Daejeon Hana Citizen,카지노사이트 which was promoted to the K-League 1 in professional football this year, is continuing an unexpected blast. 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses until round 12, 3rd place with 21 points. It is all the more surprising in that the only one loss of 1st place Ulsan Hyundai (31 points) was a 1-2 loss to Daejeon.
The Daejeon squad is relatively young. There are quite a few veterans in their mid-30s in other teams, but in Daejeon, goalkeeper Jeong San (34) is the oldest.
In terms of field players, there are side defender Oh Jae-seok (33) and midfielder Ju Se-jong (33). Oh Jae-seok is well known as the main player in the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, and Joo Se-jong made a long pass with Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) goalkeeper back to Son Heung-min’s key goal during the match against Germany at the 2018 Russia World Cup. It is vividly imprinted as a resource that recorded help.

3rd in total audience-average audience supported by Hana Financial Group, the power of the crowd is making Daejeon dance
Joo Se-jong is the captain and is controlling the team. He plays the role of a link between offense and defense in a game, but also plays a role of a fighting cock that does not lose in a fight by actively intervening in a fight with an opponent.
In the match against Suwon FC in the 12th round of Hana 1 Q K League 1 held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 10th, he actively fought against the opponent. I tasted the joy of a 2-1 victory while gaining the upper hand in midfield. Jeon Byeong-gwan of Yao Yao-ui scored the winning goal. Jeon Byeong-gwan, who received Joo Se-jong’s penetrating pass, split the net with an exciting shot.
On this day, 8,377 spectators visited the stadium. Almost all of the spectator seats on the first floor of the stadium were occupied except for the north side, where the visiting team was seated. Daejeon fans responded to the enthusiastic atmosphere. It is encouraging in that there were the second largest number of spectators during the week after FC Seoul.
In this atmosphere, wouldn’t it be certain to enter the Split Round Final A (1st to 6th place)? However, Joo Se-jong is no different from coach Lee Min-seong, who repeatedly shouts, “The goal of Daejeon is to remain.” He emphasized the goal of survival, saying, “Daejeon is not a team that has confirmed retention. Until (remaining) is confirmed, it is most important to prepare in line with that goal and think about a better position if confirmed later.”
Director Lee said that he lives by covering up the numbers that inform his ranking. The same goes for Ju Sejong. He said, “After the first round robin and the next robin, we are preparing to meet the goal of a few wins set by the coach. In fact, it is true that expectations for the match are rising. We are preparing by focusing on the first goal.”
The day before the match against Suwon FC, Ulsan beat Gangwon FC 1-0. Central defender Kim Young-kwon said, “We have more points than I thought, regardless of whether we have fewer or fewer, we have more losses. My goal was not to lose even one loss. Although one loss is unpleasant, we have to make sure that one loss continues from now on.” The first loss was a 1-2 loss at home to Daejeon.

Daejeon, the only record of 1 loss to 1st place Ulsan, 2 losses?
Will Kim Young-kwon do what he wants? Joo Se-jong said, “I don’t know how the coach and coaching staff will prepare, but no matter who I meet, I will not give up on Daejeon until the end. I am trying to keep showing what I have prepared. I think there will be good results like that,” he said, showing his will to win on the expedition.
There is another reason to look forward to it. It is the performance of young players. It is that young blood such as attacker Jeon Byeong-gwan born in 2002, midfielder Bae Jun-ho born in 2003 and also on the U-20 national team, and defender Lim Deok-geun born in 2000 are playing an active role in each position.
How does Joo Se-jong, who plays together in Daejeon in the second half of last year, feel about them? He said, “I felt that there were so many good players on the team. The players were really lacking in confidence. However, as we prepared for this year, the young players started to gain confidence from winter training. I feel good as a senior because I’ve been showing those kinds of things in games lately.”
It is positive that they are showing good performance in the K-League 1. Joo Se-jong also agreed, saying, “There are many players who are young but have potential in K League 2. Of course, it is not easy for them to show their skills in K League 1. So, I want to praise them for their persistence in K League 1.” Expected.
Daejeon gathered a total of 81,557 spectators in its 6 home games, recording an average of 13.593 per game. 3rd place overall Daejeon citizens’ interest in the game is detected everywhere. The employees of Seongsimdang, a bakery that is the symbol of Daejeon, wear uniforms to work.
Joo Se-jong also said, “(Suwon FC) told the players before the game, ‘Even though it’s a weekday, so many people came. I worked hard,” he said, adding that he feels good that the fans brought good performances and results.
Daejeon is fully supported by the parent company, Hana Financial Group. We are trying to operate efficiently by running the B team and raising potential players to the 1st team. For a virtuous cycle to continue, it is possible to endure to the end only when appropriate reinforcements are made in the summer transfer market. An example is that the citizen club Gwangju FC, which was promoted together, began to show limitations and went down to 8th place.
Young Player Award – I hope that Daejeon players’ names will be listed in the Best 11
Joo Se-jong said that there is a unique characteristic of the Daejeon team, “Even players who have been injured due to injuries always come to the game meeting or opponent analysis meeting and watch it together. When talking about what kind of soccer to play, everyone gathers and talks. So even if a new player comes in, the role is played. He diagnosed.
The more important the role of the leader becomes. Joo Se-jong was the youngest at Busan I-Park and the middle at FC Seoul. Now that time has passed, it is the best in Daejeon. He can lead the team to his heart’s content according to his own ability.
He said, “(Among the field players excluding the goalkeeper), there is no other senior than (Oh) Jae-seok hyung. When I show my skills on the pitch while working with my juniors and the results come out, I didn’t know well in the past, but these days I seem to be happy.” He showed satisfaction.
If so, can the names of juniors rise to the Young Player Award or the Best 11 in this year’s year-end competition? Joo Se-jong was confident and said, “I hope that as many Daejeon players as possible can enter the Best Eleven as well as the Young Player Award. I want to see it.”
It is Ju Se-jong who knows that it is difficult for Daejeon to ride the upward trend. In the summer when the schedule is tight, a crisis can surely come. Ju Se-jong, who looked at the team calmly, said, “Compared to the players of other K-League 1 teams, the Daejeon team is far superior in individual ability or not really perfect tactically. All of our players think that way. So, what we can do is the stadium. “It’s to press the opponent for 90 minutes without really leaving any power. If you do that, you can get a chance luckily.”
It is true that it is not possible to throw one’s body and put a fighting spirit first in all 38 games. He said, “It seems that good things continue to happen as the players throw their bodies. The grades are good now, but you should never be satisfied. There is,” he said, expressing the meaning that the organizational power should not collapse.
Towards the end of the conversation, I asked a nasty question, asking if Hana Financial Group, a strong support force, would need special support. It is even more so in that many of the executives visited the stadium even before Suwon FC. Fans welcome Chairman Ham Young-joo more than anyone else. In a meeting with Spotify News after the match against Jeju United last year, Seon-sang Oh Jae-seok also left a witty remark, saying, “I hope the chairman (Ham Young-joo) gives more strength.”
Joo Se-jong also laughed and said, “(You will support) a lot.” It is a cool yet warm ‘Spring Day in Daejeon’ that shows the current state of Daejeon with a good atmosphere.
