온라인바카라Gwangju, which is causing a sensation this season under this manager’s system, set a new record for the most points on this day, following the club’s previous record of most wins in a season. Gwangju secured 47 points, the most in the first division in team history in 2016. On this day, I achieved another milestone by scoring 48 points. There has been no loss for over two months since the 1-1 draw against Gangwon FC on July 7th. With three games remaining in the regular season, securing a spot in the Asian Champions League (ACL) for the first time in the club’s history is not a dream.

Since the winning opponent is Seoul, it is more meaningful to Gwangju and Coach Lee. Gwangju had clashed with Seoul 9 times before, including under this manager’s regime, and was unable to win with 2 draws and 7 losses. Also, Coach Lee and Seoul had a bad relationship this season. After losing 0-2 to Seoul at home on March 5, Coach Lee said, “Honestly, I am very angry. “I’m angry that we lost to a team that plays soccer like that,” he said, drawing strong criticism from Seoul fans. Director Lee said, “There was a misunderstanding. (Head coach at the time) I did not have a bad opinion of coach Ahn Ik-soo’s soccer, and tried to resolve the matter, but he became a hot topic with a high-level remark rarely seen in the K-League. After that, Gwangju lost again 1-3 in an away game against Seoul on May 9.

After winning 2-0 in the away game against Ulsan Hyundai on the 3rd, Coach Lee reflected on the meaning of the game against Seoul and announced full preparations. Before meeting with reporters ahead of the kickoff of the game, he sat on one side, closed his eyes, and waited. Immediately after the victory, he said, “Honestly, I couldn’t sleep today. Compared to other days. I usually sleep well the day before a game. Because preparations are complete. But I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I lost today, so I stayed up first. “I think that’s why I felt better (after winning),” he said.

Gwangju scored the first goal early with its signature strong forward pressure and build-up, and then blocked Seoul’s 18 shots with high defensive concentration. Coach Lee said, “Looking at today’s performance, I think FC Seoul will be very unfair. “Seoul was better, but our players were happy with the results anyway,” he said.

Gwangju has not conceded a point in the last three consecutive wins. With key defenders such as Timo injured, Coach Lee’s defensive tactics are also effective. He said, “(Goalkeeper) Kim Kyung-min played really well. He also plays well with all players, starting with the offense and defense. “Organizationally, we get that result (no runs),” he said. Heo Yul, who scored the winning goal, also said, “I received a lot of criticism from the coach about my defensive position ahead of the Seoul game,” and saw the defensive movement promised from the front as the driving force behind the goalless goal. Other than that, “It stimulates the areas that each player is lacking. “I think the goal is to prevent that kind of situation (conceding a goal) from happening again,” he emphasized.
