Can Daegu FC, which is in the relegation zone with no wins in seven consecutive games, succeed in escaping the relegation zone in the second half of the year.
Daegu FC under coach Park Chang-hyun is ranked 10th in the league with five wins, nine draws, 11 losses and 24 points as of the end of the 25th round of the league. He smiled while ranking fifth in the league last year under Choi Won-kwon, but the situation has changed this season.
Daegu, which had been mired in a slump with only one win in seven games since the opening, has replaced its manager. Under Park, Daegu caught Gwangju FC-FC Seoul one after another, and then recorded another winning streak against Jeju United FC-Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, but failed to win the last seven games in a row.
Daegu’s Summer Steps to Be Disappointed
In the end, the team allowed rival teams to catch up with the rival team. The team has only one point gap with Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has shown signs of reversal of mood by posting two wins, one draw and two losses in its recent five matches. The team narrowed the gap to three points with Hana Citizen in the lowest-ranked team.
Jeonbuk and Daejeon succeeded in reinforcing the team through the summer transfer window, and are set to compete in the second half of the year. Jeonbuk has transferred eight players who have displayed outstanding performances in the league, including Andrigo, Kim Tae-hyun, Yeon Je-woon, and Han Kook-young, starting with Lee Seung-woo (10 goals and two assists). Jeonbuk has also added Kim Jin-gyu and Kim Jun-hong, who have been discharged from the military athletic team, to return to the team after completing the reinforcement.
Daejeon has also added 10 more players. Starting with recruitment of fullback Kim Moon-hwan from the Korean national team, Kim has had valuable resources in succession including Kim Hyun-wook, Kelvin, Martha, Chun Sung-hoon, and Choi Geon-ju.
On the other hand, Daegu, which has multiple Brazilian strikers as a loan form, only embraces K3 League Hwaseong FC Brazil’s central defender Cao. It successfully strengthened its waist by recruiting veteran midfielder Lee Chan-dong right before the end of the transfer window, but the move is somewhat disappointing.
It is encouraging that the multi-striker politician has returned to the team throughout the entire military, but the team has not been properly reinforced in its biggest weakness, offense. Daegu, which has only 24 goals in 25 games this season, is shaking at the forefront and showing difficulty in accumulating points. Veteran Edgar has scored three goals in 20 games, while Cesinha still proves his class with five goals and five assists, but other resources need to play more.
Unwavering defense needs to be supplemented as well. Daegu, which has lost 33 goals in 25 matches, has thus effectively lost focus and lost focus in recent matches. Notably, the team lost concentration and scored an equalizer in a match against Daejeon in the 25th round, which took place just before the summer break, giving it a chance to earn three points. 먹튀검증
To make matters worse, Daegu’s defense core Hwang Jae-won is in a difficult situation to play in two to three games due to an ankle ligament injury. Hwang Jae-won’s vacancy, which gave the team a great boost by playing the role of side, center defense, and midfielder, is emerging as a task to be filled with the start of the second half.
There are eight regular rounds left. Coach Park, who is preparing for the second half of the season with the goal of unconditionally escaping from the relegation zone, said in a press conference earlier, “I think we need to prepare well physically. We will analyze the scene again so that we don’t collapse on our own. We plan to get rid of our physical strength and bad habits during the break.”
