[골닷컴, 강릉] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = “I am happy to take over in a difficult situation, but I also feel a sense of responsibility. I will aim to remain in the K-League 1 as much as possible. The basic goal is not to go to the promotion playoffs (PO). I will try to be a great help. “
Yoon Jeong-hwan (50), new head coach of Gangwon FC, met with reporters at the inaugural press conference held at the clubhouse in Gangneung, Gangwon-do on the followingnoon of the 19th and said this. In a situation where there is no place to retreat anymore, I put my energy into remaining as much as possible and revealed my goal that I would laugh at the end.
Previously, on the 15th, coach Yoon took the helm of Gangwon and took over as the 10th command tower. Along with him, coach Jeong Kyung-ho (43) joins. After reorganization during the A match break, it is scheduled to make its debut in the Hanawon Q K League 1 2023 Round 19 away match once morest Suwon FC held at Suwon Sports Complex on the 25th.
During his active career, coach Yoon left great achievements while crossing the K-League and J-League. He was called Korea’s best technical midfielder, and following his retirement, he started his leadership career at Sagan Dos. After that, he went through Ulsan Hyundai, Cerezo Osaka, Muang Thong United, and Jeff United. He most recently served as a K-League commentator.
Gangwon currently ranks 11th in the K-League 1 (2 wins, 6 draws, 10 losses, 12 points) and is in the relegation zone. It was literally on the brink of extinction. In this situation, director Yoon was given the heavy task of escaping from sluggishness as soon as possible. In particular, he took on the heavy responsibility of escaping the frustrating flow to the point of staying at the lowest score (11 goals) this season.
Director Yoon said, “I am happy to take charge of Gangwon in a difficult situation, but I also feel a sense of responsibility. I am thinking a lot regarding how to overcome this situation. “It is greedy to say that we are aiming for the FA Cup in the current situation. I will aim to remain in the K-League 1 as much as possible. I do,” he said in his inauguration speech.
At the same time, coach Yoon said, “It is true that everyone wants to go to a good team and to a team with many good players, but it was not easy to refuse because I felt that CEO Kim Byeong-ji was deeply concerned regarding me.” I decided to help. After a short time decision, I was distracted. As a result, I took the baton, so I think it’s important to be able to achieve the part I was aiming for.”
When asked regarding how he plans to lead Gangwon in the future, coach Yoon said, “From this week’s game, nothing will change at once, but I will slowly improve.” “I will try to score as many goals as possible while doing it. Rather than stepping back in a defensive situation, I will try to block the opponent’s advantage by counterattacking instead of getting down in advance.”
Below is the full Q&A at the press conference for Gangwon FC head coach Yoon Jeong-hwan.
inaugural impressions.
I am happy to take charge of Kangwon in a difficult situation, but I also feel a sense of responsibility. I am thinking a lot regarding how to get through this situation. I will do my best to become a great force for you to stay. In the end, I think the only thing I can do is show it in the arena. It is greedy to say that we are aiming for the FA Cup in the current situation. I will aim to remain in the K-League 1 as much as possible. The basic goal is not to go to the promotion playoffs (PO). I hope you will keep an eye on it.
Looking at it from the outside, what are the problems of Gangwon?
There may be many things, but first of all, there is a lot of defensive awareness as much as I used the back five. In fact, I think it would have been better if we had been effective in counterattacking even defensively. Also, the process of possessing the ball is also degraded. I think it was because I was too focused on defense rather than offense. Because the attacking team lacked a lot of players, there were not many shots in the game. We talk regarding those things to the players.
Right now, nothing will change at once from this week’s game, but we will slowly improve. Now I have to bring results somehow. Even if I take risks, I will try to score as many goals as possible while attacking. In a defensive situation, rather than stepping back, I will try to block the opponent’s advantage by counterattacking instead of getting down in advance. We also need to improve the areas where the players lack a lot of confidence.
Are you planning on making any tactical changes?
There won’t be a big change with the players now, but in order to attack, you have to have ownership following all. I have no intention of stepping back from the beginning. Rather than just getting down, we all have to do it together when we press. However, since soccer is a 90-minute fight, the physical aspect must also be considered. It is also important how confident the players can go forward. We will do our best to be reborn as a fearsome team that is difficult for opponents while showing a motivated image.
What are you looking forward to following Yoon Il-rok joined?
He is a player with many good impressions in the past. It’s been a while since I haven’t seen him, but since he’s an experienced player, I hope he has a good influence on his juniors. He thinks he won’t be a player of great help.
How did you see Lee Seung-won’s performance?
I met the water, but I have to row. There are enough abilities. If you adapt quickly and fight on an equal footing with your seniors, I think you have enough competitiveness. I also think that we need to develop young players. He also did private interviews, but I think he’ll do a good job. However, he did not step on the K-League 1 stage. The key is to quickly adapt to speed and physical fights. Then he thinks that it will produce good results.
A plan to reinforce foreign players.
Foreign players are still looking. He’s looking at the offensive and defensive sides. However, even if they recruit foreign players, it will take a while because they are not in a situation where they can play right away. You have to play well with existing players.
What are your thoughts on Kim Dae-won’s sluggish performance?
I had a personal interview. It’s a psychologically distant state. Players exert more effort when they play on the ground. Actually, I haven’t been able to compete in many games this year. There were many cases where he entered as a substitute or was replaced while playing as a starter. There will be pressure, and I have to overcome the pressure in that part because the fans expect a lot as much as I did well last year, but overall, my confidence is low. I have to go to the army next year. It is a difficult situation with many complexities. I will bring out the parts that players can do well.
What is the process of accepting an offer to direct?
While working as a commentator, I watched a lot of Gangwon matches, and I saw a lot of accounting for various teams in the K-League. He also met with CEO Kim Byeong-ji a lot. He didn’t talk regarding that at all, but following the Jeonbuk Hyundai War, he got a call late at night and was worried. It happened very suddenly.
In fact, everyone wants to join a good team, and it is true that they want to join a team with many good players. I wanted to help, and I decided to help. After a short time decision, I’m out of my mind. In the end, since I took the baton, I think it’s important to be able to achieve what I was aiming for.
What has changed between when you took charge of Ulsan in the past and the current K-League?
The current players have definitely improved in terms of quality. Therefore, it seems that the game will be decided depending on how much concentration you maintain in the ground light. Loss of concentration leads to a lot of mistakes. If we improve on that part, I think it will bring results with good game contents.
How do you feel regarding meeting Lee Jeong-hyeop once more?
Right now, there are only two forward strikers, Park Sang-hyuk and Lee Jeong-hyeop. You have to make good use of it. If the two players do it with confidence, I think they can do well because there are good players around them who can supply good passes. I think your mindset is important. It is important how you feel regarding the game. I guess I’ll have to look and judge.
