Ansan Greeners FC (owner Lee Min-geun, hereinafter referred to as Ansan) is aiming for a victory in the home opener, leaving behind the regret of losing against Seongnam FC.
Ansan will play the 2nd round home opening game of ‘Hanawon Q K League 2 2023’ against Chungnam Asan FC at Ansan Wa~ Stadium at 4pm on the 4th (Sat).
Ansan’s first game of the season, away from Seongnam FC, was disappointing. Even after conceding the first goal, Gabriel’s equalizer just before the end of the first half saved hopes of a comeback. Seongnam’s Shin Jae-won conceded a goal in extra time in the second half and faced a 1-2 defeat.
The content of the game was good. They conceded an early goal in the first half, and even though they struggled against Seongnam’s wave of offense, they were not shaken by their stable defense. Just before the end of the first half, Gabriel scored the equalizer. In the second half of the extra time, he conceded an extra point, but he did not give up and Kim Jin-hyun showed his fighting spirit by creating a scoring opportunity. Although he allowed 2 runs with a set piece and exposed problems, he saw hope in the overall content, crisis management ability, and rapid development of attacks.
In particular, the performances of Kim Bum-soo and Gabriel, newly recruited this season, are encouraging. The two players shook Seongnam’s defense with quick feet and bold shooting at the forefront. Kim Beom-soo induced a penalty kick by inducing an opponent’s defensive foul with his quick feet, and Gabriel scored his debut goal in the K-League. Expectations are high for the two players as they gained confidence through their performance in the first game.
Coach Lim Jong-heon also said, “The players did their best against Seongnam, and we unfortunately lost in a situation where we could have won. We lost 2 runs with set pieces, but I think we will be able to demonstrate our competitiveness sufficiently with a little refinement.”먹튀검증
The home opener against Chungnam Asan is important. It is the first meeting with the home fans this season, so we have to give them joy. Since then, we are facing a head-to-head confrontation with K-League 2 powerhouses such as FC Anyang and Bucheon FC 1995, so we need to boost our morale.
This opponent, Chungnam Asan, is strong enough to compete for the playoffs until the last game after overcoming the inferiority in the 2022 season. Its strengths are its well-established organizational skills and philosophy centered on director Park Dong-hyuk.
Asan, Chungcheongnam-do has a big gap when K-League 2 top scorer Yoo Kang-hyun transferred to Daejeon Hana Citizen last season. Also, in the first round with Kim Cheon, he suffered a 1-2 come-from-behind loss, revealing a problem with concentration at the end. If Ansan demonstrates a stable defense, a quick counterattack, and a tenacity that does not give up until the end, they have a chance of winning.
Attention is focusing on whether Ansan will give joy to home fans who have been waiting for a long time by defeating Chungnam Asan in the home opening game.
