Director Kim Ki-dong's regret was so bad'



"The grass is so bad."

It was a disappointment for FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong. In the 33rd round of the 「Hana Bank K League 1 2024" against Gwangju FC at Gwangju Football Stadium on the 6th, Lingard scored one goal, but lost 1-3 to Hur Yul, Lee Kun-hee and Asani. Seoul, which suffered a bitter taste of defeat in three games, remained in fifth place.

Coach Kim said in a press conference after the game, `I'm sorry I didn't win when many fans came in bad weather. It was hard in many ways. It was also difficult outside the game. Soccer is a sport that scores goals. There was a situation where I could follow enough and change the flow, but I feel sorry. I rested well during the break from the last game, so I'll show you a good performance in the split round." Then "The stadium is in such a bad condition. If there was no grass and it was flat, I would be able to do it comfortably, but the players cared too much and even sprained my ankle. I was so careful that I couldn't pass it out. I tried to go forward through Ilyuchenko and Kim Jin-ya. I tried to do that in the second half as well."



As for Kim Jin-ya, who got the opportunity on this day, "Jin-ya did what I wanted well enough. In the second half, he went into the box and showed good performance."

Seoul is aiming to advance to the Asian Champions League. Director Kim said, `We need to be a little more confident. Rather than preparing with greed, you should play in comfort. I'll prepare for two weeks for what I lacked so that I don't get chased psychologically. It will be better. It keeps getting better. I didn't play the game I wanted today. I'm looking forward to it, and I trust the players."
