It may take time to reorganize the team, but Seongnam set promotion as their goal this season.
That is why the opening match was so important. It was a place to gauge the future atmosphere, and since it was held in the living room, we had to show the home fans what direction we would go into the season. Since the first button is important, it was necessary to bring not only the content but also the result.
Director Lee Ki-hyung was well aware of this. Coach Lee Ki-hyung, who met with reporters before the start of the game, revealed the goal of this match, saying, “Today’s goal is, of course, 3 points. And I hope fans can feel the active and speedy football while watching the game.”
As a result, Seongnam under Lee Ki-hyeong’s system showed consistency in words and actions. Seongnam scored the opening goal in the 11th minute of the game. In a corner kick situation, Cho Seong-wook split the net with a neat header. However, the first half did not end the way we wanted. Seongnam conceded a penalty kick just before the end of the first half, giving Ansan an equalizer.
The second half also proceeded in a tense manner. Seongnam launched an all-out war with Shin Jae-won, Jeon Seong-soo, Jang Young-ki, and Kim Won-jun. But the ending was disappointing. In the meantime, at the end of the game, Seongnam started to catch the flow. Seongnam players continued to put pressure on Ansan amid encouragement from their home fans. 토토사이트 I tried a few shots and created set-piece opportunities.
It finally paid off. While Seongnam continued to win corners, Shin Jae-won scored a dramatic winning goal from a corner kick in the 6th minute of extra time in the second half. Game time was running out, and a few minutes later the final whistle blew. Seongnam reported a victory in the opening game with a dramatic goal.
It was a game that caught both the 3 points (result) and active football (content) that coach Lee Ki-hyung mentioned at the pre-press conference. Since it was the first game of the season, the performance of the players was not 100%. Partially a mistake came out. However, until the final whistle blew, Seongnam players did not give up and played aggressively to score.
