Seoul and Incheon will play the second round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd at Seoul World Cup Stadium. It is the first league showdown between the two teams involved in the hometown. We have faced each other in the FA Cup (Korea Cup), but this is the first time we have clashed in the K-League. Even before the game, the reservation rate was so hot that more than 40,000 copies were sold.
Coach Yoo, who is in the position of 'challenger', said in a pre-interview that "Our team bus got caught 'tuck' on its way to the stadium. Isn't it territorial? The players walked in" blew a jock.
Coach Yoo said "It's a special game. I know the fans' resentment. Anyang's identity and direction remain unchanged. Anyang is not dead. You have to play confidently and coolly in the name of Anyang. We have to show our play that we didn't show all of against Ulsan. There are players in Seoul who are worthy of their name, but I will compete with organizational power so that it is not maximized." "It will be the first time for players to play in front of 40,000 spectators, but you can find confidence while playing."

The away team Anyang took the lead in offense with Mota and Mateus. Chae Hyun-woo, Kim Jung-hyun, Lee Young-jik, Kang Ji-hoon set up a midfield team, while Lee Tae-hee, Lee Chang-yong, Thomas, and Kim Dong-jin were in charge of four backs. Kim Da-sol protects the goal.
Coach Yoo showed a good performance in the practice game, saying that Mota, who scored the winning goal in the opening game, was `an expected player.' I shouldn't be complacent, but I'm looking forward to it."
Regarding the background of putting Ri Young-jik, who replaced him in the opening game, as a starter on the day, "Joining the team was late for about a month." The focus was on the match against Seoul in the first place. As it is an important game, I believe in Lee Young-jik's fighting spirit and ability."

Jung Seung-won, who played as a defensive midfielder in the opening match against Jeju, was deployed as a side midfielder, a more aggressive position. Jo Young-wook and Son Seung-beom and Lingard will work together on the offensive team. Ki Sung-yueng Lee Seung-mo will protect the midfield, while Choi Joon-Yazan, Kim Joo-sung and Kim Jin-soo will set up four backs. Kang Hyun-moo wears goalkeeper gloves.
Head coach Kim Ki-dong said "If Jung Seung-won, who played as a central midfielder in the opening match, had a shortcoming, he wouldn't have taken it out. I thought there would be a lot of advantages when placed on the side" explained the reason for the change of position.
Seoul lost to Jeju 0-2 in the opening game. Director Kim said, `It became a medicine rather than a poison. The contents of the winter training were better than last year. So I was proud, and I think it was seen by the players. People around me said I was a favorite, so is it true?' There is something I thought lightly about" As a member of the opening game, he showed good performance in the Kagoshima practice game. I think it was poisonous that there were no problems at that time."
Then "If you think about it, 5 out of 10 people have changed compared to last season. (Ki) Sung-yong also took six months off due to injury. Still, I wondered why I thought it was easy. He said, "I prepared again from the standpoint of challenging, not the favorite."
Regarding the historical first confrontation with Anyang, he stressed that he prepared for the game by focusing on three points rather than focusing on the meaning of the game.
About Anyang "I don't think anything has changed much from last year. It is a team that has a lot of attachments to Mota, and has good defensive organization and cohesion. Ulsan also missed a chance in the first half similar to ours."
He cited 'reducing mistakes' and 'scoring' as the result of the game. Coach Kim said, `In the end, we lost the opening game because we couldn't do it. The loss was all caused by our mistakes. If I don't make a mistake today, I'll be able to play well.' Then "What if Lucas had scored two chances in the second half against Jeju?" No matter how high the market share is, we need to focus on it," he said emphatically.
