Ulsan, which suffered its first consecutive loss of the season, clashes with Daejeon, where Lee Min-seong resigned.
The second ‘Kim Ki-dong Derby’ of the professional soccer K-League 1 season will be held this coming weekend.
Pohang will play a home game against FC Seoul in the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024 Round 14' at Pohang Steel Yard at 7 pm on the 25th.
The match between the two teams is called the 'Kim Ki-dong derby' because of coach Kim Ki-dong, who led Pohang until last season and took charge of Seoul this season.
In the first 'Kim Ki-dong derby' of the season held on the 13th of last month, Pohang won 4-2 over Seoul. Coach Kim Ki-dong, who was aiming for a win against his home team in Seoul, suffered a blow to his pride by conceding a large number of goals. 토토사이트 순위
As the season passes the beginning and heads towards the middle, the actions of both teams are completely opposite.
Pohang, where coach Kim Ki-dong left and new coach Park Tae-ha took over, is at the top of the league. In 13 games, they have 7 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses (25 points, 19 points, goal difference +9). 슬롯사이트
They have the same number of points and goals as 2nd place Gimcheon Sangmu, but are ahead in goal difference (+5). However, in the previous round, they lost 0-1 to Suwon FC, ending their 11-game undefeated streak (7 wins, 4 draws). If he gets caught in the Kim Ki-dong derby, there is a possibility that he will fall to third place. For Pohang, Jeong Jae-hee, who has been playing surprisingly well this season, is tied for second place in scoring (7 goals), and Lee Ho-jae is playing his part as a joker. However, key midfielder Kim Jong-woo left the team due to a calf injury, and Brazilian striker Jorge has yet to report a goal. What is more urgent is Seoul. They raised expectations by bringing in coach Kim Ki-dong, who led Pohang to second place in the regular league and victory in the Korea Football Association FA Cup (now Korea Cup) last season, but they are in 8th place (4 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses). On the 19th, they lost 1-2 at home to Daegu FC and were unable to maintain their previous 2-1 win in the Gyeongin Derby against Incheon United. It is unfortunate that there is no winning streak in the season, so it is difficult to see an upward trend. After Kim Joo-sung, the starting center back, left due to injury, the defensive anxiety has hardly been resolved. In addition, goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom, who was fined for irritating opposing supporters during the Incheon expedition, accidentally provided an excuse for conceding a goal in the previous Daegu match. The return of England national team midfielder Jesse Lingard, who had left due to injury and surgery, is positive. In the last game against Daegu, Lingard started as a starter for the first time since joining Seoul and played until the 18th minute of the second half, showing off lighter footwork than expected. Although they were unable to increase their attack points, coach Kim Ki-dong gave them a positive evaluation, raising expectations for the future. ‘Defending champion’ Ulsan HD, who suffered their first consecutive loss of the season, will clash with Daejeon Hana Citizen, who has a vacant head coach, at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 25th. Ulsan drew 2-2 with Gimcheon on the 12th, lost 1-2 to Gwangju FC on the 15th, and lost 0-1 to Gangwon FC on the 19th, their first 2 consecutive losses of the season and a 3-game winless streak (1 draw, 2 losses). fell in Defensive instability is cited as the biggest cause of the team's recent slump. Veteran defender Kim Young-kwon faltered, and right fullback Seol Young-woo left the team due to shoulder surgery. Daejeon's situation is worse, with no wins (2 draws, 2 losses) in the last 4 consecutive games. After losing 0-1 to Incheon on the 18th, coach Lee Min-seong resigned on the 21st. To make matters worse, star midfielder Lee Soon-min is out due to a ruptured ankle ligament, and Latvian goaltender Gutek also injured his ankle and is not at his normal strength. Meanwhile, Daejeon's head coach Jeong Gwang-seok was burdened with having to deal with Ulsan as an acting coach. In the first meeting of the season between the two teams, which took place in the 5th round on April 2, Daejeon won 2-0. 안전 토토사이트
