Daejeon finished its first season following promotion in 8th place with 51 points (12 wins, 15 draws, 11 losses). This season, coach Lee Min-seong’s pursuit of aggressive football paid off in terms of retention. Coach Lee Min-seong did not stop here and set higher goals for the upcoming season.
After the game, coach Lee Min-seong said, “I am grateful that the players who had high expectations until the end did not give up and ended in a draw. Looking back on the year, it was not a satisfactory performance, but he succeeded in his first goal: staying in the country. Furthermore, my goal for next year is to secure a ticket to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL),” he said.
Regarding plans following the season, “It’s the same as other coaches, but I think I’ll be busier during the winter. There are some players who are enlisting in the military, and the situation needs to change in the players, so I think there will come a time when I have to go abroad and see for myself. “I don’t have time to rest,” he replied.
Coach Lee Min-seong, who spent one season in K-League 1 following promotion, said, “We cannot advance to the ACL if we concede too many goals. We definitely need to fix that, and we still have a lot of inexperienced players. It will get better if you correct and strengthen those points. The second season is also going through a season with ups and downs. “For an ACL ticket, consistency is the most important thing,” he reflected.
Lastly, regarding the upcoming transfer market, “I have several positions, but I can’t say what I should do right away. There are players going out and players coming in, so I think we need to carefully consider the combination. “I plan to think regarding it until the end,” he concluded the press conference.
