You have to shoot on target to increase the probability of scoring I will find more efficient and effective ways to attack in the other area I kept thinking about how to approach the opponent's camp It's a pity that he lost a point through a penalty kick in the first half but the finish seemed to be bad as a result Two of the three away games have been completed I'll build up as many points as possible and go home ※ This service is provided by machine translation tool "Is there a carrot like this?"

Yago Cariello scored the tiebreaking goal in the 80th minute to lift Ulsan to a 2-1 victory at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan, some 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, in the teams' final match of the first phase of the season. With 33 matches in the books, the 12 teams have been split into two tiers: the top six in Final A and the bottom six in Final B. They will play five more matches within their groups to conclude the season. The victory moved Ulsan to 61 points, now five points clear of Gimcheon. Ulsan are trying to become just the third team in K League history to capture three consecutive titles. Ulsan midfielder Kim Ji-hyun found the woodwork in the third minute and had a goal wiped out on an offside ruling about 14 minutes later. Gimcheon then took the lead in the 21st minute when Mo Jae-hyeon found the bottom of the net, past goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo. Gimcheon remained in control of the match in the second half, but Ulsan midfielder Ko Seung-beom scored the equalizer against the run of play in the 75th minute, as he headed home a cross by Lee Myung-jae. Yago then netted the winner five minutes later, converting a pass from Ataru Esaka. Ulsan head coach Kim Pan-gon praised his players for overcoming early adversity. "I think we proved that we deserve to be in first place," Kim said. "We've been playing the type of football that can get fans excited, with a lot of lead changes. We're taking risks to play an aggressive brand of football. I think passive playing is in decline in modern football." Chung Jung-yong, Gimcheon's head coach, said, "Our goal is to chase down Ulsan until the end. We won't give up our fight." In other matches Sunday, Gangwon FC defeated Incheon United 3-1 to remain in third place at 55 points. Incheon are stuck in last place with 32 points. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors saw their six-match undefeated run come to an end in a 4-3 loss to Daegu FC. The two teams traded places in the table, with Jeonbuk falling to 10th place at 37 points, one back of Daegu. Jeonbuk, the nine-time champions, are trying to avoid relegation to the second-tier K League 2. At the end of the season, the last-place club in the K League 1 will be directly relegated to the K League 2. The 10th- and 11th-ranked teams must survive playoffs against K League 2 opponents to stay in the top competition for 2025.

half goalkeeper Kim Kyung-min continued his tremendous performance blocking Lee Dong-kyung's decisive shot at the end of the game There is a player who has newly opened his eyes to soccer since joining the army and is performing very well Kim Seung-seop is wearing Kim Cheon Sang-mu's No He is leading his team's offense by starting all 10 K League 1 games played in the 2025 season by Gimcheon Sangmu and scoring two goals and expressed his determination to make the best year since his professional debut we have good performance in the early stages of the season "I think I trained hard last winter," he said "I think I still have a long way to go as I set a double-digit attack point as my personal goal this year I'm going to try harder so that I can smile broadly after the final match," he stressed who is active in Gimcheon through Daejeon Hana Citizen and Jeju SK FC he is showing performance that deserves to be listed on the list of athletes with improved skills in the Armed Forces Sports Unit following the footsteps of Lee Jung-hyup and Cho Kyu-sung "My skills naturally improved after living crazy about soccer The expression that I have opened my eyes to soccer seems accurate I'm trying to maintain my current life even after I'm discharged from the military I will not stop trying to become a side striker representing K League 1," he vowed is also working positively for Kim Seung-seop Gimcheon is the best club for strikers to grow It is also true that there is pressure to make the most of the goal opportunities But I think any professional player should overcome it I will be reborn as a player with decisive power here," he said whose strength is to break through the side with strong activity and explosive speed showed a disappointing performance at the end until last year Kim Seung-seop has transformed into a player who can score goals from any angle with sharp two-foot shots so I'm hitting hundreds of shots every day I think I can score more goals in the future I will do my best until the day when my name is followed by a modifier that says I have good decision power," he explained Another thing that has improved is defensive ability which requires strikers to have defensive