Daegu lost 1-3 to Incheon in the 38th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' held at Daegu DGB Daegu Bank Park on the 24th.
Daegu, which is scheduled for the promotion playoff against Asan, Chungcheongnam-do on the 28th, excluded a large number of key players from the match against Incheon. Cesinha and Edgar were completely removed from the list, and Hwang Jae-won was on the bench.
Daegu was 11th until the 37th round, one point behind 10th-ranked Jeonbuk.
The 11th place in the K League 1 will face the second place in the K League 2 and the promotion playoff right away.
The 10th place in the K League 1 will play the K League 2 playoff winner and the promotion playoff. The semi-playoff winners of the K League 2 ranking 5th and 4th will clash with the 3rd place. The winning team here will challenge for the 10th place in the K League 1.
Of course, 10th place is advantageous in terms of objective power and physical strength.
But Daegu chose stability over adventure. First of all, the possibility of ranking 10th on his own was low. Even if Daegu wins, if Jeonbuk wins, the ranking will not change. It may be reasonable to make a choice and focus on the two rabbits if you overdo it and miss them.
Ahead of the game, Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun said, `I may not be able to appear in important games after getting hurt for no reason. As the emphasis was placed on the promotion and playoffs, the team focused on young players (today). I was forced to prepare like this. Today's game is important, but the playoff is even more important, so you have to match your condition", he explained.
Coincidentally, if Daegu won as Jeonbuk drew on the day, it could have turned the tables, but it is a result theory.
Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun bowed his head, saying, `I'm sorry that I couldn't give the last victory to many fans who came to the stadium first.'

Regarding the view that he gave up the fight for 10th place, "I can't tell you that I put weight on it. If I do my best and win, I thought I would accept the match as soon as I won. There were scenes of young players making mistakes. As a result, I lost the game itself, so I lost a lot. I wanted to win. I'm heartbroken that an unexpected mistake ensued."
As for Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, "It's a team that works very hard." It is expected that he will put a little more weight on defense than us. They also have good foreign player skills, so they should be prepared. I saw a lot of lost points, but there were a lot of cross corner kick set-piece situations. I'll focus on that part", he predicted.
