Jeong Ho-yeon (23, Gwangju FC) was shy but said everything.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) held a draw and media day for the semifinals of the 2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup on the second floor of the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul at 3:30 p.m. on the 5th.
The event was attended by four teams (Jeju United, Pohang Steelers, Ulsan HDFC, and Gwangju FC) that advanced to the semifinals, as well as one representative player.
In particular, relatively young players such as Lee Ho-jae (Pohang Steelers) and Jung Ho-yeon drew attention. Lee Ho-jae also provoked coach Kim Hak-beom and Lim Chae-min, saying, “We will win 4-0 (aggregate score against Jeju United).
Jeong Ho-yeon also showed off her unexpected charms. When asked a team she didn’t want to meet before the draw, Jeong Ho-yeon said, “Pohang Steelers,” explaining the reason, saying, “There’s no specific reason.” Kim Pan-gon, manager of Ulsan HD FC (hereinafter referred to as Ulsan), couldn’t hold back his laughter.
When asked about the probability of Gwangju FC (hereinafter referred to as Gwangju FC), which made it to the semi-finals for the first time in the history of this season, he hesitated for a moment and said, “80 percent.” He seemed embarrassed but confident. 스포츠토토
After Ulsan was confirmed as the opponent team in the semifinal, the team suddenly changed to “serious mode.” “Ulsan is a team where all players are armed with the best skills in the K-League. It is hard to say that we will focus on restraining one player. I think we should prepare well and block him as a team,” Jeong Ho-yeon said, renewing her commitment.
Gwangju, which reached the semifinals by beating Bucheon FC1995 and Seongnam FC in the K League 2, will compete with Ulsan to advance to the finals. The first game will be played at Gwangju Football Stadium on the 21st (Wednesday), and the second game will be played at Munsu Football Stadium on the 28th (Wednesday).
