Gwangju FC broke the jinx of Jeonju, but coach Lee Jung-hyo immediately seemed to have a lot of thoughts about the next game.
Gwangju won 1-0 with Asani’s winning goal in the 26th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 away game at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 9th.
He thus achieved three consecutive wins even before the break. He had no win at Jeonju Castle, but achieved his first win. At the same time, he ranked sixth with 12 wins, one draw and 13 losses (37 points), continuing his hope to advance to Final A.
After the game, head coach Lee Jung-hyo said, “It was a difficult game, but thank you for the players’ systematic dedication without giving up until the end. The fans cheered hard today, and I want to praise the players by doing their best to play a great game.”
“I didn’t know that I won an away match in Jeonbuk for the first time in 10 years. I didn’t care because every game was precious. I am proud of my players because I won an away match in Jeonbuk today.”
When he hugged Asani after the first goal, he said, “I had a meeting yesterday. I was looking forward to it because I was in fairly good condition. The players are starting to believe me, too. They have tried hard to help him as well. I want to compliment not only Asani but also all the players and staff members one by one.”
The team has achieved three consecutive wins in the league. “Three consecutive wins are important, but we had a high loss rate. Three scoreless games are meaningful. We have strengthened our teamwork. We need to supplement the details such as a single touch in offense and a target of the final third.”
As for Byun Jun-su, who returned from injury, he said, “The future is bright. Byun Jun-su returned to the game comfortably today because Ahn Young-gyu and Sun-sook helped him lead the game with good plays. I think Ahn Young-gyu needs a compliment as well.” 토토사이트
Regarding Asani’s consecutive appointments, he said, “Just because I played well this time, it is not right to constantly use him. I will also watch the next game based on my training performance. This applies to all players including Asani. Players who are good inside will also play in matches.”
He is now sixth in the league. Now, he is in Gwangju, which gives a glimpse of his hope for Final A. However, Lee will likely focus on upcoming matches. “It is too early to discuss (the qualification for Final A). We have another match against Gangwon FC. I think every match will be difficult. Korea Cup semi-finals will also be held. Coach Kim Pan-gon told me at the Korea Cup press conference that “I will only live today,” and he told the players the same thing. “If we don’t take advantage of this precious time, there will be no next game.”
