FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong expected a better performance along with Jesse Lingard's lack of physical strength.

Seoul tied Incheon 0-0 in the opening match of the second round of Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Seoul (score point 1), which lost to Gwangju FC in the opening match, postponed its first win to the next one.

On the day, 51,670 spectators attended the match. It broke the record for the largest number of spectators in K League history, the largest number of spectators in K League 1 history, the largest number of spectators in K League 1 history, the largest number of spectators in K League 1 history, and the largest number of spectators in a single game since the introduction of the total number of spectators in paid spectators in 2018. It ranked fourth in K League history in terms of the number of spectators in a single game.

After the game, coach Kim said, "We met at an important time, either in Incheon or Incheon. I think we are even more disappointed," and looked back, "We are sorry that we did not win in front of many fans." "I think it was better than the first round, but we have a long way to go," he said. "We need to play 90 minutes and play without ups and downs." He added, "Since we lost and drew, we will prepare with the hope that we will win the next game."   토토사이트먹튀

On the day, Kim deployed Jesse Lingard, who was expected to play as a substitute in the second half, 30 minutes into the first half. "I felt the need for a change when I handed over the flow to the opponent in the beginning, so I put it in earlier than planned," Kim said. "I put Lingard in and brought it to our own flow, and I felt the burden of physical strength going towards the last minute."

Coach Kim said, "When Kang Sung-jin gave me a pass, if I was in good shape, I hit and went in, but I felt that I was lacking in that area," adding, "I think it will get better with the team gradually."

<Next is a question-and-answer with Seoul director Kim Ki-dong>

- Please give me a general review of the game.

We met at an important time, either in Incheon or Korea. I think we are even more disappointed. I'm sorry that we couldn't win in front of many fans. I think it was better than the first round, but we have a long way to go. We need to play for 90 minutes and play without any ups or downs. We need to keep pace with those situations. Since we lost and tied the game, we will prepare with the hope that we will win the next game.

- There were boos after the game.

Of course, fans would have liked to have a better performance and points at home. They couldn't do that, so they needed to take away the part. I understand. We need to prepare more.

- I think there were a lot of cross-passes and back-passes.

I think it was inevitable. As the opponent team is counterattacking, players could have been beaten if they entered the center and were robbed. They demanded that from players. When an opponent gets off, they have to pull him out. This is something that can happen in such a situation.

- I haven't scored in two consecutive games.

I talked to the coach about that. The problem is that I didn't score a goal. I need to score to win. I will work hard in training.

- I don't think the details of the partial tactics are good. - How did you feel about Yang's fullback.

It's only an excuse to say partial tactics when there's no win. I'll try my best to match that.

I thought about how to solve the game, such as set play. Lee Tae-seok got better in the offensive part. When Gersault came in, Choi Jun was put in. I played my first game and he did a good job.

- How did you see Lingard.

As I passed the ball to the opponent team at the beginning, I felt the need for a change. That's why I put the ball in the ball earlier than planned. Then, I brought it to our own flow, but as I went towards the last minute, I felt the burden of physical strength. When Kang passed, I hit the ball if I was in good physical condition, but I felt that I was lacking in that area. I think I will gradually improve with the team.