skills Kim Seung-seop is actively harassing opposing defenders on the front line "I think it's a half-player who's only good at attacking," he said I studied hard to do well in both attack and defense," he stressed "The tactical understanding has improved beyond comparison with the previous one I definitely performed the play that the coach demanded better "I'm going to try harder to make the play that the coach demands in any situation." There is one thing that Kim Seung-seop is confident about no matter which player he plays against It is the physical strength that allows you to enjoy the stadium for 100 minutes beyond 90 minutes "I think he will be listed in the top three K-League 1 at least for his physical strength I've been trying for over 10 years to make my current physical strength As one of the driving forces behind surviving the highly competitive professional stage is physical strength we will continue to pay special attention," he said Kim Seung-seop expressed his ambition to become a winning bluebird who presents his team with three points in every game "What's more important than personal records is the team's performance I don't think there's a player greater than a team I'm trying to pour everything out of the stadium so that Gimcheon can win every game," he stressed He also expressed his desire to wear the national flag someday "Every soccer player imagines being a member of the national team," Kim said but I think I will have an opportunity at least once if I supplement my decision-making power one by one I hope there will be a special opportunity to represent Korea," he said The Pohang Steelers are set to recover their pride against Gimcheon Pohang will face Gimcheon Commerce at 7:30 p.m on the 2nd at Pohang Steelyard in the 11th round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 which scored three points in the home game against Seoul on the 27th with a joint counterattack goal between Giorgi and Oberdan in the 6th minute of the first half As there was no victory over Gimcheon last year we have firmly prepared for this game to restore our pride Flash stickers will be provided on a first-come first-served basis at NE and SE gates before the game for Friday night's home game It can be attached to a mobile phone and used as a cheering tool Ocheon High School dance team PAGE's performance and Yeongilman's friend flash cheer will be held at half-time and pre-match dance time events the MD Store has released new products such as short-sleeved polo shirts and cream shrimp that will make your Friday night cooler and you can meet steak and sweet and sour chicken at the food truck zone where you can order pick-up by QR code Pohang is providing free admission for the healthy hobbies and cultural activities of elementary school students in the jurisdiction this season through the business agreement of the Pohang Office of Education middle and high school students in Pohang can purchase tickets at a discounted price Tickets for the Pohang Steelers home game can be booked on the ticket link and website and details about the event can be found on the club's official SNS OneFootball's home page Search Settings Sign In Sign InJoinThe K League 1 Wrap-Up: Goalless Gangwon and Jeonbuk Show Steady Improvements | OneFootballK League United After a decent round of K League 1 action, one which offered little in the form of drama but some interesting talking points, columnist Nathan Sartain returns to offer a wrap-up to the weekend's action After an initially positive start to the year began to fizzle out for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Gus Poyet has worked to find solutions that will get the Green Warriors back on track that meant grinding out a 1-0 win away at FC Anyang Comfortable in dealing with any pressure from league leaders Daejeon Hana Citizen the Green Warriors grew in confidence as the game went on and smartly took two key second-half chances to leave with a 2-0 victory on the road Jeonbuk have now moved ahead of reigning champions Ulsan HD in the table and are again beginning to look like a side which might enjoy a positive transition season as Gus Poyet continues to adjust to the K League Following a midweek victory against Ulsan HD, Daejeon Hana Citizen looked to be building a sturdy lead atop of K League 1 Gimcheon Sangmu capitalised this weekend on a rare slip-up from the Purples cutting the gap at the top of the division to just two points (with the military side also boasting a game-in-hand) In the first-half of their 2-0 win over Daegu Gimcheon created a multitude of chances prior to breaking the deadlock via a long-range Kim Seung-sub effort but at the same time did concede plenty of opportunities to the Sky Blues who just couldn’t find the clinical edge they needed once the military side scored their second goal before the break with the best chances of the second period for either side coming from disallowed offside efforts In terms of the other potential title challengers Ulsan HD drew 0-0 with FC Seoul on Saturday in a game which will please the visitors more than anyone though it does extend the capital city side’s winless