Gwangju FC and FC Anyang are set to play in the 31st round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Anyang Stadium on the 28th.
It's a showdown between two teams that can't miss points to look a little higher. Gwangju wants to return to Final A after two seasons. He quickly settled the mood that was shaking after Asani's transfer. The rise to the final of the Korea Cup stands out with 5 wins and 2 losses in the last seven games. However, it is also a concern for Gwangju that they failed to use much power and lost 0-3 against Seoul. On days when the attack does not explode, coach Lee Jung-hyo cannot easily find it. We should expect more from the superiority in Sangseong, which won two games this season against Anyang.
Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo told reporters before the game that `I think Anyang is a pretty good team. Coach Yoo Byung-hoon is also capable, and he seems to continue to grow as he plays. It feels good to see the team clearly developing what they are good at and how they should play. Still, the game has to be fought fiercely, but he's a coach I support quite a lot. You prepared well today."
This season, Gwangju has two wins against Anyang. Since Lee Jung-hyo took office, he has not lost to Anyang. Director Lee said, `I don't know how Anyang will come out in the second half, but I think we can not lose a point in the first half, and just pull it as intended.'
Coach Yoo Byung-hoon and coach Lee Jung-hyo were teammates who played together in Busan when they were active. They are known to have been roommates, too. Asked if he had a pre-match conversation, coach Lee replied, `I call him occasionally in normal times. I don't talk on the phone the day before the game or before the match. I think I'm careful. I think we'll talk a lot after it's over. I've been on the phone quite a bit since promotion last year. We talked a lot about the difference between K League 1 and 2."
As for the outcome of the game "Anyang's foreign players are good. I think today's victory or defeat will depend on how you block those players." Regarding the fact that some key players in Anyang, including Kim Jung-hyun and Kwon Kyung-won, are absent, he said, `I think it's a relief that some good players are missing.'
They are two teams competing in the rankings. For Final A, victory is needed rather than one point each. However, coach Lee should also look at the final of the Korea Cup. He said "The target is December 6th. I said, "(Korea Cup) Let's play the final well, and let's grow every single hand in every game."
Lee declined to comment on some sensitive issues. Regarding the topic of the number of first division teams that was discussed at a recent K-League public hearing, I saw it as an article. I don't think I'm telling you today. If you ask me as a director of the Korea Football Association after the season, I think I can talk about it in detail then." Regarding Anyang and Gwangju ranking second and third in fouls this season, it is also very clear. If you ask me as a director of the Korea Football Association, I will tell you. But I can't tell you if you ask me as a manager of the K-League", he explained.
