“I wonder how far it will go.”
At 4:30 p.m. on March 3, the Ulsan Munsoo Football Stadium in Ulsan, South Korea, hosted the Hana OneQ K League 2023 Round 29 match between Ulsan Hyundai (Ulsan) and Gwangju FC (Gwangju). The result was 2-0 in favor of the visitors. Gwangju scored back-to-back goals in the 18th minute of the first half and the 10th minute of the second half to earn three points in the champions’ camp. With the win, Gwangju leapfrogged FC Seoul into third place in the K League 1 standings.
Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, “It’s the same no matter which team we face. They bring out the strength that the players don’t have. I’m curious to see how far we can go. I just need to play well. Gwangju analytics coach Park Won-kyo worked tirelessly to prepare for today’s game. I really struggled. I want to give back the victory today, and I want to thank the Gwangju fans who came to the game.”
Lee continued, “There are many things we need to improve. I’m still not good enough. Today, Ulsan was just unlucky with the goal. We had goal luck. ‘Hyunta’ came to me a few days ago. We had a meeting and made improvements, and the players implemented them well, so it’s a result of their hard work.”
He also had some words of wisdom for Becca, who scored her K League 1 debut goal. “Even though the debut goal was special, I screamed at Bekka in the first half, almost in nutmeg. ‘This is my problem. I didn’t make her understand and she still chose to play. Becca has something to reflect on. Tactically, we practiced enough and had a meeting. It depends on the situation, but I told her that her basic positioning was bad. In the future, I will criticize her with a little more nutmeg. 소닉카지노 Becca is a little bit Korean. I think I need to say something more to make her better.”
Doo Hyun-seok and Lee Soon-min changed positions several times throughout the match. “In terms of positional concepts, we play a lot of switching, so we naturally know what role we have to play, and we have to be competitive even if we go to that position,” Lee said. I think the players’ understanding of tactics has improved,” he said.
Finally, Lee said, “It’s important to write a new history, but the environment of Gwangju is also important. I hope the city will respond because we showed them. I also saw a request to build a sports field. The new mayor of Gwangju, Kang Ki-jeong, continues to make improvements for the athletes. It’s not the mayor’s fault. I hope Gwangju fans recognize that,” he said, adding, “I’m very cautious about the upcoming match against FC Seoul. I will be careful with every word and prepare well. It’s a two-week break. The new Seoul coach, Kim Jin-gyu, has done a good job with the team, and we will prepare accordingly.”
