Can Gyeongnam FC rebound through the summer transfer market 'Official'.

Gyeongnam FC, led by head coach Park Dong-hyuk, will play Seongnam FC on the 8th at Tancheon Stadium in an away game of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024'. There is a desperate need for a reversal. Gyeongnam remains in 12th place with 4 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses (17 points) in the previous 19 games. It is a completely different look from what was expected before the opening. South Gyeongsang Province gave coach Park the baton ahead of this season. Expectations were high. Coach Park is a veteran who has led more than 200 professional games even at a young age. In 2018, he also won the K League 2 Coach of the Year Award.

I opened the lid. Gyeongnam opened the game with a 2-1 victory over the Ansan Greeners in the first game of the opening. However, it was reeling from a 1-4 loss to Busan I'Park. 'Ace' Won Ki-jong entered the army and faced the worst. The highly anticipated foreign players were silent. In particular, he has been shaken by giving up four goals in a row to Asan (0:4) in Chungnam and Dragons (2:4) in Jeonnam. Gyeongnam remains at the bottom of the 19 league games amid the discord between 20 points and 32 runs. Fans also expressed anger at the current situation. Coach Park said after the match against Jeollanam-do on the 1st, "It is so stagnant that I can't say anything to the fans." We must get through this crisis well. I think it's my first experience as a director. Victory is the only answer in this area. I just feel sorry for the fans."

I've made a decision. Gyeongnam started a major reorganization through the summer transfer market. He held midfielder Park Han-bin in his arms. He also recruited striker Dongjin Park from FC Seoul. In addition, Brazil's Philippe Fonseca was recruited to strengthen the offensive line. Born in 2003, Fonseca is a wing forward with power and speed. Fonseca, who joined the team, said "It's an honor to be able to play soccer in such a good environment. I want to play soccer in a good environment for a long time. I want to do my best to help get promoted to the first division"I'm determined.

South Gyeongsang is aiming for a turnaround against Seongnam. The key is the teamwork of existing players and new faces. In order to do this, the existing 'Ace' Arabulli should play a role. He is showing signs of improvement by scoring two goals in the match against Jeonnam on the 1st. I understand "My goal is important, too. But the team's victory is more important. I will do my best to win the team. I want to repay the fans with a victory."
