Jeju and Daegu are set to play the 37th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. They faced each other on the edge of the cliff. It is a game that can determine the direction of this season between the two teams, who have to get out of the danger of direct relegation. In K League 1, the bottom will automatically drop, and the 11th place will play the second place in K League 2 in the promotion playoff (PO). The 10th place has the K League 2 PO winner and the elevation PO.
The two teams are no different in their desperation before the game. There are only three points difference between Jeju, ranked 11th in the promotion playoff (PO), and Daegu, ranked 12th in the automatic relegation zone. Jeju allowed the pursuit without opening the gap. During the nine games when Daegu was on the rise, Jeju won only one game (one draw and seven losses). He seemed to run away again with a victory over Suwon FC (2-1 wins) in the 34th round, but he collapsed again with two consecutive losses. The performance is relatively more stable than Daegu, but the game was decided in concentration. It is important for Jeju to catch Daegu and continue its momentum to the promotion PO, as there is still room to get out of the bottom on its own.
Acting Jeju coach Kim Jung-soo said, `It's a game without words. The atmosphere of the stadium is the same. It's up to us to overcome it because it's what we did." As for the team's condition, there is something heavy. There were some parts that stood out a little before, but now they are heavy. I think I've become serious in the psychological part." Acting President Kim motivated the players through the fans' videos. He showed the video of his fans. It allowed the players to think again in that part. I used it during the meeting."
Regarding the situation in which Daegu's Cesinha is missing, we were prepared for both "there is and is not". However, what we do must come first. I did the training that I thought I did." Lee Chang-min was absent from Jeju, but the breakaway road returned. Acting Kim said "It's been a long time since I came back to the game, so I'm worried about my physical strength and sense, but I think if I run, I'll match the game." I don't worry because I'm a good player. We will continue to check and prepare for the game as well," he said. "Lee Chang-min has a great influence on the team's mental and game plen, so there can be no aftermath of the gap. But it's not even a competition where you can argue everything about it."
Regarding the situation of the game, "Wouldn't it be a cautious game for us and Daegu?" I was careful in the beginning, but after that, I prepared because there was a part that could change as a replacement."
