This is what Gwangju FC coach Lee Jung-hyo said.
Gwangju FC won 2-1 in the home game of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' against Jeju United at Gwangju Football Stadium on the 30th. Gwangju (8 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses) has emerged from the crisis of losing consecutive games.
After the game, coach Lee said, `I saw a lot of spectators before the game. There is a lot of empty seats in the grandstands. I'm worried a lot. I don't think I'll visit the stadium either. I thought a lot of fans would come back if I played this game well. I can give a car as a gift if the average audience is more than 6000 people. Fortunately, the players put in a lot of effort. I feel like I've repaid my support. Please come to the stadium a lot and give us more support."
Then "I think we should do it like this." Whether the opponent gets down or presses you, you have to be brave and try. Even if we score a goal while hitting, I think we should take our own color coolly like this. If the players gain confidence and play this way, I think the results will follow as well."
There has been a change. Um Ji-sung, who is embroiled in rumors of a transfer, was completely excluded. Manager Lee said, `We have to prepare for the next 18 games. Will you watch this one game or will you try to play the league. If the wrong situation comes out, let's improve it, and I thought it would be better to get hit first. He explained, "I took out the players boldly because I was worried that they might get injured while going overseas."
As for Lee Hee-kyun, who returned from injury, "It seemed to have pierced his blood. When the opponent pressed, we needed a player who could advance. Lee Hee-kyun relieved the pressure with his personal ability. So it was a great help to my colleagues. The opponent can't pressure Lee Hee-kyun. There is a good opportunity for our players around us. I think I pierced my blood in such a situation. I feel good because I think I helped the team."
Gwangju will face Gangwon FC on July 7.