run against the Horangi to 23 games (15 wins By the law of averages alone, Suwon FC must be nearing their first win of 2025. It’s been a really slow start for last season’s fifth-placed side, a team which had up until now always won at least one game at this stage of a top-flight campaign since their first year back in K League 1 (2021) and such unwanted form will certainly begin to sting more given they’ve dropped points from winning positions in each of their last two home matches on Saturday there were at least some positives to take from a 1-1 draw with a generally in-form Pohang Steelers Suwon went through stages of putting almost relentless pressure on their opponents in fairness to a side which could easily possess diminished confidence they responded positively to being pegged back and looked more likely to grab any sort of winner With second-place Gimcheon Sangmu up next for Kim Eun-jung’s men it’ll be a tough ask to expect any grand turnaround to begin here but another step in the right direction could be beneficial in the long-run as Suwon seek to ultimately avoid being kept in the relegation places The last few weeks have been difficult for Gangwon is that the Bears currently average 2.5 shots on target per game (the second-lowest in the division) and only win possession in the final third an average of 2.3 times per 90 too and then in turn less urgency to progress the ball into threatening areas has ultimately led to an increase in pressure on the team's defence and the type of situations which can breed a lack of goalscoring as well as more room for opposing teams to impose themselves on a match Similar to how early in 2024 Gangwon needed to strike a balance between their potent attack and shaky goals conceded record in 2025 the Bears need to sacrifice some of their sturdy structure and return to a reasonable level of proactivity the loss of two of the team's best creative outlets in Hwang Mun-ki and Yang Min-hyuk is a factor and defensive improvements are worth praising but there has to be ways to create clearer-cut chances going forward and find the results that will take the team into the mid-table range a 90th-minute Reis winner gave Gwangju FC their second victory of the campaign It’s been a steady start to the season for the Griffins who have impressed in the AFC Champions League Elite and generally managed their domestic games with more confidence than in 2024 They’ll need a few more wins to really cement their ambitions - their four draws are the joint-highest in the division alongside Suwon FC - yet avoiding defeat on all but one occasion bodes well FC Anyang’s first home win of the season should give them some self-belief heading into some key games and perhaps begin to spur them on to having a comfortable enough debut outing in the top-flight Related NewsThe K League 1 Wrap-Up: Friday Night Football, Big Wins For the Top Four, and Daegu End Their Losing Streak #KLUPod | Marks Out of 10 After 10 Rounds Played in K League 1 Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Eberechi Eze scores as Eagles get ready to peak in FA Cup final Watch: Footage emerges of Huddersfield Town supporters turning on squad after 4-1 Leyton Orient drubbing Ligue 1 Review | Stakes raised in historically tight Champions League race 4️⃣ things to look out for in the Champions League this week The Champions League returns with a bang this week as the finalists will be determined following some tense first leg action.Here is what to look out for...⚔️ Match of the...

Their thrilling 3-2 win over Jeju United last time out showcased their attacking capabilities but also revealed defensive frailties that Seoul might look to exploit The winter transfer window has significantly reshaped both squads, though in markedly different ways. FC Seoul have been strategic in their recruitment bringing in experienced K League talents like Kim Jin-Su and Moon Seon-Min from Jeonbuk Motors while also adding Lee Han-Do from Busan I Park to strengthen their defensive and attacking options Seoul's defensive stability may be compromised after losing Yoon Jong-Gyu and Kang Sang-Woo to title contenders Ulsan Hyundai especially against a Gimcheon side that has shown attacking prowess with notable departures including Lee Dong-Gyeong to Ulsan Hyundai and numerous other players dispersed across K League 1 and 2 clubs This player turnover is typical for the military club but presents significant challenges for manager Chung Jung-Yong in maintaining tactical cohesion The midfield contest between Seoul's experienced Ki Sung-Yueng and Gimcheon's energetic Mo Jae-hyeon could be decisive Ki's ability to dictate tempo will be crucial for the hosts while Mo's disruptive presence has been a cornerstone of Gimcheon's tactical approach this season In attack, all eyes will be on Seoul captain Jesse Lingard whose technical ability and experience bring a different dimension to the K League His battle against Gimcheon's captain Park Seung-Wook will be fascinating with the latter's organizational skills likely to be tested by Lingard's movement between the lines conceding just one goal in their last four matches This