"We decided to show that Daegu is doing better than change."

K League 1 Daegu FC will play its last game at the final crossroads of stay and relegation. It entered the home-and-away match against Chungnam Asan FC, which was ranked second in the K League 2 and advanced to the playoff.

The first leg of the away game, which is destined for fate, will kick off at Cheonan Stadium, Chungnam Asan FC's 'temporary home stadium' at 7 p.m. on the 28th. Ahead of the match, Daegu FC coach Park Chang-hyun expressed his determination and strong confidence. "We have more to lose, but I'll show you the wall of the first part."



Needless to say, the importance of the first-round match in the promotion playoff is great. Therefore, coach Park launched 'Best lineup'. Cesinha was summoned again, which he had saved, and Edgar was also put in as a starter. It's a 3-4-3 formation. Edgar was put in the center of the front line. Cesinha and Ko Jae-hyun were placed on the left and right sides.

The midfield was filled by Hong Chul, Yoshino, Hwang Jae-won, and Jang Sung-won. The three backs are Ko Myung-seok, Cao, and Kim Jin-hyuk. The goal was scored by keeper Oh Seung-hoon.



Coach Park said, `Let's do what Daegu is good at rather than change through training and meetings with the players.' We have prepared a pattern that we have been doing well. "The results should come out" "Honestly, it is true that there are high expectations for Cesinha and Edgar. However, Korean players such as Hwang Jae-won and Ko Jae-hyun are also hungry for goals."

The opponent team, Asan, is unfamiliar. It was divided into parts 1 and 2, so we rarely met each other. Coach Park said, "(We've seen a lot before we confirmed 11th place. After the decision was made against the opponent, I watched and analyzed a lot. Our players will respond well by grasping the individual characteristics of each player`````````````````````````````````. However, there is a weakness in the height when looking at the loss. The first thing to do is let Edgar go is to target that part."



Then "Singya's physical condition is 200%. In addition, the players say 'Singya scores better on a cold day' I'm leaning on that part. If you go to Daegu with a victory here, Chungnam Asan may feel intimidated by the atmosphere. So I almost went all-in in Game 1."

The will to remain is firm. Coach Park said, "(K League 2) is not our place to go. We've had a crisis, so we'll stay and show better performance next year. I want to follow the path that Gangwon FC or Suwon FC went toHe promised to overcome the promotion and playoff and transform into a stronger Daegu next season.
