Director Yoo Byung-hoon, who allowed him to chase second place, 'It's important not to be chased psychologically'
"It's important not to be chased psychologically."

It was the determination of FC Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon. 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. 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). On the other hand, Anyang, which had won two consecutive games, was unable to open the gap between points at the crisis and allowed to chase.

Coach Yoo said in a press conference after the game, `I'm sorry that I couldn't win to the fans who came from a distance even though it was an away game. The players also did their best in physical matters. It's a pity that the player fee and the counterattack we thought of in the second half were lost due to a set piece loss at the end of the first half. It isn't finished. I'll rearrange the game over the weekend. I'll make the players recover quickly and win."

On this day, coach Yoo carried out a massive rotation. It was because of the burden of physical strength. Director Yoo said, `It's not without regret. I don't think the choice is bad. Today's game was important, but I was concerned about the player's injury. When I talked to the medical team and the physical team, I decided that it was better for major players to be excluded. There are regrets, but there are no regrets.'

Anyang, which was behind in the first half, made a change in the second half. Coach Yoo emphasized at half-time, "What I emphasized at half-time was that I lowered the line, so I prepared for pressure by raising it first. It's hard to follow if you lose extra points because you lost first. Over time, he emphasized the pressure.'

Anyang's defeat allowed it to chase the second place. The psychological burden is inevitably increasing. Director Yoo said "It's an important issue. If you are psychologically chased, mistakes can be made. You can do what you didn't do. You have to prepare yourself mentally well. If you're in a hurry, you're vulnerable to the counter. He said, "I'll touch it psychologically well through meetings while reading it."