newfound solidity will face a stern examination from Gimcheon's fluid attack FC Seoul are expected to field a similar lineup to the one that defeated FC Anyang with Kim Jin-su likely to continue at left-back after his January arrival from Jeonbuk and Cho Young Wook offers a blend of creativity and finishing ability that could trouble Gimcheon's backline the lineup that overcame Jeju United performed admirably with Lee Dong-gyeong particularly impressive in an advanced midfield role with several players having departed since that match Chung Jung-Yong may need to make tactical adjustments to maintain team balance Seoul's current 9th position in the table belies their defensive improvement with their goals-against column among the best in the division Gimcheon's 6th place has been built on attacking output rather than defensive solidity with their five goals scored in the opening two rounds demonstrating their forward threat The hosts have historically performed well against military teams at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, though Gimcheon's unpredictable nature makes them dangerous opponents. The visitors' ability to score late goals – as evidenced in their comeback against Jeju – means Seoul cannot afford to relax even if they establish a lead The betting markets slightly favor FC Seoul with odds ranging from 1.90 to 1.95 for a home victory while a Gimcheon win offers returns of 3.50 to 3.80 reflecting their underdog status despite their higher league position These odds suggest bookmakers are placing significant weight on home advantage and Seoul's defensive record The relatively tight spread indicates expectations of a competitive encounter rather than a one-sided affair Given Seoul's home advantage and defensive solidity combined with Gimcheon's recent player turnover the hosts appear well-positioned to secure three points Gimcheon's attacking threat means they cannot be discounted particularly if they can exploit the gaps left by Seoul's defensive departures FC Seoul's defensive improvement should provide the foundation for success while Lingard's creativity and the attacking support of Son Seung-beom and Cho Young Wook should create sufficient chances against a Gimcheon defense that has looked vulnerable The visitors will pose a threat on the counter-attack but Seoul's experience should see them manage the game effectively Predicted Score: FC Seoul 2 - 1 Gimcheon Sangmu FC Related NewsIdentity theft?

working as central defenders Choi Ye-hoon and Park Soo-il started as left and right fullbacks it was difficult to create shooting opportunities Gimcheon continued to cut Seoul's pass to the front as it built a solid defensive block Seoul tried to use the long pass to open a way Seoul had to sweep away its surprised heart Lingard fell with his ankles because of the hollow lawn but it was a scene that showed how the grass was doing on the day Lingard caught the ball in the midfield and solved the game Lingard entered near the penalty box by exchanging short and fast passes with Lee Seung-mo and Hwang Do-yoon Lingard's slightly poked ball was directed to Cho Young-wook Moon Sun-min and Lucas began warming up in the 32nd minute of the first half Son Seung-beom rushed into the gate and connected the long ball with a header There was a scene that could shake the crowd in the extra time of the first half who participated in the attack from the right Lingard connected a sharp cross of his best with a bicycle kick but it was a scene that drew applause from head coach Kim Ki-dong and fans Seoul took out three replacement cards at once Lucas and Ki Sung-yueng without Cho Young-wook Son Seung-beom and Hwang Do-yoon just before the start of the second half Ki Sung-yueng connected the ball slightly given up by Moon Sun-min with a mid-range shot Ki Sung-yueng's shot hit Kim

2025 (opening game) at 4:30 p.m Jeonbuk is planning to "rebuild its famous family" with its experience leading big clubs such as the Premier League and La Liga in the past he scored four goals in the first round of the AFC Champions League 2 (ACLT) round of 16 against Port FC in the 2024-25 season Attention is focusing on whether the K-League will be able to show "Foreign Pledge Ball." a new foreign striker who scored multiple goals in the game against Port and Jeon Jin-woo will support the attack in the second line Gimcheon came back with a stronger teamwork than last season Although recruiting the team is not free due to the nature of the military team the players who have been together since last summer have been working together As he ranked third in the league last season and achieved the team's best performance he is determined to show the military team's potential this year with his organizational power Coach Chung Jung-yong announced that he has been preparing more this year Suwon FC will once again try to win its first victory of the season Suwon FC will face Gimcheon Sangmu in the 8th round of the K League 1 of the 2025 season at Suwon Stadium at 2 p.m Luann and

