First loss’ Jeju Kim Hak-beom “Difficult situation with the first PK goal conceded… It will get better over time.”

Coach Kim Ki-dong, who took charge of FC Seoul in the K-League 1 professional soccer league and reported his first win in three games, scolded his players, saying that the team did not improve as much as he wanted.

After finishing the K-League 1 3rd round home game against Jeju United held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 16th, Coach Kim said, “It was a very long three games until our first win. **[파워볼사이트 추천](https://www.outlookindia.com/plugin-play/2024년-파워볼사이트-추천-순위-안전한-파워볼실시간-게임-사이트-top15-news-334143)**

“I think we showed a little more stickiness today than in the last game,” he said.

Seoul won 2-0 in the first half with Ilyuchenko’s penalty kick goal and Ki Sung-yueng’s additional goal, recording their first win of the season.

Ahead of this season, Seoul drew attention by recruiting coach Kim and former England national team midfielder Jesse Lingard, but was disappointed in the first two games.

On this day, Seoul showed much better performance and won, attracting a home crowd of nearly 30,000.

It made me laugh.

In particular, the performance of new faces such as fullback Choi Jun and midfielder Ryu Jae-moon was encouraging.

Coach Kim said, “(Choi) Jun was definitely active and fast, so he actively harassed the opponent’s attack, and he was good at covering the defense, so he was a source of energy for the team.

[Ryu Jae-moon](https://outlookindia.diary.ru/p222139682_korean-mens-volleyball-team-wins-against-brazil.htm) was also in his first game, and he was good at throwing the ball left and right.

He smiled and said, “He looked like he was looking for a way to attack.”

Nevertheless, Coach Kim declared, “The soccer I want is not yet there, and I am not satisfied.”

He emphasized, “In the first half, I played the ball in the position I wanted and sprayed it to the side, but those things should continue until the second half and we should be able to show a match without ups and downs.”

He emphasized, “I will make tomorrow better than today, and the day after tomorrow better than tomorrow.”

“What doesn’t become a habit in training or practice games won’t show up on the pitch.

Coach Kim, who emphasized the importance of ‘habits’ by saying, “You have to train and practice and get used to it, it will come out in an instant without you even realizing it,” and plans to make good use of the upcoming international break.

He said, “After the March international break, there wasn’t much of a break.

“I think this period is a really important time to ‘step up,’” he said.

“We plan to increase training time and training volume to prepare for the game against Gangwon FC on the 31st.”

“It just takes time for the coach’s style and desired performance to mature,” he said, adding, “As the atmosphere is improving, a lot of things will come from the coach to this team.”

Jeju’s coach Kim Hak-beom, who lost to Seoul, said, “If we had been a little more focused, we could have played a better game,” and added, “It’s unfortunate that the situation became difficult after the first penalty kick was taken.

This is something we need to work on a little more.”

On this day, Jeju allowed two goals in the first half to Seoul, and their captain, center back Lim Chae-min, was sent off at the end of the second half, suffering their first loss after going undefeated in the first two games (1 win, 1 draw).

“The game felt rough from the beginning today, and I expected it to be like that.

Wouldn’t it have been better if we had calmed down the excitement?” said [Coach Kim](https://outlookindia7.hashnode.dev/invincible-armada-spain-or-undefeated-england), who pondered, adding, “As time passes, we will be able to show a better performance.”
