"Thank you so much"

This is what Gimpo FC coach Ko Jung-woon said.

Gimpo FC will play Suwon Samsung at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium on the 27th for a home game of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024'. Coincidentally, Gimpo and Suwon recorded 13 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses (49 points) side by side in the previous 33 games. The rankings were divided in terms of multiple points. Suwon (42 goals) is ranked sixth and Gimpo (41 goals) is ranked seventh. The gap with fifth-place Busan I'Park (50 points), the last line of the promotion and playoffs (PO), is only one point. The score difference between the third-place Seoul E-Land (52 points) and the fourth-place Jeonnam Dragons (50 points) is not significant. Depending on the situation, it can rise up to the upper middle. Victory is absolutely necessary for the promotion PO ticket.



Coach Koh, who is about to face a showdown, said "Every game is important. He has been scoreless in the previous three games. Chapman had difficulty with sweatshirts, regional defense, etc., but they fit well. The biggest thing is that Bruno comes to life. All the other players are doing well, too. I think the under-22 card went well as well."

Gimpo will use 3-5-2 tactics. Lewis and Bruno lead the attack. Seo Jae-min Choi Jae-hoon, Plina and Jang Yun-ho Ahn Jae-min will coordinate the midfield. Lee Yong-hyuk, Chapman, and Park Kyung-rok are in charge of defense. Son Jeong-hyun protects the goal.



Gimpo recently completed a 10,000-seat expansion of the Gimpo Salter Football Stadium. An additional 1530 variable seats were installed. It has expanded to a total of 10,037 seats. Gimpo, which joined the K-League stage in 2022, secured a 10,000-seat stadium in three years. The following season obtained the 'K League 1 License'.

Coach Koh "In this way, we secured a 10,000-seat license. Construction of the practice stadium will also begin. It will be completed in April or May next year. There will be additional buildings soon. The players all move in that direction. There will also be a meeting room, a player lounge, a meeting room, and a waiting room. Everything will be in place in five years. Thank you so much. The decision has been made. I really appreciate the players in the process of coming this far. Thank you for your hard work."

Against this, coach Byun Sung-hwan also vowed to win. He said " (the current location) fans will be most upset. It is true that it is not easy. Change is needed to achieve the goal we want a little more. The players fiercely asked to fight on the field according to the plan they had prepared."

Suwon is a 4-3-3 formation. Park Seung-soo and Son Seok-yong form a three-top with Kim Hyun at the center. Peter and Hong Won-jin and Lee Gyu-dong are located at the waist. Lee Ki-je, Han Ho-gang Cho Yoon-seong and Lee Si-young are located in Four Back. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Yang Hyung-mo.