games Gimcheon is chasing the lone lead Daejeon Hana Citizen Gangwon FC bowed again due to its lack of goal determination Gangwon lost 0-1 to Gimcheon Sangmu in the sixth round of the K League 1 of the 2025 season at Gimcheon Stadium on March 30 Gangwon dedicated the winning goal to Lee Dong-kyung in the 30th minute of the second half while maintaining a tight balance Gangwon lost again without scoring following the FC Seoul match on the 15th one draw and three losses (7 points) in six league games this season This is the story that Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho talked with reporters after the Gimcheon match I prepared well during the A-match break in March I made several good chances against Gimcheon we did not take advantage of that opportunity It was confirmed once again that if you don't score but I also felt once again that I had to score Is there a way to quickly solve the lack of goal determination I think scoring is an individual ability after all Even the same shot yields different results I think that made the difference between us and Gimcheon Our game management was not bad again today I think we should pay more attention to connecting chances to points Don't you need foreign players to do well to resolve your lack of decision-making power it seems that it was difficult to perform due to the sudden cold weather This is why Asani fought for 120 minutes at home against Vissel Kobe (Japan) in the second round of the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) round of 16 on March 12 and played until the fifth round of the K League in the 2025 season against Gimcheon Sangmu on the 16th Asani scored multiple goals in the second leg of the ACLE round of 16 against Kobe He played for 85 minutes in the away game in Gimcheon on the 16th Asani took the lead in bringing one point (0-0) away from Gimcheon by thoroughly participating in defense as well as offense it was really hard," Asani said after the match against Gimcheon "It was because I went on an expedition to Gimcheon a few days after a 120-minute bloody battle against Kobe." "The positive thing is that it brought one point in a difficult situation You have to do more than 100% for your fans in any situation The high number of games also means that we are performing that well." Asani headed straight to Incheon International Airport after the Gimcheon War It was a forced march from Gimcheon Sports Complex to Gimcheon Gumi Station to Gwangmyeong Station on the high-speed railway (KTX) and to Incheon International Airport by taxi from Gwangmyeong Station Asani can't help but push ahead because he was called by the Albanian national soccer team again this time Asani has been called by the Albanian national team since March 2023 Asani's A-match schedule in March is special Albania will begin the 2026 World Cup qualifying round in Europe from March Albania is in Group K of the European qualifiers with England Albania will face England at Wembley Stadium This is Thomas Tuchel's first game at the helm of England The showdown between Albania and England is considered the best game during the March A match that the world is paying attention to "I'm not going straight to England," Asani said "I'm going to work with the national team players in Albania and then move on to England." Wembley Stadium is a stadium of great significance We will do our best to show that Albania is a really good team," he said Asani made his debut for Albania on 28 March 2023 away to Poland Asani started as a right-hand midfielder for Albania and faced Roberto Lewandowski Asani is then constantly called by the Albanian national team Asani contributed to Albania's advance to the Euro 2024 finals and also played in the Euro 2024 finals Asani has been in Gwangju since the 2023 season It can be said that steady performance and growth in Gwangju made Asani an Albanian national team "I haven't played in Gwangju for a while last year," adding "I honestly had a lot of questions at the time." 'What's wrong with you?' and trying to find an answer It seems that each of them did their best in the position of a player and a coach like a professional I have the perfect relationship with coach Lee Jung-hyo I get a lot of inspiration from watching director Lee Jung-hyo," he said Asani and director Lee Jung-hyo's relationship has not always been good Coach Lee Jung-hyo openly expressed dissatisfaction with Asani's physical condition and training attitude Asani played only 20 minutes in one game in the first half of the K League 1 in the 2024 season Asani clenched his teeth and returned to the starting lineup Asani was asked what kind of leader Lee Jung-hyo was "Coach Lee Jung-hyo has a tremendous desire to win," adding "He is also a firm person who has a firm idea of 'playing Gwangju's own soccer." "I've never met someone as passionate as director Lee Jung-hyo I'm sure Lee Jung-hyo is the best coach among the K-League coaches Coach Lee Jung-hyo is a great passion for soccer Asani checked the time on his phone at the end of the interview Asani's cell phone background screen caught my eye It was the back of himself taken for the Albania national team "It's a great honor to play for the Albania national team," Asani said with a smile "I'll play a good game