That was the smile of Seoul E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun. E-Land laughed at the Big Bang, which is ranked 1st and 2nd. E-Land won 1-0 in the 32nd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' against FC Anyang at Mokdong Stadium on the 24th. Lee In-jae's winning goal in the extra time of the first half was well maintained until the end. E-Land, the second-ranked team that succeeded in winning its first game of the season against Anyang, had 48 points, reducing the point gap with the leader Anyang (54 points) to six points. E-Land has continued its steep rise in the last four games (three wins and one draw).
In a press conference after the game, Kim said, `I want to say to the players and staff that they worked hard for the victory. Today's game showed high concentration. I feel good as a director because it seems that my will or heart has come out as a result. We narrowed down three points to six points. With the hope of direct promotion, he will be able to concentrate every game. The result of the game that all the players did their best..." Then "Tactically, there have been changes in the front and back, but it is difficult to say that it is the decisive factor in winning or losing." Scores come from set pieces when we don't work out aggressively. That is the factor of victory. I practice set-piece every time while preparing for the game, but I still focus on it before the game. As much as the score is coming out, I think I've gained faith."
As for Anyang, `I didn't think it would go this far. While watching the game, I felt that there was physical damage. It's not a team with so many mistakes, but I think they kept it scoreless because they made so many mistakes today."
As for the injured mobility rate "I thought I was in good shape in general, but I think I got a muscle injury. Seeing that there was even a sound, I think it might be a big injury." As for Lee In-jae, who scored the winning goal, there was an injury. He is a player who can play his role when he comes out. I had difficulties, but I was physically worried, but I ran well for 90 minutes. Thank you for scoring. Kim Oh-gyu, Lee In-jae, and Osmar had an age group, so it was difficult to have a summer. He said, "I'm looking forward to doing better in my skills."
Manager Kim said, `This season is harder than when I was promoted from Suwon FC. When it was promoted at that time, Jeju completely hit it out, and the playoffs did not play in the first part. Of course, the playoffs were tough, but not this much. The difference in points is tight now, so the overall difference in skills is not large. We have to do our best for the remaining seven games. That's how you can go up." Finally, I think we need to win at least five wins in seven games. He tries to win the championship with a six-point kick. If I win about five games, I think I'll be close to direct promotion. Asan, South Chungcheong Province, is also riding a good momentum, and it is important to bring a game that can bring three points by looking up rather than down."
