Reporter Joo Dae-eun (Seoul)] FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong revealed what to be wary of ahead of the match against Daegu FC.
Seoul will have a showdown with Daegu in the sixth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025, which will take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Currently, Seoul ranks fourth in the league with two wins, two draws and one loss (eight points), while Daegu ranks fifth in the league with two wins, one draw and two losses (eight points).
Seoul will start Cho Young-wook, Jung Seung-won, Lingard, Lucas, Ki Sung-yueng, Hwang Do-yoon, Choi Jun, Yazan, Kim Ju-seong, Kim Jin-soo, and Kang Hyun-moo. Baek Jong-beom, Kim Jin-ya, Lee Do-do, Lee Seung-mo, Ryu Jae-moon, Kang Sung-jin, Moon Seon-min, Willian, and Banks are on the waiting list.
Seoul lost to Jeju SK 0-2 in the opening match, but succeeded in reversing the mood by winning 2-1 against FC Anyang in the second round. Since then, the team has had two consecutive draws, and won 1-0 against Gangwon FC, the previous match. After a two-week A-match break, Seoul is aiming for its second consecutive win. It is Daegu.
Ahead of the match against Daegu, Kim Ki-dong said, "(Daegu) used to focus on counterattacks, but now it has changed. I'm going to play from the front while using four backs. Ramas and Yoshino were playing in the form of a game from the back. I think it's changed a lot," he said.
"The ball goes to Cesinha a lot from Ramas' side. I think the point is to prevent the ball from going. Anyway, if the ball is connected to Cesinha ahead, it can threaten us. Wouldn't it be in our favor not to let the ball go that way?" he analyzed.
In Seoul, Yazan will play as a central defender. Yazan, the Jordanian national soccer team, faced South Korea in the eighth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup. Coach Kim Ki-dong explained, "As soon as I returned, I asked for my opinion. I said I would be considerate if I was tired, but he said I would play unconditionally."
Cho Young-wook will play as the starting pitcher. Banks, 메이저사이트 who joined the team this season, will sit on the bench. "Danks is definitely in better condition than before. He is adapting himself to life. At first, he used to be quiet and watchful, but now he has become much brighter," said Kim Ki-dong.
Coach Kim Ki-dong said, "Cho Young-wook also scored a goal in the last game. We can't lose it. (Laughs) I think we should give Cho Young-wook a chance and do what we can, and even if we get better in condition later, we should go in a competitive form," he said.
