"Come out to Gangwon!" How did Gimpo come up to the promotion PO?

Gimpo won 2-1 against Gyeongnam FC in the playoff of "Hana One Q K League 2 2023" held at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on December 2. Gimpo, which won, will play the promotion and promotion playoff 2 against Gangwon FC, which is ranked 10th by drawing 0-0 with Suwon Samsung in the final K League 1.

It was up and running in the playoffs. Kimpo, who has participated in the professional league since last season, performed well, ranking eighth in the first season. Gimpo showed strength even in a squad composed of players with poor finances, environment, and relatively low names. Nevertheless, Gimpo seemed to have its limits. He trained on artificial turf, his finances were still poor, and he had a lot of worries due to his lack of experience in the team.

This season, Kimpo exceeded its goal. Although Son Seok-yong and Yoon Min-ho, who were responsible for the attack last season, all performed poorly, the foreigners Luis, Juninho, and Pablo, who were recruited, all filled the void with their best performances. In particular, Lewis became the top scorer in the K League 2 with a whopping 16 goals. Lewis did not score more than five goals in the season throughout his career, but he shot a career high for Gimpo.

Kim Jong-seok, Kim Yi-seok, and Choi Jae-hoon showed high influence on offense and defense, while Kim Tae-han, Cho Sung-kwon, Park Kyung-rok, and Kim Min-ho, who are located in the defense, showed off their defensive teamwork at the league's highest level. Park Chung-hyo was located in the last room. Gimpo ranked first (26 runs) in the team's minimum number of runs (26 runs) due to its much lower number of runs than Gimcheon Sangmu and Bucheon I-Park, which formed the lead. Although he scored just 42 goals to rank eighth in the team's most goals, it was his solid defense that he ranked third.

Gimpo flew up as coach Ko Jung-woon's firm direction and motivation were given to the team, which was united by hunger and desperation. He was undefeated in the first round of robin, and after that, he did not go down and maintained his performance above a certain level, confirming the third place with two games left. Coach Ko Jung-woon prepared for the playoffs while clearly setting the tone and faced Gyeongnam.

Gimpo, which led by Lewis' first goal, allowed Won Ki-jong to lose a point, but Seol Hyun-jin's exit gave him a numerical advantage and took an advantage. Kim Jong-seok scored, widening the gap. Juningyo's sharp counterattack and Gimpo's unique strong defense combined to beat Gyeongnam 2-1 to reach the promotion and playoff. Kimpo is aiming for promotion while it's at it. The opponent is Gangwon.

Gangwon suffered throughout the season along with Suwon Samsung. As the winless streak continued, Choi Yong-soo was sent out and even after Yoon Jung-hwan came, it went downhill. It went to the verge of relegation, secured a point with a last-minute rise, and tied 0-0 with Suwon in the final match to rank 10th and remain for now. It's not over yet. It will play two games in Gimpo and the promotion playoff 2 to decide whether to stay or be demoted.

Compared to power and experience, Gangwon is ahead, but Gimpo, where the atmosphere is overwhelming, cannot be ignored. Throughout this season, Kimpo was called "a team that will fall one day" and "a team that is a step below us apart from the performance," but all of them fell to their knees with big nose injuries. It showed a twist and eventually ranked third in the league and passed the playoffs, reaching the promotion and playoff. Just looking at the atmosphere, it can be said to be superior to Gangwon right now.

be full of confidence. Coach Ko Jung-woon said in a press conference after the game, "I'm looking forward to what kind of performance he will show (against Gangwon). If we only catch something outside the game, we will counter it because we have to lose even if we fall behind. At first, he started with K3 and demanded the players with hunger and desperation. Since soccer is not an individual sport, it instilled that if you play as a team, you can succeed. I think the probability of promotion is 50/50. "I will play soccer that we have played without any pressure," he said. When asked about the probability of promotion to Lewis and Juninho, they answered 99.9% and 100%, respectively.

Gimpo has a sense of stability because it is a defensive team. In addition, there are certain weapons such as Lewis and Juningyo in the front, the midfield and defense are solid in organization, and Park Chung-hyo's ability to defend himself is reliable. Kimpo, who has completed all preparations for promotion, heads to the promotion playoffs. Gimpo, who has come up to this point by producing extraordinary events in every round and robin, has nothing to be afraid of. Kimpo is trying to achieve the promotion after two years of entering the professional league that no one expected.