at Wembley and show Albania's potential and come back." "After the away match in England on the 22nd I would like to ask Gwangju and other K-League fans to show a lot of interest and support," he said Suwon FC) laughed for the first time this season Suwon FC came from behind to win 3-2 against Gimcheon Sangmu in the eighth round of the K League 1 of the 2025 season at Suwon Stadium on April 12 Yoon Bit-garam played a key role in Sabak's first goal with a sharp pass Yoon Bit-garam scored an equalizer in the 31st minute of the second half with instant penetration and high concentration Suwon FC won for the first time in eight games this season thanks to Lee Hyun-yong's dramatic winning goal in extra time in the second half This is the story that Yoon Bit-garam talked with reporters after the game I think the first victory must have felt very difficult The first victory was desperate in a difficult situation The Gimcheon game was also not an easy game The players were able to win because they didn't give up until the end It seems fortunate that it has provided an opportunity to change the atmosphere He scored his first goal of the season in an important game he not only scored but also showed dedication What did you emphasize the most to your juniors before the game I often say "mistakes that should not be made" to the players You have to take responsibility for every game It can't be helped that the opponent is good and mistakes come out Lee Ji-sol's mistake at the end of the first half led to a loss Is there anything you told Lee Ji-sol after the first half I don't reprimand you just because you made a mistake I think I took care to forget my mistakes and focus only on the game Lee Hyun-yong's dramatic goal won his first victory of the season How did you feel when you scored a come-from-behind goal just before the end of the game I think it's a scene that showed desperation The goal that tied the score 2-2 was scored directly My position is right in the middle of attack and defense The most important task for me is to act as a link to score goals I'm trying to maximize the strength of the players I also have an idea to solve it when I get a chance you want to run in front of the goal as much as possible I've been thinking about that a lot since last year jumping in front of the net seems to have led to a score I made up for the loss of a decisive opportunity against the Pohang Steelers by scoring in the game The coaches kept talking like they were teasing me after the match against Pohang (laughs) "Heading should be done accurately in front of the forehead." In the match against Gimcheon I think it was exactly right on the forehead Didn't you have a lot of greed for goals when you were young A lot of things are the same when you were young and now (laughs) I wanted the goal to come out as soon as possible this year the goal seems to have come out faster than I thought I want to contribute to the team's victory with as many goals as possible Four foreign players are responsible for the attack It seems that foreign players' performance is coming up a goal that can lead the team to victory must come out I think that part was lacking before the game I hope the goal that leads to victory will continue to come out starting with the match against Gimcheon The first victory set the stage for a rebound What the coach always said was that "the atmosphere will change when the first victory comes out." The director is right The match against Gimcheon was a match that could have been tied or lost I think I gained confidence from this game I heard that the team meeting was longer than usual ahead of the Gimcheon match We talked a lot about the analysis of the opposing team He also talked about how much he should play with desperation in that part I thought that if we trust us and play with all our might I think he must have felt a lot of pressure I wore a captain's armband because (Lee) Yong was absent in the match against Gimcheon." Looking back at the last games If you make up for your shortcomings in the Gimcheon match What was different from the previous game against Gimcheon Fans sang Yoon Bit-garam's song after the game Was there a cheering song for each team you worked on Our fans gave us their unwavering faith even in a situation where they could not connect with Seung-ri The fans sang my cheer song in the last game as well It's an environment where you have no choice but to cheer up Other players should also not forget to thank their fans It is not natural for fans to support anytime but take responsibility and repay it with a better performance Director Kim Eun-joong complimented captain Lee Yong and Yoon Bit-garam a lot Is there any conversation you had with Lee Yong during the difficult times What Yong always emphasizes is 'desperation' No matter what team you face in K League 1 We can only reach victory if we put everything into it and Ji Dong-won have a greater sense of responsibility I think it's up to us to feel the pressure I want to try to make my juniors show their skills more comfortably Kim Cheon-sang ranked third in the K League 1 in the 2024 season This is the highest