Last season, Seongnam, which was relegated at the bottom of the K-League 1, was promoted. Coach Lee Ki-hyung said, “It is a great honor to become Seongnam coach. We trained for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd batteries, and starting with team formation and physical training, we created a team system through tactics and practice games. I think the players must have had a hard time. There were many changes in the squad this season. The players were able to gain more strength thanks to the support of the owner and fans.”
“This year’s goal is promotion. Last year, we were relegated in a difficult situation and many players left. It may take time to build, but we are emphasizing physical strength and mental aspects in practice games. The players will show that in real matches. I think we can do it. What the fans want is victory. We will never give up no matter what the outcome is and show our fighting spirit to the end. If a lot of people come to the stadium and support us with a louder voice, we will put all our energy into the game.
