“This is a game created by earnestness. We have overcome a big hurdle by winning, but we have not achieved anything yet.”

FC Anyang, led by coach Yoo Byung-hoon, defeated Busan I’Park in the 35th round of Hana Bank K-League 2 2024 held at Anyang Sports Complex at 4:30 pm on the 20th, adding 3 points and rising to first place. Anyang, who took the lead with Yoo Jeong-wan’s first goal in the 14th minute of the first half, won 4-1 over Busan with Lamas scoring in the 36th minute of the second half with additional goals by Yoo Jeong-wan in the 17th minute, Yago in the 24th minute of the second half, and Lee Young-jik in the 29th minute of the second half.

After the game, Coach Yoo said, “First of all, I would like to thank owner Choi Dae-ho and the club for allowing a training camp to change the team atmosphere even in difficult times. Today was a difficult situation, but I think it was a game made by earnestness. Although we overcame a big hurdle by winning today’s game, “We haven’t achieved anything yet, and we will prepare well for the next game toward that goal,” he said, looking back on the game.

What I felt from this game was, “I think there were a lot of positive aspects. The players’ will to win, the unity to come together as a team, and the players played to do it as a team. I think it was a big win because they worked together as a team. “He said.

The victory against Busan this time was a victory that shook off all the mental hardships that had been going on. “During our 3-game losing streak, we lost all 3 games to top-ranked teams, so I was very shocked and was in a difficult situation. Before we lost 3 games in a row, I would go to watch other games the day before the game, but I didn’t go to watch it yesterday. I guess that’s why we won. We won today’s game and overcame an important juncture. “I believe that if I prepare better, I will achieve my desired goal.”

Amid many injuries to defenders, Lee Young-jik’s performance was positive. However, Coach Yoo said, “Looking at it as a whole, it was a satisfactory game. At the end, when Lee Young-jik committed a handball foul, he did well in that area and got excited once in a while. He couldn’t control his mind in some areas, so he made a big mistake every now and then. “I think that if we fix just one part, it will be an important addition to the team because it is not easy to use center back,” he said in a cool-headed assessment.

“I asked the players before the game. Passion is important, but cool-headedness is also important, so I told them to be cool-headed. I told them to put their will ahead of their skills. As a result, there were situations where things became overheated. If a player is sent off, it becomes a dangerous situation for the team. “I was a little worried because I had experienced it several times, but I wasn’t too worried.”

Regarding Yoo Jeong-wan, who overcame an injury of about 5 months from the end of March to the end of August and showed great performance by scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist, he said, “I had a hard time because of Yoo Jeong-wan, and the player also had a hard time. We talked a lot for two weeks. The player himself. He said, “I am satisfied that the player put in a lot of effort to overcome the difficult part and did what the team wanted, even if he worked hard and scored two goals.”

He continued, “I said to go into the first game against Seongnam with the same mindset. The team did well there as Yoo Jeong-wan scored the first goal. Today, in an important game, it was difficult, but I am very happy to have helped the team with a goal. I am very happy that Yoo Jeong-wan will continue to do well in the future. “Even if he doesn’t score, I hope he shows his dedication to the team,” he said.