record recorded by the managing director of the Korean military sports unit in the top league of professional football in Korea Sangmu has been participating in the K League since 2003 The man who led Gimcheon's sensation is director Jeong Jeong-yong Chung has been leading Gimcheon since June 2023 Coach Chung took the helm when Gimcheon remained sixth in the K League 2 Coach Chung made a dramatic come-from-behind victory in K League 2 in the 2023 season when coach Chung first experienced K League 1 he competed with Ulsan HD and Gangwon FC until the end Gimcheon will start its 2025 season schedule with a showdown with Jeonbuk Hyundai at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on February 16 whom he met at the Media Day held ahead of the opening of this season on the 13th Gimcheon will play the opening game of this season's K League 1 against Jeonbuk on the 16th The situation at the training site ground was so bad It was a land where you couldn't exercise properly All that's left of the professional is the result It's the manager's role to produce good results when you open the lid so you have to do well in the given situation Last year was the first time that coach Chung Jung-yong experienced K League 1 it was the best performance since Sangmu participated in the K-League last season by competing for the championship in K-League 1 The soccer community has high expectations for coach Chung Jung-yong this season as well I think that's why the results came out well This year is the second year of the K League I'm trying to approach the problematic parts carefully Wouldn't the teams facing Gimcheon this season come out after analyzing more I don't think they appreciate us that much (laughs) The teams against Gimcheon will not get down like the teams against Ulsan or Jeonbuk We will prepare more to respond well to the change of the opponent We will do our best with the players so that we can show what we have prepared on the training ground we cannot avoid major changes during the season this year I've prepared this year's plan since I made it We pushed ahead with the football we had been playing even though the composition of the players changed significantly during the last season I don't think there will be any big problems even if the player composition changes We acknowledged the mistakes and identified the new players' tendencies I tried to make the most of each player's strengths It was a factor that allowed us to rebound once again in the second half of last season Gimcheon could have gone down to K League 2 regardless of the results this season by extending the contract period with Gimcheon City by one year he can stay in K League 1 until next year depending on his performance this season If we had to go down to K League 2 regardless of the results of this season challenging soccer like last season would have been difficult The players who will play as the main players in the first half of this season may not have much to do with being discharged from the military during the season the players who had to play in the center of the second half of this season could have lost a lot of motivation it would have been very difficult to take the team's atmosphere well Gimcheon's home opener for this season will be held only on March 16 This is the 5th round of the K League 1 this season It's a good idea to play as many games as possible at home in order to hit from the beginning of the season If we perform well in four consecutive away games and play the home opener wouldn't we be able to play as much as last year What variables do you think it will act as There are many variables such as temperature What's harder is that it's a situation I've never experienced before I think it's a really important season to respond to the situation in front of you The growth of the players was as rewarding as the team's performance last season There were many players who grew further in Gimcheon and were discharged from the military And we got a lot of good results and we got a lot of fans That's why I told the players to "do as much as last year." Then the players will continue to grow and the number of fans will increase (laughs) It was an unforgettable day for Lee Hyun-yong (21 Suwon FC beat Gimcheon Sangmu 3-2 in the eighth round of the K League 1 of the 2025 season at Suwon Stadium on April 12 It was his first win in eight K League 1 games Lee Hyun-yong led the dramatic come-from-behind victory Lee Hyun-yong connected Andersson's cross with a header in the extra time of the second half when the score was tight at 2-2 It was also Lee Hyun-yong's professional debut goal This is the story that Lee Hyun-yong talked with reporters after the Gimcheon match Led the team to its first win of the season There was no win for the opening seven games (Yoon Bit) I think all the players joined together I think I was able to win because the older brothers led me well I went into a difficult trend as I was reversed 1-2 What was the driving force behind turning the game around did their best with the mindset of "Let's give it a try." The same was true of foreign players but believed it could