Gangwon coach Yoon Jung-hwan praised Lee Yoo-hyun, who successfully changed his position to a midfielder, describing him as a 'new discovery'.

Director Yoon said, "Lee Yu-hyun's exercise and balance were very good"I used it due to a lack of midfielders, but I showed a lot of activity than I thought, and I found out that he was not a player without skills at all. a new discovery" raised the thumb.

Lee Yoo-hyun, whose original position is fullback, started as Kim Kang-guk's midfield partner for two consecutive games following the last match against Incheon. It was a card taken out by coach Yoon in a situation where the midfield vacancy occurred due to Kim Yi-seok and Kim Dae-woo's line injuries.

Lee Yoo-hyun helped Gangwon take control of the midfield with his vigorous activity and fighting spirit for 90 minutes. There was no way to pull out or back in a competitive situation.

Coach Yoon said, `We can put Hwang Mun-ki as a midfielder, but I think Hwang Mun-ki is a better match for the sideback role"The players are accepting these changes well," he said, expressing satisfaction.

Gangwon won 2-0 with Jeong Han-min's first goal in the 33rd minute of the first half and Kim Jin-ho's own goal in the 36th minute of the second half. Gangwon, which scored 37 points with a scoreless win in two consecutive games following a 1-0 win over Incheon, narrowed the point gap with the leader Gimcheon (40 points) to three points.

Coach Yoon said, `It's not easy to win against Gwangju. The forward pressure and build-up that he has been doing this year have worked well. Jeong Han-min's shot also took the ball away as intended and led to a score. There weren't many scenes where they made each other cute, but (we) are getting better in the hot weather. I won in Gangneung in just my second game, and I want to thank the fans."

Regarding the competition for the top spot, he said, `If you don't get greedy and just look forward, you'll be in a good position.'
