It was a week that flowed like a storm. FC Seoul has undergone major changes. Former coach Ahn Ik-soo resigned after drawing a 2-2 home game with Daegu FC on the 19th in the 27th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023. Accordingly, Seoul appointed coach Kim Jin-gyu as acting manager. It was the best option in the current situation.
The time given to Acting Kim was four days. In the meantime, I had to calm down and prepare for the game. Of course, the opponent for the 28th round to meet at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 27th was Ulsan Hyundai, the unrivaled leader this season. Besides, it’s heavenly. After winning 3-1 on October 28, 2017, they suffered a winless run of 17 matches (4 draws and 13 losses). It was full of negative prospects. Acting Kim also encountered the expectation that he would “lose unconditionally.”
But it was not an obvious flow. Seoul did not lower their tail and focused on ‘good’ soccer. It was supported by strong mental strength. The result was a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Ahead of the game, “Our players are calm. Acting Kim, who was always dissatisfied, announced that “10 Kim Jin-gyu will play,” and everyone in Seoul was equipped with “fighter DNA.” Not frustrated by mistakes, they faced Ulsan with a play where they hit back when they bumped into each other and immediately regained the ball when they lost it.
Ilyuchenko, who was unable to use his strength in the ‘Ahn Ik-soo system’, returned to the ‘killer mode’. “It is full of poison. Acting Kim’s expectation, saying, “I think I will do something,” led to the opening goal (Season No. 3) in the 9th minute of the first half. But he wasn’t smooth.
“(Director replacement) is a motivation for Seoul. It could be dangerous,” said Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo, who reacted promptly. Ulsan, who used strong water to call veteran Lee Chung-yong back in the 13th minute of the first half in the 13th minute of the second half, succeeded in reversing with Ju Min-gyu’s multi-goal (19th and 23rd minutes in the second half) aiming for the top scorer.먹튀검증
Still, the main character was Seoul. Willian, who took charge of the second half in place of Ilyuchenko, made it 2-2 with a thrilling equalizer in extra time. The draw streak continued for 6 games (3 draws and 3 losses), but Seoul, which gained points in the Jill game, was clearly different.
