Manager Kim Sang-sik and Moon Seon-min, “I will definitely get three points against Sydney”

[시사종합신문 = 오승택 기자] Jeonbuk Hyundai recorded a 1-1 draw with Hoang Ain Jalai (Vietnam) in Group H of the 2022 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League group stage match held at Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on the 26th (Korean time).

With this draw, Jeonbuk took 2nd place in the group with 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 draws.

Jeonbuk opened the scoring with a set piece in the 17th minute of the first half by Sun-Min Moon. Moon Seon-min changed the direction of the corner kick raised by Lee Seung-gi with his head and scored and took the lead.

After the match, coach Kim Sang-sik said, “It’s a pity that the match ended in a draw. It was the 4th game played every three days, and it was a physically difficult match because the recovery did not complete. I think I have to,” he said.

Then, when asked if there was any disappointment other than the physical burden, he said, “Before today’s match, I analyzed the match against Hoang Ain in the last 3rd game and came out with a tactic to target the back space. After that, the passive and atrophied play to keep the first goal was disappointing.”

Manager Kim Sang-sik said, “I expected Hoang Ain to make a strong defense and attack counterattacks, and I prepared for that part. However, I couldn’t overcome the physical part and made many mistakes. As an enemy, we had a home advantage on par with other Asian teams, so I think it was a difficult game.”

After the match, Sun-Min Moon said, “The Vietnamese players have grown a lot more than expected. They played two games in a row and played a difficult game.”

He continued, “Originally, I wanted to create a good atmosphere by getting good results today and continuing to win in the next game. But I got a disappointing result. I will definitely get three points in the next game.”
