Coach Lee Jung-hyo, who has to play in Yongin, not in ACLE Gwangju, is sorry for the players, I hope they don't fall for it this time around.'
"Heoyul, you're hungry as a striker."

This was explained by Gwangju FC coach Lee Jung-hyo. Gwangju will play FC Seoul in the 33rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024" at Gwangju Football Stadium on the 6th. It's the final game of the regular league, but Gwangju's fate has already been decided. Gwangju went down to Final B.

But there is no time to cry. Gwangju should enter the Remain fight. Gwangju, which has 40 points, has only five points difference from Daegu FC, ranked 10th, which is the last line of relegation. It is difficult to predict how the situation will turn out if one or two games are twisted.

In Gwangju, Heo Yul and Choi Kyung-rok will play as two-top players. Lee Hee-kyun, Jung Ho-yeon, Park Tae-joon and Jung Ji-hoon stand in the waistline. The four-back is made up of Lee Min-ki, Byun Jun-su, Ahn Young-gyu, and Kim Jin-ho. Kim Kyung-min protects the goal. Asani and Gabriel start on the bench.

Coach Lee, who returned from the Asian Champions League, said, `It's hard for me, but it's going to be hard for the players, too. Fortunately, we went on an away trip and had fun playing the soccer we wanted for that part because the ground was good. It's physically and mentally difficult, but I've definitely changed my mood. I think it'll be okay in that way."

Gwangju has recently used Heo Yul as a striker again. Director Lee "I thought I'd do a good job. There was hunger when the player saw the defense and came as a striker. I think I've experienced it as a defender and I'm using it well in the center forward"Huh-yul has many options. I think I can make a choice aggressively and tactically."

I don't know what the coach thought about the opponent Seoul's sudden use of Kim Jin-ya as a starter on the day "I don't know what he thought, but he seems to have used Kim Jin-ya defensively to play a lot on the left. I think we need to see if we can stand with a sweatshirt or not use the space. I told the players that I would give them a signal between the two options."

Gwangju set up its lineup only in Korea on this day. The director is trying to get a grip. As we rotate the rotation, we are going to play the league and the Acham without injury in consideration of physical problems and injury concerns.

Finally, when the grass story came out again, director Lee sighed. Gwangju has to play the Asian Champions League game at Yongin Mir Stadium, far from its home stadium, due to grass problems. Director Lee "I think today's interview will be long. My heart aches. I feel bad for the player. If the performance is not good, the director is responsible. If the lawn or stadium is bad, the management entity is responsible. Over time, the civic team changes to a four-year cycle. Then, after the change, he says, let's get away with it for a while. If you do well this year, I'll change it next year, but you can do it first and hold the director accountable. I hope we can go with the idea of producing results."

Regarding the points against Seoul, he said, `I think the team with good offense and defense conversion or second ball response will have a result rather than flash today because the ground is in that shape.'
