The K-League 2 game is being shaken by Ko Jeong-woon Magic. Interest in Gimpo FC has also increased, and we are hearing cheers that are not envious of any popular team.
Gimpo FC won 1-0 against Chungnam Asan in the 13th round of ‘Hanawon Q K League 2 2023’ held at Yi Sun-shin Sports Complex at 4:00 pm on the 14th.
Gimpo gave way to Chungnam-Asan’s active offensive, but did not give them a chance while boasting a suffocating defense. In the second half, Gimpo put Lee Seong-jae and Kim Jong-seok in, and in the 17th minute of the second half, in a counterattack situation, Lewis’ right-footed shot shook the net and took the lead. Afterwards, despite the one-sided attack by Chungnam-Asan, they boasted a solid defense and won 1-0.
As a result, Gimpo continued undefeated by recording 7 wins and 5 draws in 12 matches, and with 26 points, it beat Sangmu Kimcheon by 3 points and took the sole lead. This is something no one expected. Gimpo, who joined the K-League 2 last season and played their first professional season, showed potential but were clearly weak. Very few people expected that they would run at the top or even lead this season as well.
Nonetheless, head coach Go Jeong-woon put Gimpo up to the top. Although there are many draws, it is the only undefeated team in K-League 1 and 2. This is the result of a combination of salty water defense with 4 runs in 12 games and Lewis’ performance, which ranks first in scoring. Managing Director Gimcheon, who is considered to have a national team, is also under Gimpo.
Interest is growing amid a tremendous upswing. Compared to previous years, the number of spectators increased and the number of visitors to the expedition also increased. There is no star that everyone knows, and even though it has been less than two years since it was founded as a professional, it has secured a large number of fans. Many away fans came and cheered for the Asan expedition this time. After the game, they asked for autographs in front of the Gimpo bus and cheered and applauded.
When coach Go Jeong-woon came out, cheers erupted, and when Cho Seong-kwon, who is the key defensive player and included in the list of training calls for the Asian Games led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, appeared, shouts of “National Team Cho Sung-kwon” came out. It was a heat that was not envied by any popular team. 스포츠토토
At the post-game press conference, coach Go Jeong-woon said, “I am so very grateful to the players. I think I am a very lucky person. What I want to say repeatedly is that the environment, infrastructure and budget are not enough. But I ask for a lot. The players silently perform. (In terms of merit) I am the third. I give this credit to the players and coaching staff,” he said, expressing his impression of being undefeated and leading the team alone.
