Coach Choi’s Daegu won the K-League 1 round 16 home game against FC Seoul at 7:00 pm on the 4th at DGB Daegu Bank Park, and won 1-0 thanks to Sejingya’s winning goal in the 14th minute of the first half. They took revenge for the 0-3 defeat in Seoul in April and jumped up to 5th place in the league for the first time this season. On this day, Daepak sold out for the third time in the season with a crowd of 12,056.
After the match, coach Choi said, “I felt heavy because I couldn’t show the fans a win at home last May, but I’m happy to start with a win against Seoul in June.” He said to the fans, “I want to bow. After winning, I always want to bow to the fans.” He promised, “I will bow after finishing with good results at the end of the season.”
In the interview that day, there was also a question about the Daegu soccer nickname, ‘Click Soccer’, which became a hot topic in the soccer game community. It is the nickname of Daegu Counterattack Soccer, which you can’t stop even knowing it, that destroys the opponent with one-click counterattack soccer with the click of a button against a million tactics such as build-up, line adjustment, forward pressure, and set piece. On this day, Daegu took 3 points with a goal of explosive speed leading to Edgar, Ko Jae-hyun and Sejingya. Regarding this, coach Choi said, “I take it in a good way,” and admitted, “In modern soccer, you have to score goals, whether it’s a counterattack or a build-up. We think ‘click’ is right.” He expressed his will, “It seems like they say ‘click’ because I only scored one goal, but I have to make it more perfect. I will make it ‘click click click’.”
On this day, despite a pelvic injury on ‘Hong Chul Day’, he also praised the performance of veteran fullback Hong Chul, who volunteered to be selected and led the attack with brilliant overlapping, showing his fighting spirit. “Thank you so much. I had my doubts as I suffered a major injury at the beginning of this season. I wondered if I would be able to do well if I came back at my age, but the opportunity for Daegu to rebound this season is (Hong) Cheol,” he admitted. “Since Cheol’s return, our team’s performance has improved a lot. It’s a good phenomenon. Keita is also doing well. Exemplary senior players such as Cheol-i and (Lee) Yong-rae taught younger players a lesson,” he added. “I think I was trying to score a goal today on ‘Hongchul Day’.
▶Our players deserve to be praised for scoring first and winning by blocking Seoul’s mighty offensive power with a clean sheet. It’s a pity that we couldn’t score an extra goal in a counterattack situation. My heart was heavy because I couldn’t show a win at home last May, but I’m happy to start June with a win against Seoul.
– Sejingya decided, but the so-called ‘click soccer’ worked.
▶ Accept it in a good way. In modern soccer, you have to score goals whether it’s a counterattack or a build-up. ‘Click’ seems to be correct. I can only score one goal, so I think they say ‘click’. We need to make it more perfect. I will make sure that it becomes ‘click clack clack clack’.
– Player Hongcheol actively participated in overlapping on ‘Hongchul Day’ today and showed a good figure.
▶ Thank you so much. After suffering a major injury at the beginning of this season, I doubted myself. Will I be able to do well when I come back at my age? However, the opportunity for Daegu to rebound this season is iron. After Chul’s return, our grades improved a lot. This is a good phenomenon. Keita is also doing well. Exemplary seniors, such as Cheol-i and Yong-rae, taught the junior players under them a lesson. I think he will ask for rest because he is sick after running a lot today. I was winning, but the overlapping was just going up.
-The story of card management came up before the game, but Lee Jin-yong received a warning in the first half.
▶Jin Yong is a borderline. There are still areas where the line between an effective foul and a caution is not well crossed. I understand that young players are trying to do well. And I understand because he won. (Laughs) He is a fighter type player who is absolutely indispensable in our middle. If you tell them not to do it, they may recoil.
-I went up to 5th place for the first time in the season. how far do you think
▶We also have to win against Seoul and Jeonbuk. I’ve been fighting relegation last year, so I have an obsession with it. I am trying my best not to fall apart from the above teams. Communicating with the players. We have Suwon Samsung below, but we also have a difficult game against Suwon Samsung. The goal is to win against all teams. believe you can win The match against Seoul gave me confidence that I could win. The weekday match against Jeonbuk is away, and Jeonbuk beat Ulsan to ride the atmosphere. There are many good players, but we also want to make a good result by making a good hand.
-After the 1st round robin, you revealed your goal not to lose to the losing team again. You seem to be on target.
▶Not only me, but all of our players have pride. The pride of Daegu is the team slogan. Fans must have really liked it today. We lost 0-3 in the Seoul expedition and made a promise with the players. Let’s take revenge on Seoul, and promised to pay it back. There are so many home fans coming, so let’s win. I am so grateful to the players for protecting it.
-The goal scene leading to Edgar, Ko Jae-hyeon, and Sejingya, is it a scene that often appears during training?
▶We must not reduce our aggressive speed. It is not sharp when proceeding with build-up. I try to solve it somehow in a short time, and I really work hard on the combination training of Sejingya, Edgar Ko Jae-hyun, and Baselus Lee Geun-ho. I’m in charge of the attacking part, but when I don’t score, the coaches notice, so I train a lot. We only have training.
-A word to the crowd of 10,000 people who participated in today’s victory.
▶I want to bow at least. After winning, I always want to bow to the fans. I will bow at the end of the season with good results.
