won and Mo Jae-hyun were on the left and right. Song Joon-seok and Kang Joon-hyuk were in the left and right wingbacks, and Seo Min-woo and Lee Yoo-hyun were in the midfield. The three-back was set up by Shin Min-ha, Kang Tu-ji and Park Ho-young. Park Chung-hyo wore goalkeeper gloves.
Gabriel, Lee Ji-ho, Kim Dae-woo, Kim Do-hyun, Koo Bon-cheol, Cho Hyun-tae, Kang Yoon-gu, Lee Ki-hyuk and Lee Kwang-yeon sat on the bench.
Coach Chung, who met before the game, said, `Although we are disappointed with the results of the Korea Cup, we should use them as a driving force for further development."You have to win today's game to fight the semi-finals. The game is at a critical juncture.
After the Korea Cup, Chung said, `The players were the best, and the coach was not good enough" resonated with the words. He was "I meant it. I saw him as a head coach from behind the coach, but since he became a coach, he has been too immersed in the game itself. As a director, I felt trial and error and thought I should expand my horizons. I also talked with the coaching staff about division of roles.'
Chung used the three-back card. He said, `We have to fight numbers to prevent coach Park Tae-ha from doing well. Recently, Pohang has changed from before. I'm going to put pressure on Ki Sung-yueng not to pass and stop Giorgi through Park Ho-young." "Pohang is having fun through pressure recently, and we have prepared how to solve it. Pohang's energy level is so good that it's burdensome, but as it's home, I'm going to make sure it doesn't become a rival sacrifice."
As for the physical burden "Jeonbuk only took two days off after playing against us yesterday, but he played better than Ulsan. It's a matter of posture and attitude, and it's enough to overcome it.'
