Seoul has made a difference. It's the banks that catch the eye. Seoul, which sent Lee Il-Chenko ahead of this season, devoted its heart and soul to recruiting a new foreign striker. That's why it's Banks that he recruited. A former top scorer in the Romanian league, Banks is a striker with both strength and height. He was named on the bench list. Seoul put Cho Young-wook on the front line, and Jeong Seung-won, Lingard, and Son Seung-beom were dispatched to the second line. Hwang Do-yoon and Lee Seung-mo were in the midfield. Kim Jin-soo, Kim Joo-sung, Yazan, and Choi Jun made the four-back. Kang Hyun-moo defended the goal. Lucas, Moon Sun-min, Ki Sung-yueng, and Kang Sung-jin started on the bench.

Gimcheon put Lee Dong-kyung and Park Sang-hyuk as two top players. Kim Seung-seop, Seo Min-woo, Kim Bong-soo and Lee Dong-joon were in the waistline. The four backs were composed by Park Soo-il, Park Seung-wook, Park Chan-yong, and Choi Ye-hoon. Kim Dong-heon wore goalkeeper gloves. Yoo Kang-hyun, Won Ki-jong, Mo Jae-hyun, Kim Dae-won, and Lee Seung-won were on the bench.

Coach Kim Ki-dong, who met before the game, said of Banks, `It was only three days, so I couldn't even adjust to the time difference. I did some training, but it's been a while since I played, so my condition hasn't improved. I think we should give some time to spare. Still, the reason why he included it on the list is to make him feel the atmosphere of the field and the team atmosphere quickly. I included it for now to help quickly." Then, as to whether to put it in or not, we need to look at the flow. In the case of Yazan, he only put the first game on the list, not let him play. I think we have to judge by looking at the part of the game that is going on.

The key to this day is the blockade of Lee Dong-kyung. Coach Kim said, `It is no exaggeration to say that Gimcheon is a team of Tokyo now, and everything is done from Tokyo. I prepared to pay attention to the defense." Finally, head coach Kim said "If the game goes as intended in the first half, I think it will be a match in the second half."

Coach Chung Jung-yong said, `The winner is Tokyo vs. Lingard. How do we stop them. I don't think Seoul or we'll have a bad performance. The important thing is to produce results. The ability to make results like Daejeon's resident regulation is actually lacking in this area. We're not focused on one person, but various players are doing it, and I think the key today is who scores first."

As for Lingard "Now I've adjusted, now I'm Korean. It's intimidating enough. Don't let the ball go in. There is a part where you can make a decision when it is put in. That part must be blocked."

Gimcheon never won against Seoul last season. Director Chung said, `Seoul is not easy. I always prepare. A leader always has to win, and he lacks ability as a leader who has never beaten an opponent. I think the players will do well. The strength of the economy is gradually increasing."
