There is no satisfaction in Lee Jung-hyo’s dictionary.
Gwangju FC won 7-3 against Yokohama F. Marinos in the first round of the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) 2024-25 season at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on September 17.
It was Gwangju’s debut match in Asia. Gwangju led by Asani’s first goal in the first minute of the first half. In the 14th minute of the first half, Oh Soo-sung swung through the Yokohama net with a header. Gwangju dedicated the chasing goal to Yokohama winger Eubert at the 33rd minute of the first half to end the first half 2-1.
There was no “keeping” in the Gwangju dictionary led by head coach Lee Jung-hyo.
Gwangju unleashed unlimited pressure and infinite attacks. Gwangju scored five goals in the second half alone. With Asani completing the hat trick, Becca, Lee Hee-kyun and Gabriel scored.
We heard the story of director Lee Jung-hyo, who finished his fantastic ACLE debut.
Q. Defeated Yokohama 7-3 in their ACLE debut.
It is a historical day for Gwangju. It is my first time on the Asian stage. Many fans came to the first game. Our players did a good job in front of the fans. Fans must have seen how proud our players are. Some of you may have watched it on the spot, and some of you may have watched it on TV or online. Thank you to the players. The manager worked really hard while preparing for this game. I did a lot of things by myself. I am truly grateful to the manager.
Q. It was a 7-3 victory. What part of the victory do you think led to the victory.
“We played as we prepared. We played it tactically well. We showed our team Gwangju and what kind of soccer they played at the Asian Games today. I think this was an opportunity to promote Gwangju to Asia. However, I personally think I did a really good job for 85 minutes. After that, I was disappointed. I lost three points. I am so angry that I lost three points. 안전놀이터
Results don’t always bring happiness. Today’s results are not satisfactory. I’m not in a good mood. K League 1 schedules are important for us. Today’s victory will motivate us to prepare for the next game. However, we have to improve further. I want the players to think more about the management of the game. I thought today’s game was the final. I thought today was the day and we didn’t play. I want you to think about this.
Another injured person was injured. As a coach, I feel really sad. We scored multiple goals against Yokohama because we took on the challenge with courage.