be "reversed again." I think I only thought about my first win of the season The winning goal was the professional debut goal It was his first score since he made his professional debut I couldn't think of anything because it was so good It's the first time I've scored a goal in extra time while playing soccer Did Andersson have a good feeling when he crossed I'm working with Lee Ji-sol as a central defender the age of the two central defenders is lower There is not much age difference with Jisol's brother Perhaps that's why I feel like I can communicate better it is considered a defensive resource that will become the future of Korean soccer The goal is not to lose points in every game He is doing his best both on and off the ground "Suwon FC has a culture of buying coffee when it scores its debut goal." Looking to buy in a good mood next week (laughs) He announced his first win in the opening eight games the atmosphere had never completely calmed down I think the players tried to raise the atmosphere among themselves Who was the person that came to mind the most after the Gimcheon game I grew up with my grandmother when I was young There are so many things to be thankful for I think there's something I want to say to the fans who shouted out 'Lee Hyun-yong''s name Suwon FC Lee Hyun-yong's soccer life begins now I will do my best to make it to the Final A this season Kim Cheon-sang is trying to win his second consecutive league title in away games in FC Seoul Gimcheon will face Seoul in the third round of the K League 1 of the 2025 season at 2 p.m Park Sang-hyuk and Lee Dong-kyung will work together in front Seo Min-woo and Kim Bong-soo will form the midfield Park Chan-yong and Park Seung-wook will work together as central defenders "I'm preparing well every time," Gimcheon coach Chung Jung-yong said after smiling The players also prepared with a desperate heart," he said Gimcheon had one draw and three losses in four showdowns with Seoul last season This is why coach Chung expressed his desire to win the match against Seoul It's because I'm not good enough to win a team like this They analyzed more thoroughly and prepared more earnestly It was confirmed that the performance of the game increased little by little Gimcheon has one win and one loss (3 points) in two K-League 12 games this season Gimcheon lost 1-2 in the away match of Jeonbuk Hyundai in the first round of the K League 1 this season on February 16 but won 3-2 in the away match of Jeju SK on the 22nd Jeonbuk and Pohang will meet in the fifth round of the 2025 Hana Bank K League 1 which are suffering from poor performance at the beginning of the season Since winning 2-1 against Gimcheon in the opening match has been in ninth place (4 points) with one draw and two losses in three games Jeonbuk did not play in the last game due to injuries to Compagno (2 goals) but the participation in this game is also unclear the roles of Song Min-gyu and Lee Seung-woo have become more important Song Min-gyu was a major offensive resource with six goals and six assists last season and Lee Seung-woo scored 12 goals and six assists so he is aiming for an offensive point in this game 1 point) has yet to win with 1 draw and 2 losses since the opening of the season appointing Jeon Min-kwang as the new captain and Jeon Min-kwang should quickly consolidate the team's atmosphere and create an opportunity for a reversal Pohang took a break due to the postponement of the game against Gwangju last round so it will have a more solid reorganization and play in this game Pohang needs to improve both offense and defense as it has one point and five runs in three games this season Striker Giorgi left a disappointment in scoring ability with four goals and three assists in 34 games last season but he contributed to Pohang's victory at an important moment by scoring in the Korea Cup final As this season marks the second year in Pohang new captain Jeon Min-kwang should increase his defensive organization to minimize runs Jeonbuk and Pohang's opponents last season were tight with one win The first face-off of the season between the two teams will be held at 4:30 p.m ■ Team of Round: Gimcheon with Scoring Power 7 points) won 3-1 against Anyang in the fourth round continuing its unbeaten record (2 wins and 1 draw) for three consecutive games What stood out in the game was

side Gimcheon hit Anyang's goal with constant attack attempts throughout the game Gimcheon has scored the most goals among all K League 1 teams by scoring seven goals in four games and the various

of the 2022 season and played for three years until the 2024 season scoring 23 goals and 17 assists in 87 games he has already scored three goals and one assist in four games The value of Ramas can be confirmed through various additional attack data Ramas is listed at the top of various additional attack data Daegu has the second-highest number of team goals (6 goals) after Gimcheon and Ramas' offensive power can be maximized if domestic strikers such as Jung Jae-sang and Ko Jae-hyun add strength Anyang was slightly ahead of both teams with three wins The first game of this season between
