"The second half will be the match." I will make the victory through the players' concentration and replacement timing."

Cheonan City FC head coach Kim Tae-wan made a determination to break the winless cycle of four consecutive away games in Mokdong. Cheonan will play an away game against Seoul E-Land at Mokdong Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 21st in the 23rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024"

Three points are absolutely necessary. Cheonan has been sluggish with no wins (1 draw and 3 losses) in four consecutive games since the match against the Ansan Greeners (2-1 wins) on June 23. The ranking has also fallen to 11th place (5 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, 21 points). There is a desperate need to get out of the bottom line.

But E-Land is a tough opponent. In the first match of this season (May 15), Cheonan lost 0 to 4 even though it was a home game. It needs to be avenged, but E-Land is on the rise with its last two consecutive wins.

Coach Kim Tae-wan, who operated a 4-3-3 formation for the game, said, `We have to be aggressive because our defense is not good. You'll have to try to score first." On the reason why foreign striker Mota is waiting on the bench, "Recently, he continued to play full-time and showed his physical strength in the second half. I was often caught in the opponent's offside trap because of the late conversion. After being excluded from the selection in terms of arrangement, we plan to put it in the second half to explode energy at once."

In the end, head coach Kim sees the second half as a showdown. He said "Everyone comes out strong in the first half. The second half will be the match. When he fell physically after 20 minutes in the second half, he expressed his will to win, saying, "We will have to use the replacement card well in the direction of increasing the players' concentration."
