Lee Seung-woo (26, Jeonbuk), who made his ACL debut, opened his mouth.
Jeonbuk Hyundai won 1-0 at 7 p.m. on the 7th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium in the fourth Group H match of the AFC Champions League Two (ACLT) in the 2024-2025 season against Malaysia’s Slangor FC.
As a result, Jeonbuk added three more points, bringing Slangor to second place (7 points) with nine points (3-1), and succeeded in returning to the lead of the group.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which played its third group match against Slangor in an away match against Malaysia on June 23, lost 1-2, losing the top spot in Group H. In the match, which brought Slangor to Jeonju Castle, Jeonbuk regained the lead as Thiago’s first goal led to the winning goal.
During the press conference after the game, Jeonbuk coach Kim Doo-hyun said, “We aimed to change the mood through today’s game. I want to congratulate the players on their victory. It would have been nice if we had more goals, but we will do our best against Daegu FC with the meaning of victory.”
Coach Kim said, “It’s concentration. It’s a process that players make through training and they need to find confidence. It’s necessary to finish without being chased in the psychological part as well. Everything is geared towards the match against Daegu. From my point of view, I thought we should supplement our aggressive side to the extent that the players don’t feel pressured.”
Lee Seung-woo and Thiago started together. “I scored in terms of sense of play. I think we have a harmonious play. Big and small, I think we have seen a different side. I saw a positive side of the players preparing for the next game with confidence,” Kim said.
After coach Kim Doo-hyun’s press conference, he met Lee at the mixed zone. “It was so cold. I think I had a lot of fun running after a long time. I hope we continue our performance at the most important game (against Daegu) on the weekend since it’s been a long time since we won,” Lee said.
-It was a little difficult in the beginning because it was a long time since I went to the game, but I was able to play with good players and play comfortably.
He played with Thiago as a starter. Breath.
-I’m still in the stage of adapting because I don’t have much time to play together this year, but I think they will fit better over time because they have excellent personal skills.
It was his debut match in the Asian Champions League. When did he learn that he will start.
-I got to know him naturally during the training. I feel great because I made my first start in the Asian Champions League.
I think he had good chemistry with Kwon Chang-hoon.
-Chang-hoon and I have played together in the previous national team, so we have better chemistry than other players. He is such a talented player that I tried to help him catch as many balls as possible. I think he made a lot of threatening scenes by making good use of each other’s strengths. 메이저놀이터
In the second half, the home crowd demanded offensive football in a somewhat defensive atmosphere.
-Our team is originally an aggressive team, and we fully understand that fans expect this. The players are also training to meet the level of the fans, and we are frustrated, so we will try harder to score as many goals as the fans want.
The next game is against Daegu.
-Since playing against Daegu is not always easy, and players’ mindset changes when they enter the split round, both teams will likely prepare specially. As it is a home game, I will make sure to win.
