“I saw the hope of the team’s first Korea Cup final.”
Jung Kyung -ho, director of Gangwon FC (45), laughed brightly after a draw with Jeonbuk Hyundai in the enemy.
Gangwon won 1-1 draw in the first leg of the semi-final match of the 2025 Hanbuk and 2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup held at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. In the second half of the fourth minute, Kim Young -bin scored the first goal, but after 13 minutes, Koo Bon -cheol’s equalizer won the enemy in the enemy. On the 27th, we will be able to make more hope in the second leg of the second leg of the Gangneung High1 Arena.
It was a valuable draw that overcame the bad flow recently. Gangwon recently won only five consecutive games (4 draws and 1 loss) in the K -League 1. Because of the thin player base, rotation was inevitable in the Korea Cup. Choi Byung -chan, Koo Bon -cheol, Cho Hyun -tae, and Yoon Il -rok, who were named on the starting list, were resources that did not take much opportunity in the league. Jeonbuk, on the other hand, was leading the K -League 1 and was undefeated (20 wins and 5 draws) in 25 consecutive games with the league and Korea Cup. Kangwon was worried about the facts that were comparable to other teams, such as Lee Seung -woo, Lee Young -jae, and Choi Chul -soon.
However, the response of the director’s term was shining. Instead of the existing 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1, the long ball of Jeonbuk was effectively blocked with a modified three-back, and after making a 1-1 tie, he used a five-back to run the game. He laughed at the official press conference after the game, “We solved the game as we prepared.
The first Korea Cup Finals are greedy. Currently, the K -League 1 fights, the Korea Cup final, and the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE), which will be held next month, is more confident than tension.
Chung said, “It is significant that the fact that we can have such three big tournaments since the first year of appointment. I want to have a positive result for our team, although it is a novice driver.” “It would not be easy to go to the second leg with Jeonbuk, but I found a way to bother the opponent. I have confidence and prepare for the second game to reach the first Korea Cup final.”
