Gwangju FC returned to K-League 1 after a year in K-League 2.
Coach Lee Jung-hyo, who made his debut as a professional coach while taking the baton of Gwangju last season, gives a passionate tactical lecture at the field training ground.
<Lee Jung-hyo / Gwangju FC Manager> “Is there a space here or not?” “It creates space.” “So you have to catch it there and look over there, far away.”
Coach Lee is preparing for a hotter offensive football as a challenger in the 1st division.
<Lee Jung-hyo / Gwangju FC Manager> 바카라“If you score 1 goal, I will try to score 2 goals. If I score 2 goals, I will try to score 3 goals… I have no intention of defending in K League 1.”
This is with in mind that promoted teams often shrink into defensive football at the end of the season in order to survive in the first division.
Coach Lee broke various records, including the most wins in the 2nd division, led Gwangju to promotion to the 1st division and won the K-League 2 coaching award.
The interest is whether Lee’s ‘reversal leadership’ will work in the first division.
As a strict coach inside the playground, he approached like a neighborhood brother outside and adapted the players to attack soccer.
<Lee Jeong-hyo / Gwangju FC Manager> “I enjoy watching how (the players) change and change every day.
Coach Lee’s goal is more than just remaining in the K-League 1.
<Lee Jung-hyo / Gwangju FC Manager> “I hope our players will be selected for the Asian Games, Olympics, and youth national team. That is my goal.”
Gwangju, which focuses on finishing training in Jeju Island, plans to show advanced Gwangju soccer in the opening game against Suwon Samsung on the 25th.
