Our soccer expectations are leading and leading the victory that is desperately needed to advance to the Asian stage. Coach Kim Ki-dong's shooting of determined guard made the team atmosphere good.

Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong predicted a football led against Pohang.

FC Seoul and Pohang Steelers are set to play in the 36th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Stillyard on the 9th.

Seoul wants a chase. Seoul, which won fourth place last season and succeeded in advancing to ACLE, can reverse its ranking only when it has at least two wins and one draw in the remaining schedule and Pohang does not win the remaining three games to head to the Asian stage. If he does not win this game, he will actually fail to chase fourth place. The problem is Seoul's recent momentum. Seoul has only one win, two draws and three losses in its last six games, including the league and ACLE. A quick rebound is essential considering the team's situation that has dampened the atmosphere.

Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong met with reporters before the game and said, `Pohang plays soccer with strong lines. There are many tall players, and this is the boundary. We lost the last game, but we made a lot of good chances in the second half and played a leading game. Shouldn't we play in that way. If we lead the game and lead the game, I hope that the players will be able to find psychological stability and play our soccer in it."

Seoul often had frustrating situations because it was not solved at the time when it needed to be solved at the gate. Among them, Andersson is the one who is disappointed in his performance. Andersson has not scored in two months since August. Coach Kim said, `I feel like I'm paying a lot of attention to help. He seems to have been greedy for that part because he was more helpful than scoring himself. He also created a lot of good situations at that time. It's a shame they can't lead to a goal. Since we don't have a lot of points, the capable player told us to be greedy to score when the chance came out. "

After Kim Joo-sung's transfer, defense is also a concern for Seoul. He has allowed five consecutive league goals in the last five games. Director Kim said "This part is getting longer. It can also be seen as the responsibility of the director. We lost a lot of points in six games, and after that, (Lee) Han-do and (Park) Sung-hoon took turns. There is also a defensive problem with losing points, but I think I lose points because the balance is broken somewhere. In that sense, I think we should try not to give space to the players from the front, not just four players, and when there is a crisis, experienced players should use their management skills well to overcome it. I'm continuing to train", he explained.

Seoul and Pohang are playing the Asian Champions League stage at the same time this season. The tight schedule leading to weekday and weekend games is bound to be a burden. "In the case of ACL2, I think it will not be easy without dualization because we play on Thursday," coach Kim said. Pohang also seems to be almost in a rotation situation. We are going with time allocation within 16 to 17 players playing the game. There seems to be a part of being tired. Moving, playing things continue. In this regard, he/she controls his/her condition by catching his/her know-how or rhythm well. However, there are some difficulties because there are no experienced players. "

Seoul must win this game to continue its hopes of advancing to the ACL next season. Coach Kim said "If we say we're playing ACL this year, and it's different, they say so. I think I take pride in going on the Asian stage and playing. It's a really important time to get this opportunity next year, and we have to do well." However, there were a few important points where we could hit it, but it's a pity that we couldn't get over it and fell down."

In Seoul, Lingard recently appeared on a TV program, and the crew also visited the team's training. "I think I had a new experience thanks to Jesse at an important point as a team," Kim said. The players, with the cameras and many staff coming that day, seem to have played a lot of jokes and made the atmosphere of the training ground good. For example, Yazan, who didn't speak, also had a lot of cameras, so he was more excited than Jesse. He explained, "We purposely teased each other, and I think we had a good time together."
