Coach Choi Yong-soo, who attended the press conference after the match, said, “The players showed amazing concentration against the team that was close to the championship. I’m happy to get out of the long dark tunnel. I need something,” he said.
The winner of the goal was Hwang Moon-ki. Coincidentally, in the last round against Jeonbuk Hyundai, I heard the bitterness of coach Choi Yong-soo because he appealed to the referee. Coach Choi Yong-soo said about Hwang Moon-ki, “He is a friend who scores precious goals when the team is having a hard time, and he is a friend who struggles even though he does not always show up on the pitch. I think I put it in,” he praised. He continued, “I think it would be an unnecessary consumption of energy to protest against dissatisfaction with the judgment,” and asked all players to pay attention in the future.
If we had to pick another lead on this day, it would be goalkeeper Yoo Sang-hoon. Yoo Sang-hoon saved the team from crisis by showing several super saves in the second half. He was born in Seoul and reunited with director Choi Yong-su in Gangwon. Coach Choi Yong-soo gave a thumbs up, saying, “Yoo Sang-hoon is a player who has been with me for a long time, and he has moved teams. He showed amazing saving ability in today’s important game. As a senior team member, he showed 120% of his role on the field.”
Coach Choi Yong-su scored his first victory in the third meeting after only two draws in the match against his former team Seoul. During the interview, I used the expression ‘a team dedicated to youth’ frequently. He said, “It’s a team I’m very grateful for in my football career. But as the manager of Gangwon FC, I focused on winning and strange emotions complicate me. In the world of competition, we have to win. The team itself, Seoul, is developing quite positively. “He expressed complex emotions.
Finally, he talked about Hong Seok-hwan, who made his debut that day. As a substitute, he was also seen holding his arm and talking. He said, “I’m a young friend, but when I look at it in training, I think it has potential. I think it will improve. What I told you during the game is that the opponent has good ball rotation ability, so I ordered a check against it, especially when Ki Sung-yong or Osmar pushed in.” explained.
