In response, Lee said, "EPL (England Premier League) has opened." I watched the Arsenal game. You have to learn what you learn. (Looking at the EPL) I thought we were heading in a good direction."
Coach Lee flew to England after the 2023 season and returned after watching the games of Arsenal and Brighton, which he usually admires. Various attempts are being made to introduce the latest tactics popular in EPL to Gwangju.
In the match Lee watched, Arsenal beat Wolverhampton 2-0 with Hwang Hee-chan's team.
It did not specify how Arsenal's game was operated on this day, but it is clear that 'Lee Jung-hyo Football' and the so-called 'Jeong-hyo Ball' will remain the same.
Manager Lee asked the players to play strongly, "I'll eat all the curse words, so play hard by any means."."
Gwangju and Gangwon have both won three consecutive games in the last three games. The content is different. Gangwon showed off its powerful firepower to score 10 goals in the last three games, and Gwangju won the points with a 1-0 score in three consecutive games.
Manager Lee said "I think Kangwon will put strong pressure, and we will continue to build up in line with that." I'll see how long Kangwon will put pressure on me."
Jeong Hyo-ball has an aggressive color. Pressure and space occupancy are key points. Recently, however, there are more scoreless games than multiple points. Manager Lee said, `I'm more satisfied with the score without losing a point than with a large score. "I have to go aggressively, but in a situation where I have to play three tournaments at the same time, it's okay to be flexible."
In Gwangju, foreign strikers such as Becca, Gabriel and Asani scored relay goals in the last three games. Coach Lee said, "I look forward to Lee Kun-hee and Lee Hee-kyun's goal in good condition." Ahn Hyuk-joo, who was born in 2004, also added that he expects to score his debut goal because he is a player with shooting ability.

Coach Yoon said of Gwangju, "(I feel like the pressure that was hot last year has dropped a little bit. Recently, it seems to be operating in a stable manner"But it is important that the original players are well established and that they continue to do what they have been doing." Referring to the names of Jung Ho-yeon, the core of the build-up, and Asani and Gabriel, who are in charge of both sides of the offense, he predicted that the game will be decided by a small difference.
Gangwon is leading the way alone with 47 points from 26 games. Depending on the results of this round, the difference in points from second place can be up to four points. Coach Yoon said, `I think it's too much to mention the championship now. Still, there seems to be a little talk of that among the players. I think we need to control it."
Rumors are spreading that Hong Myung-bo, head coach of the national soccer team, is paying attention to Gangwon players. Director Yoon said "Only Hong will know that, but I think he will watch Yang Min-hyuk and Kim Dong-hyun." There is Jeong Ho-yeon in Gwangju.
Gangwon is enjoying a lot of fun this season with an anomalous formation that uses midfielder Lee Ki-hyuk as a center back and fullback Lee Yoo-hyun as a defensive midfielder. Similarly, Gwangju uses striker Heo Yul as a center back, while Seoul and Pohang use fullbacks Choi Joon and Eo Jung-won as midfielders, respectively.
Director Yoon said "Since we use Yang Min-hyuk, we use Kang Joo-hyuk...Choi Jun also uses it as a midfielder. Isn't Kim Ki-dong imitating us?," he joked with a smile. Coach Yoon said of Yang Min-hyuk, who replaced him at half-time due to a calf problem in the last game, `The player may want to play more, but he needs to manage it. Still, I've matured and grown a lot through 26 games."
