Despite fielding a near-second-team squad, Daejeon performed well. They went into halftime down 0-2, but fought back to equalize twice in the second half. Despite the loss, it was a fruitful game.

After the game, Lee said, “I want to thank the players for fighting until the end. The loss is my responsibility. We will focus on the league from now on.”

After a shaky first half, Daejeon fought back in the second half. “I told them to be confident,” said Lee. When we conceded two goals, we lost momentum. I think it’s because we have a lot of players who haven’t experienced big matches. They will improve from this game. They did a good job. I think the condition of the foreign players has improved,” he said with satisfaction.

There are other gains. The rediscovery of young players. “I’ve seen Lee Dong-won and Lee Sun-ho since last year, and they’re growing through the B team games. They deserve to compete with the A-team players,” he said, suggesting that he plans to utilize them in the K League 1.

As for Min Jun-young, who scored an own goal, he said, “It’s part of the game. I didn’t do it on purpose. We just need to fix it and improve from here. Mistakes like that happen. I was unlucky.”

Daejeon will face Ulsan Hyundai in the weekend match. The team had the pleasant experience of winning the first meeting. “It’s something we thought about before the season started. I thought this situation would come. It’s not something that someone else will do. We have to control it. We just have to do our best every game. You go out there to win. If we lose, it’s okay as long as we don’t lose helplessly. The most important thing is to end the losing streak. We will prepare well and challenge ourselves. The players also need to be more confident. We can’t forget the basics. We need to play like we won the last match to stay in the competition. The players know that,” he said.

He added: “I want to thank the fans. We are a promoted team, but if we could do better, they would be happier, but we are not. Please be patient and we will rebound. We can go on a losing streak. Our goal was always to stay up. We will move forward.”
