Coach Hwang Sun-hong, the head coach of Daejeon Hana Citizen, who is threatened by Jeonbuk Hyundai for No. 1 in the K League 1, vowed to wisely pass May and regain the lead.
Ahead of the away game in the 14th round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 against Suwon FC at Suwon Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the 18th, head coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "If we pass May well, we have time to do well in June and July," adding, "We will focus on only one game."
It is Daejeon, which was running alone at the top of the ranking table at the beginning of the season.
Jeonbuk, which has been undefeated in 10 games and has quickly accumulated points, is looking to take the lead with Daejeon.
"The No. 1 team is always challenged. I fully expected it," Hwang said. "It is burdensome to play in a difficult situation where an injured player returns and escapes again, but the key is how wisely we overcome the situation considering the pursuit."
He regretted that neither Kim Moon-hwan nor Bob Shin, who were injured during the Korea Cup match, would be able to return to the ground in May.
Daejeon, which has drawn the last two games in a row, will hunt for three points in three games against the lowest Suwon FC.
Coach Hwang said, "Although the opponent is last, the Daejeon players will not let their guard down at all," and predicted, "Suwon FC is definitely not a easy team. The quality of foreign strikers is good, and the game will change depending on how you control them and how you target the opponent's strong defense."
Suwon FC, led by head coach Kim Eun-joong, is aiming for the last place at home.
"I'm at the bottom of the list, but I'm preparing more to win points in every game," Kim said. "I feel less pressure because I'm playing with the leading team today. If I do well as I prepared, I'll bring good results."
In the Korea Cup during the week, he sadly knelt down to Gwangju FC after extra time and penalty shootout, but coach Kim said he had achieved the desired result. 메이저사이트
Coach Kim Eun-joong said, "I'm disappointed to lose the penalty shootout at the Korea Cup, but there were many achievements in the game," adding, "I saw the possibilities of young players. Our squad is not solid, but the game has given us a little flexibility in using players."
