Gimcheon Sangmu, who was sailing, is in crisis.

Gimcheon recorded 13 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses (46 points) in 29 games 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'. It is ranked second. It's an unexpected feat. Even before the opening, Gimcheon was classified as a low-ranking candidate. It's obvious. Gimcheon is repeatedly enlisted and discharged from the military due to the nature of 'military team'. Several times throughout the year, they undergo 'transition'. As the organizational structure was disturbed, it appeared several times that 'Wheel' This is why he failed to shake off the question mark despite his best performance (3rd place) in the foundation last year. In fact, Gimcheon will repeat its discharge and enlistment seven times this year. Players were discharged three times from June to July. On October 28, Lee Dong-kyung and Lee Dong-joon will also leave the team. On the contrary, Gimcheon received recruits once every April or June. He is also scheduled to join the army in November. However, they cannot be together this season due to the schedule of the Army Training Center.

Gimcheon played a relatively stable season even in the situation of 'transition'. Sergeant Malnyeon appeared to take the lead by staying in the team with 'Voluntary'. They remained on the team and served as a bridge between existing players and new faces. Thanks to this, Gimcheon's soccer system, which was established after Chung Jung-yong's appointment, continued without shaking. However, Gimcheon fell into a crisis, the most important time.




Gimcheon has lost two consecutive games. On August 31, they lost to Daejeon Hana Citizen 1-2 in an away match. Kim Seung-seop led the way with the first goal and gave up two goals in a row. In particular, he knelt down by dedicating the winning goal just before the end of the game. The team also lost 1-2 at home to Daegu FC after the A-match break in September. Gimcheon was once dragged 0-2. At least, Lee Dong-kyung's comeback goal at the end of the game avoided losing the game. Gimcheon allowed a blow to the lowest-ranked Daegu.

It is not the first time that Gimcheon has lost two consecutive games this season. Suwon FC (2-3 losses) on April 12 and Daejeon (0-2 losses) on April 19 and Ulsan HD (2-3 losses) on May 24 and FC Seoul (0-1 losses) on May 28 experienced two consecutive losses. But this time is different from the past. The timing is not good. There are only four games left before the final round is divided. The match is also the worst. Gimcheon will face Jeonbuk Hyundai at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Gimcheon had two losses against Jeonbuk this season. It will have a series of matches against the Pohang Steelers on the 27th and Ulsan on the 5th of October. He will meet tough opponents one after another before the A-match in October. Coach Chung said after the defeat against Daegu, `I'm sorry to the fans. There was a strategy, a tactic that I was trying to do. It's a shame that I couldn't produce a result. I will make a good new player with this structure. I'll prepare well for the match against Jeonbuk and bring the result."
