The meeting between Daegu FC and Chungnam Asan, which had only one K-League 1 ticket, and the head coaches of both teams were determined.

Park Chang-hyun, head coach of the home team Daegu, said in a pre-press conference for the second round of the promotion playoff (PO) of the 'Hana Bank K League 2024' held at DGB Daegu Bank Park at 2 p.m. on the 1st. `I think the second round depends on how well you prepare mentally. I hope we don't lead the game as we want and go to extra time. I prepared for the game with positive thoughts"He stressed that he would finish the game in 90 minutes."

Daegu lost 3 to 4 in the first round of the promotion PO against Chungnam Asan, the second-ranked team in the K League 2, at Cheonan Stadium on the 28th of last month. The relegation will be confirmed just by drawing on this day. The only way Daegu survived is victory. Since the away multi-scoring principle does not apply to the promotion PO, a 1-0 victory will lead to overtime.



Coach Park said, `When I look back on the first game, there was a scene where I felt sorry for my defensive response because I was careless or complacent. However, I heard that there have been several processes of creating chances as we want, just like when players play practice games with college teams. "For normal game management, if the first goal is scored early, there will be room for it. I think if the time gets longer, there will be an irrationality and it will get busy. If we take the ball away from a high position and score, it's a team that can score a lot as well."

Coach Park made bold changes compared to the first-round lineup. 'Ace' Cesinha leads the attack with politician Ahn Chang-min. Edgar Ko Jae-hyun, who started in the first game, starts on the bench for now. Jang Sung-won will fill the position of Hong Chul, who was out due to injury. Jang Sung-won, Lee Yong-rae, Park Se-jin, and Hwang Jae-won form the midfield. Kaio, Yoshino and Kim Jin-hyuk will play three-backs, while Oh Seung-hoon will wear goalkeeper gloves. Choi Young will be benched by Ko Myung-seok, Lee Chan-dong, Kim Jung-hyun, Edgar, and Ko Jae-hyun, Jeong Jae-sang. Park Jin-young was excluded from the entry.



Coach Park said "I thought Edgar's recovery would be slow because he played the whole game. In addition, we used Ahn Chang-min to apply pressing from the front. Chang-nim is good at providing and fighting, and he decided to believe by scoring goals well in Team B. He explained the background of the change in the offense.

Asked if he had ordered anything from Cesinha, who scored multiple goals in the first game and set the stage for the chase, "There is no separate." All you have to do is score goals as usual. Cesinha and Edgar have different grit, so I think they will be more committed to the team today as wellexpected "

Coach Kim tilted his head when he saw the Daegu lineup. Edgar, who bullied Chungnam Asan's defense in the first game, was not selected. Director Kim said, `Honestly, it's a little questionable. Since our defenders are not tall, it is quite burdensome for players like Edgar to come in. I would have seen our players feel pressured in Game 1.... It's a favorable condition for us, but I'm also worried that there's some hidden intention behind it."

Coach Kim will put forward Park Dae-hoon and Juningyo as the leading players in the first round of the attack. Park Se-jin, Kim Seung-ho, Kang Min-gyu, and Hwang Ki-wook will set up a midfield team, while Kim Joo-sung, Lee Eun-beom, Choi Hee-won, and Kang Jun-hyuk will take charge of the four-back. Shin Song-hoon protects the goal. Park Han-geun, Junyoung Jang Lee Hak-min, Ahn Yong-woo, Choi Chi-won, Denison, and Jose wait for the order to start on the bench.

On the background that did not change the lineup much unlike Daegu, "We are not the depth to change the lineup depending on the game. If the players do well, they can maintain that game (power) is a disadvantage and an advantage for us." When asked about Juninho's condition, "That's fine. Today, I made an uncharacteristic order to Juninho, Denison, and Jose. He said, "The opponent may come out rough, so I absolutely told him to play as a team."

Coach Kim is in an advantageous situation where he can draw, but he plans to try to win promotion to the first division with 'No Puckoo Offensive Football'. He said "There's no defense today. It's forward pressure like the first game. We scored a lot of goals when the forward pressure was good. I will play with the idea that if I score one goal today, I will score two goals again,' he said. "Let's have confidence in the players but not be complacent." He also told me to erase the word 'no way' from my mind. He stressed that the speed at which the ball comes in is faster for the K League 1 teams."

Unlike coach Park, coach Kim had some extra time in mind. "I'm thinking of an extended war. He also trained for a penalty shootout. I don't know what the game will be like. If we go to extra time, we may be at a disadvantage in the squad depth, but we can also do well." Whose hand will the goddess of fate take?
