Professional soccer K-League 1 Gangwon FC failed to win again. Coach Choi Yong-soo affectionately criticized the team’s ace players.
Gangwon lost 0-1 in the home game against Jeju United in the 6th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 held at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town on the 9th at 7pm. The two teams, who had not won all season before the game, fought for life and death, but the goddess of luck turned away from Gangwon. In the 30th minute of the second half, Gangwon dedicated the winning goal to Seo Jin-soo, missing the game they had to win and putting off their first chance of winning the season to the next game.
Coach Choi Yong-soo mobilized all available offensive resources to score in the match. In the starting list, the offensive line consisted of Kim Dae-won, Yang Hyun-jun, and Dino. In particular, expectations were high for Kim Dae-won and Yang Hyun-joon, who played a big role last season and led Gangwon to Final A. Kim Dae-won scored 12 goals and 13 assists in the league last season, and Yang Hyun-joon scored 8 goals and 4 assists, playing the role of the team’s ace.
However, both players are not showing the expected offensive power this season. Kim Dae-won only has one help, and Yang Hyun-joon has no attack points and is in a bad condition due to a fractured nose. Even in the game against Jeju that day, the two players failed to seize a chance to attack and had to watch the team lose.
Some say the reason is that the two players are suffering from intensive checks from the teams facing Gangwon because they showed such good performances last season. However, director Choi Yong-soo had a different idea.
Manager Choi Yong-soo, whom we met before the game against Jeju, said, “I don’t think the checks (for the two players) are severe.안전놀이터 Those players are mistaken. “There is no big check,” he said. “Last year was even harder. But then it went well. That’s why mentality is so important.”
But there was love in his bitterness. I expected to show my skills in the near future. Coach Choi Yong-soo said, “The two players haven’t even started the real game yet,” but “I have so many things, so I’ll show them. Isn’t that football?” he added.
Meanwhile, Gangwon will play the 3rd round of the FA Cup against Chungbuk Cheongju FC at 7:00 pm on the 12th. Then, on the 16th at 2:00 p.m., Incheon United will be called home to re-challenge for the first win of the K-League season.
