# ‘2 wins, 1 draw against Gangwon’ Daejeon Hana Citizen, challenge for undefeated in 7 league games!

Daejeon Hana Citizen welcomes Gangwon FC to their home and aims to go undefeated in seven games.

Daejeon Hana Citizen will play the 36th round of 'Hana One Q K League 1 2023' against Gangwon FC at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 2pm on the 11th. Daejeon is currently ranked 8th (47 points) with 11 wins, 14 draws, and 10 losses in 35 league games.

In the 35th round, Daejeon went away to Suwon and allowed 2 goals in the first half, but thanks to their persistence in not giving up until the end, they eventually scored 2 goals in the last minute of the second half and earned 1 precious point. At that time, Daejeon set the stage for a pursuit in the 35th minute of the second half when Kang Yun-seong's cross was completed by Thiago, and in the extra time of the second half, Massa pushed in the ball that Thiago dropped with his head, scoring a dramatic equalizer.

As a result, Daejeon went on an undefeated streak of 6 games (2 wins, 4 draws). Daejeon confirmed its stay in K-League 1 by drawing 1-1 with Suwon FC in the first game of the final round before facing Suwon. While they were recently undefeated, they succeeded in widening the gap by drawing with first place Ulsan Hyundai and beating Jeju United, who were chasing Daejeon, 1:0. Although the results were positive, it was somewhat disappointing that there were many draws with 2 wins and 4 draws in 6 games. In an atmosphere where early retention may actually reduce motivation, players must show a strong desire to win.

Therefore, this victory in Gangwon is very important. Gangwon is the team that brought pain to Daejeon two years ago. Unfortunately, their dream of promotion failed to come true after meeting Gangwon in the promotion play-offs during the 2021 season. They met in the opening game of K League 1 this season (2:1 win) and completely avenged themselves, and have the upper hand with 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 meetings. In this game as well, we are determined to continue our lead over our opponents through a win and continue our momentum by getting off to a good start in the first of the three remaining games, against Gangwon.

The key player for victory is Thiago. Thiago scored 19 goals last year, ranking second in scoring after Yoo Kang-hyeon. Thiago, who joined Daejeon ahead of this season, is still showing off his keen sense of scoring even on the K League 1 stage. Starting with his first goal of the season against Gangwon in the opening game, he has scored 16 points in 33 games and is ranked first in scoring in K League 1. He also provided 5 assists and is leading Daejeon's attack with a total of 21 attack points. Among K League 1 players this year, Thiago is the only player to record more than 20 attack points. Thanks to the performance of Thiago, the center of the attack, Daejeon is ranked 3rd in K League 1 scoring with 52 points, following FC Seoul and Ulsan Hyundai. He is clearly motivated as he continues to compete fiercely for the top scorer, only one point behind the second-place scorer, Min-gyu Joo of Ulsan (15 points). Thiago, who scored the first goal in the previous game to lay the foundation for the chase, is aiming for a second consecutive goal.

Also, expectations are high for Kang Yun-seong, who returned from injury. Kang Yun-seong joined Daejeon this summer. He made his professional debut in Daejeon (then Daejeon Citizen) in 2016 and played 66 games over three years, adding vitality to Daejeon. Afterwards, he returned to Daejeon after playing for Jeju United and Gimcheon Sangmu (military service). Kang Yun-seong, who returned with even more growth, was a great help in the second half of the match with his unique multi-talented ability. He can play as a central midfielder as well as a side defender, and with his sharp ability to participate in attacks, he has recorded 1 score and 1 assist in 11 league games. After returning from injury, he assisted Thiago's goal against Suwon, his first starting game, and laid the foundation for the chase.

Coach Lee Min-seong, who will face Gangwon, said, "I hope that the players will let go of the pressure in the remaining three games, show an aggressive side, and play soccer that the fans can enjoy. We will do our best to play the soccer we want in this game as well." He expressed his determination.

Meanwhile, Daejeon designates the home game held on November 11 as "Everyone Hana Day" and invites socially vulnerable groups in the Daejeon area to the home game. Through this, we plan to provide opportunities for leisure through watching sports games and provide enjoyable experiences through various events. Starting two hours before the start of the game (12:00~), various experiential events will be held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium's Nammun Square, including Daejeon Hana Citizen's official cheerleader One Queens, mascot autograph session, DIY experience, face painting, and a Daejeon Hana Citizen player booth that I draw. .
