The opening media day of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' held at Nuri Dream Square in Sangam-dong, Seoul on the 19th was hotter than the K League 1 media day a week ago. Provocations without boundaries between coaches and players from 15 teams and relentless remarks heated up the media day scene.
Lee Eul-yong, who was newly appointed as Gyeongnam coach, declared war that he would bring 'Chili powder' to the showdown with his former teammate Yoon Jeong-hwan, who collaborated on the semifinal myth at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. `It's good to see Yoon again as a leader,' Lee said. `We will play Incheon in the opening game together. Coach Yoon said earlier that he didn't want to lose the game world, but we won't be easily shaken either. I'll sprinkle red pepper powder properly." Yoon replied in a calm voice instead of counter-provoking. Incheon and Gyeongnam will clash in the opening match at the Incheon Football Stadium on the 22nd. Incheon, which is considered a candidate for direct promotion by forming a squad of 'post-K League second class', was intensively checked by other teams. Gyeongnam defender Park Won-jae said, "(He was demoted last season) I will hit the whip before Incheon adapt to the second division," he said emphatically. E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun said there will be no monopoly in Incheon. Incheon captain Lee Myung-joo did not hold back. Lee Myung-joo said, `The coach and the players all say Incheon will show good performance. But when I saw Suwon beaten up last year, I thought I should never let my guard downHe provoked Suwon, who is considered his rival for the championship. In response, Suwon captain Yang Hyung-mo "There is no provocation in my world to beat humility. I will play the game with humility."
Suwon was also attacked in various places. Hwaseong coach Cha Du-ri, who is from Seoul, said in a pre-interview, "'Seoul players basically want to win when they see blue (Suwon color). I'm going to bother Suwon." Lee Kwan-woo, the head coach of Ansan, said, `It will not be easy this year. Suwon is looking for promotion, but I don't think it will be easy because Ansan is caught in the first game." Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan responded with Mike Tyson's quote. "Everyone has a plausible plan. Until you're punished."
There was no top and bottom before diss. Busan's Jang Ho-ik made Kimpo coach Ko Jung-woon, who is also a senior soccer player, a 'target'. Using coach Ko's answer to the previous appearance ranking question, "Everyone knows that Kimpo (the opponent of the opening game) is a tricky team " Coach Ko Jung-woon chose last place in the appearance ranking, and I hope he will also finish last in the league ranking."`, embarrassing the director. Cheonan manager Kim Tae-wan told his senior manager Kim Hyun-seok, "I'm worried about Kim's health. "Why don't we come to Cheonan, have a meal with South Chungcheong Asan coach Bae Sung-jae, have a hot spring and rest well, and then hand over the victory to us in the opening game?" he said, touching Kim Hyun-seok's temper with provocation under the guise of concern. Coach Kim said, "(I was in Asan, South Chungcheong Province) I played as much as I could in Cheonan and Asan. I will use Cheonan as my first victory."
Cha Du-ri was close to being a pacifist in his first year in the K League. Coach Cha said, `The other team manager mentions promotion and advancement to the playoffs, but we don't think that much. "My goal is to impress that Hwaseong soccer is fun." "(Yoon Jung-hwan, Lee Eul-yong, etc.) I hope that the 2002 World Cup players will entertain soccer fans in their respective teams." As for Seongnam coach Jeon Kyung-joon "I learned a lot about the composition and details of the training while coaching together during the World Cup in Russia. It's an honor to face Jeon in the opening game," he said, heating up the atmosphere on the spot.
