The K-League, which has been continuously held since March, has only four games left until the end of the promotion and playoffs (PO). As the fate of the promotion PO is determined this year and 2025, each team’s ace has a heavy shoulder.
Daegu FC, which seeks to keep its K-League 1 pride, is pinning its hopes on Cesinha (35), a foreign player who represents the league. Chungcheongnam-do Asan FC, which is seeking its first promotion since its foundation, desperately needs Juningyo (27), who joined the team this season.
Daegu, ranked 11th in the K League 1, and Asan, ranked 2nd in the K League 2, will play the first round of the 2024 Hana Bank K League promotion PO at Cheonan Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 28th.
The game will be held in Cheonan due to the replacement of grass at Asan Yi Sun-shin Stadium, which is Asan’s home stadium, although it is Asan’s home game.
The PO will be held in the first and second rounds. The final winning team will be determined in the order of number of wins, total difference, overtime, and penalty shootout. The away goals rule does not apply.
The role of the “solver” is important because the winning team is determined in two games.
Daegu has “Ace” Cesinha, which represents the K League.
Cesinha, who joined Daegu on loan in 2016, is a veteran of the K League for nine years.
Since joining Daegu, Cesinha has consistently achieved double-digit offensive points while undergoing intensive checks every season. Although he suffered frequent injuries this season, he scored 11 goals and eight assists, which is the most offensive points in his team.
Cesinha’s strength is accurate shooting with both feet regardless of distance. He is a difficult striker from Asan’s point of view, as he also has a sharp cross towards his teammates.
Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun prepared for the match against Asan by saving his physical strength, excluding Cesinha from the final K League 1 match against Incheon United.
Asan, which is seeking promotion for the first time in five years, has strong offense capability enough to rank third (60 goals) in the K League 2. At the center of this is Juningyo, who transferred from Gimpo FC ahead of this season and scored 12 goals and eight assists. 바카라사이트
During the last season, Juningyo displayed strength in forward pressure through active activities and joining defense, but lacked detail in finishing the game, and had difficulty in scoring offensive points. However, he advanced to finish in Asan this season, ranking second in K-League 2 in terms of the most offensive points. Some K-League 1 teams are keeping an eye on him due to his stellar performance.
On top of that, Juningyo experienced a promotion PO once in Gimpo last season. This can be of great help to Asan and Juningyo in the extremely tense promotion PO. Juningyo should play its part in order for Asan to achieve monumental promotion.
