[GOAL LIVE] “We need more effort”… Reason for replacing Kim Shin-jin for the opening goal revealed by Ahn Ik-soo

[골닷컴, 상암] Reporter Kim Hyung-joong = FC Seoul drew with Kim Cheon-sang-moo and could not confirm their stay.

Seoul did not score 1-1 in the home match against Gimcheon in the 35th round of Hana One League QK 1 2022 held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7:30pm on the 12th. At the start of the game, Shin-Jin Kim took the lead, but in the second half, Young-Jae Lee equalized. At the same time, Daegu FC defeated Suwon Samsung, and Seoul could confirm their stay if they won, but it was postponed to the next game.

After the game, coach Ahn Ik-soo, who attended the press conference, said, “I’m sorry to the fans. I’m sorry that I can’t always keep up with you in support me. A message after that asks all the members to work harder to overcome difficulties together.”

Kim Shin-jin, the main goalkeeper, only played the first half and was replaced at the beginning of the second half with Palosevic. Regarding this, coach Ahn Ik-soo explained the reason, “If you look at the team’s tactics, a suitable role is needed, but something was lacking. Palosevich showed a lot of activity in a row until the midweek game, so it was difficult . Because of that, we replaced it.” Kim Shin-jin then encouraged, “Scoring a goal is encouraging, but other situations require more effort.”

Even with Cage, who was put in at the beginning of the second half, he tried to be replaced in the middle of the second half, but Kim Jin-ya was injured and remained in the stadium until the end. In terms of performance, it did not live up to Ahn Ik-soo’s expectations. Against this, he warned against a broad interpretation, saying, “As I said before, the role of team management was not suitable, so there was a need to change. There is nothing special because it happens all the time in the situation of the game.”

Seoul did well in the first half, but struggled a bit with Gimcheon’s offense in the second half. Coach Ahn Ik-soo said, “To be honest, the current FA Cup was very tiring. But that cannot be the reason for our situation. It is something that every member should reflect on.”
