We can aim to win even if we confirm the championship Coach Yoon Jung-hwan → Maintaining the starting list won by a large margin, coach Cho Sung-hwan of Gyeonggi Province, who must win (on-site interview)

Nov 02, 2025

Incheon, which confirmed the championship, and Busan, which is in desperate need of a promotion playoff, had some differences in the game plan.

Incheon and Busan are set to play the 37th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Incheon Football Stadium on the 2nd.

Incheon, which has already confirmed its victory, stood in front of Busan, which has a busy way to go. Incheon won the previous 36th round against Gyeongnam and confirmed its K League 2 victory early. Incheon, which succeeded in direct promotion a year after relegation in the 2024 season, wants a perfect finish. Coach Yoon Jung-hwan has revealed that he has no intention of losing his strength in the remaining three games. The players are also still full of motivation because of their performance this season and several awards.

Incheon coach Yoon Jung-hwan met with reporters before the game and said, `I definitely have a wrong mind. I can't be this comfortable"(Players) looked brighter and better. I think it's a big thing that we've achieved something. This time, I took three days off by doing one more day than usual.'

Incheon's most likely winners, such as Mugosa Gerson, Park Seung-ho and Kim Gun-hee, were likely to continue their participation even after the championship was confirmed. However, Mugosa and Gerson were included on the replacement list on the same day. Instead, Kim Sung-min and Shin Jin-ho were listed as starters. Director Yoon said, "There is a chance"That's how I prepared it. (Kim) Sung-min can also grow only when he has time to start and play. It had to come out only in the second half every time. I thought it wouldn't be bad to let him run at this opportunity, so I gave him a chance. The rest have a target when Busan is a little weak. He said.

Regarding the motivation of the players, he said, `Let's do what we want to do.' I don't think I'll be motivated. So the game may not go well. First of all, I said, "Let's have fun without getting injured.' Regarding Lee Bum-soo, who will play in the league for the first time this season, "(Min) Sung-joon or (Kim) Dong-heon suggested it. "I got a lot better, and since the championship was decided, I told the coach that I wanted to go in today and accepted the offer."

On the other hand, Busan was in a position to beat Incheon and save the last spark of this season. To advance to the playoffs, Busan (54 points), which is currently ranked eighth, needed an unconditional victory to narrow the gap with E-Land (59 points). If we lose any of the remaining three games, our hopes of reaching the playoffs could disappear, so we have to pour our all into it. However, this season, Busan was not strong against Incheon. He struggled with one draw and one loss in two games. It is important to continue the atmosphere of a 4-1 victory against Gimpo just before. The two teams are intertwined under coach Cho Sung-hwan. Coach Cho led Incheon from 2020 to July 2024, leading the club to its first Asian Champions League. However, Incheon, which left the team in a severe slump last season and failed to rebound afterwards, failed to avoid relegation. In front of Incheon, which confirmed that it will head to the K League 1 again, coach Cho Sung-hwan, who is leading Busan, who has the hope of promoting to the K League 1 until the end, was standing, so more attention was inevitably paid to the confrontation between Incheon and Busan.

Coach Cho said of coming to Incheon at an important time, "Every game was important"Since we haven't accumulated points before, we have no choice but to play with more pressure now. It's Incheon because it's on the edge of the cliff, and it's not a part to discuss any team. It's a must-win game."

Coach Cho drew the line that Incheon's confirmation of the championship was not something to consider much for Busan. He said "Incheon is not the problem, it's up to us. Since the championship is confirmed, the performance may be better by playing without burden. Or the organizational balance could be broken. There are both aspects. It depends on how we do it."

He emphasized the first goal as an important requirement for victory. Coach Cho said, `The opposing foreign players can come in and give us a hard time in the second half. If we don't lose our concentration until the end and score the first goal in the beginning, it will be easier to run the game. If we allow the first run, the game can be difficult. I think we need to keep our composure and run the game until the end."

A little behind in the playoff competition, but there is still hope. Nevertheless, coach Cho expressed his will to focus on every game rather than competition. He said "It's more about today's game than the five-point gap. I'm not thinking about semi-playoffs or anything like that. It doesn't mean we win, but we have to win the rest of the game. The number of cases has decreased significantly. It did not create a situation to get ahead on its own, and it caused a difficult situation. You have to improve as a team, and if you do your best in each game and bring good results, you can make the playoffs", he pointed out.
