Gimcheon only drew 2-2 against Daejeon in the 28th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' held at Gimcheon Stadium on the 25th. Lee Dong-kyung opened the scoring with a cool mid-range shot, but Gimcheon failed to keep the victory.
Prior to the game, Kim Jeong-yong, manager of Gimcheon, predicted Lee Dong-kyung's performance.
Lee Dong-kyung, who was Ulsan's ace, joined the military in late April and became a member of the managing director. Since June, he has played for Gimcheon, but his performance rarely rose during his time in Ulsan.
Director Chung said, `Doesn't everyone know about Lee Dong-kyung's ability. He is a player who can go to the national team. It's true that the form is not 100%, but the process of matching is..." he said, dismissing his concerns.
He was confident that Lee Dong-kyung was improving every game and that the trend would remain in the future. Coach Chung said, `This game will be better and better next time than the previous game. Today, it will probably be better than the previous game."
Chung's wish came true. Lee Dong-kyung opened with a thunderous mid-range shot in the 42nd minute of the first half. Daejeon Kim Min-woo's header cleared the ball high out of the box. Lee Dong-kyung, who was overwhelmed, fired a direct left-footed mid-range gun like a cannonball. Daejeon goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun was beaten without even responding.
After the game, Lee Dong-kyung said "Our team's Park Dae-won has a long throw-in. That's what I prepared for. I think it's the best option to solve it and come down, but I was lucky enough to get in."
Lee Dong-kyung said, `All the players would know, but when it hit well, it hit well with the feeling that the ball did not touch the foot. I looked at the trajectory of the ball and there was no one in the net, so I felt that I went in as soon as I kicked it"I looked back at the goal scene.
Lee Dong-kyung made the choice to find a way by putting down the pressure and committing a little more to what the team wanted to do. I talked to the coach a lot. A goal has a positive effect on a player to come up in condition. Today's goal was important to me. I think it's a goal that can continue into the next game."
However, at the moment of the replacement, it caused damage to the team and was upset.
Lee Dong-kyung "I was trying too hard to foul, and I wondered if my feet were numb. It was replaced as a precautionary measure, but I'm sorry for the team members for losing points in that situation. It's all right now."
