Gangwon FC coach Chung Kyung-ho quickly found the answer and quickly reported his first win. Gangwon won 2-1 at home against the Pohang Steelers on the 23rd. Coach Chung, who washed away the defeat in the opening game, secured his debut win in Gangwon in two games.
It's a quick rebound. Gangwon lost 1-2 in the opening match against Daegu FC on the 16th. The result was disappointing, but the content was not good. It fell sharply to 43-57 from its market share. The shooting was also overwhelmed by 8 to 19. Director Chung also said, `I had a good reporting ceremony.' The weaknesses that were feared even before the opening were revealed. In particular, Yang Min-hyuk's Hwang Moon-ki, who was at the core of Gangwon last season, was noticeably less powerful on the right side. Gabriel was alive, scoring the first goal, but Mario's ability to fill Yang Min-hyuk's vacancy was not impressive. Overall, the weight of the squad has dropped.
Above all, the energy level dropped. Daegu's performance was good, but the Gangwon players' play against it was not active. The only player who played with the so-called light on his eyes was Lee Ji-ho, who made his debut. When he failed to beat his opponent in the amount of running, Gangwon's unique active soccer did not come out. Coach Chung, who held a press conference after the game, unusually "Gangwon seems to be in second place last season." He has shown that he can never create the same atmosphere as last year with this performance. This is why he criticized, "I have to run more desperately and desperately."

The key was the midfield. In the last match against Daegu, Gangwon made 295 passes. Only two thirds of last season's 415 average pass success per game. Coach Chung changed the build-up system. The build-up, which had been focused on Lee Ki-hyuk, became richer through Choi Han-sol. The number of balls directed at Kim Dong-hyun has increased significantly. It was also effective that Kang Jun-hyuk and Lee Yoo-hyuk were used as inverted fullbacks, and Lee Ki-hyuk and Kang Tu-ji, who were placed as left and right stoppers, actively participated in the attack, and increased the number of midfielders.
When he took possession of the ball, the right line was also revived. Coach Chung, who failed to create a significant opportunity due to simple attacks leading to Kang Joon-hyuk and Kim Min-joon in the match against Daegu, raised Lee Ji-ho's position to a high position and placed Kim Kang-guk between Lee Ji-ho and Lee Yoo-hyun, bringing diversity in development. Lee Ji-ho played higher than Gabriel and aimed for a goal, and even shot multiple goals, meeting 100% of the expectations. It was the result of director Jung's hidden magic.
Coach Chung, who was called 'Strategist' early on, overcame the crisis with flexible, bold, and quick fixes that were not new to him. Coach Chung must have thought "After the match against Daegu, it won't be easy for Jung Kyung-ho." Rather, those thoughts motivate me. Our game model, which makes it difficult for opponents with multi-layered formation and positioning, is still powerful. I think Gangwon is starting again"I laughed.
