It was a relief from Jeju United coach Kim Hak-beom. Jeju won 1-0 with Yuri Jonathan's winning goal in the quarterfinals of the '2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup" against Gimpo FC at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium on the 17th. Jeju succeeded in advancing to the semifinals for the second consecutive year following last year. Jeju carried out a rotation on this day, adding to the joy of catching two rabbits.
Coach Kim said in a press conference after the game, `It is a game where Gimpo home fans and Jeju away fans suffered more in this weather today. I really want to thank the people who supported me. Coach Kim was concerned about his injury before the game. Director Kim said "In the end, Lee Joo-yong was injured. It's a relief. In fact, I think this was a good shot in this situation."
Then "In the whole, it was technology and it was useless. Gimpo players played better in the water than us. In the second half, it was right to change technical players little by little as the water dried up.
Jeju advanced to the semifinals. On his future plans, director Kim said, `It's hard to tell you what we're going to do. I think we need to prepare for each game in the league and the Korea Cup." When it comes to income on the day, it was Yuri Jonathan's score. Coach Kim said, `If the offensive players score, we can gain confidence. I hope the distribution of goals by strikers will be diversified."
As for the upcoming weekend's match against Gangwon Province, there will be a lot of physical exhaustion. I put so much energy into it. It is more important to recover than to prepare.'
