"It's the final match."

FC Anyang, which had been doing well, faced its biggest crisis of the season. After rising to No. 1 in the K League 2 on May 4, it fell to No. 2 in as many as six months.

FC Anyang, led by head coach Yoo Byung-hoon, will play a home game against Busan I'Park 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' at Anyang Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 20th.




Anyang has accumulated 54 points in the previous 28 games. However, he soon fell into a three-game losing streak. While Anyang was floundering, Chungnam Asan came up. Chungnam Asan won the match against Seongnam FC 3-2 at 2 a.m. on the 20th. Anyang and Asan, South Chungcheong Province, both scored 54 points. However, Chungnam Asan (53 goals) was ranked first in terms of multiple points. Anyang (42 goals) dropped one level to second place.

Coach Yoo, who is about to face a showdown, said, `Well, first of all, it's not the result I want. We haven't been good lately. I think it's most important to change our atmosphere quickly. It's gotten a lot brighter for two weeks. I prepared more, too. I think the match against Busan is similar to the final. I will put everything into it so that I can achieve my desired goal."

Anyang utilized a 4-5-1 tactic. Kim Un is going to the front line. Yoo Jeong-wan Choi Kyu-hyun, Lee Young-jik, Matheus, and Chae Hyun-woo are located at the waist. Kim Dong-jin, Park Jong-hyun, Kim Jung-hyun, and Lee Tae-hee are in charge of defense. The goal is defended by Kim Da-sol.




Veteran defender Kim Young-chan left due to injury. However, Kim Jung-hyun returned after shaking off symptoms of facial paralysis. Coach Yoo said, `Kim Jung-hyun is not 100% perfect, but he has improved. I think it will take a little longer, but I have my will. I think the player's performance will help the team because the team is in a difficult situation."

Anyang also went on a field training trip to Boeun, Chungcheongbuk-do from the 14th to 17th to change the atmosphere. Director Yoo said, `I went to an off-season training to change the atmosphere even briefly. The players are in a difficult situation. In order to change that, he emphasized that in the mental part 'If you do nothing, you will get nothing'. The training was conducted for two weeks, urging people to work harder. Veteran players led the atmosphere and prepared well. I think I prepared better than ever before,' he vowed.

It is true that Busan I'Park head coach Cho Sung-hwan also has a dark atmosphere. Busan has recorded five wins and three draws in the last eight games. However, the ranking was reversed at 2 p.m. when Seoul E-Land beat Cheonan City FC 3-0. Busan dropped to fifth place in real time.




Coach Cho said "I didn't even play, but I fell to fifth place. The opponent's record is important, but this game is literally each other's desperation. I know the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent and the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. As the opponent plays after three consecutive losses, he will be determined. I think our players should overcome that toughness with softness."

Busan is a 4-3-3 formation. Kwon Sung-yoon, Lee Joon-ho, and Pesin lead the attack. Lim Min-hyuk, Ramas, and Yuhei will coordinate the midfield. Kim Ryun-sung, Kim Hee-seung, Lee Do-do, and Kang Ji-hoon are located in the four-back. Goalkeeper gloves are worn by Ku Sang-min.
