Cha Du-ri (44), a former star player, and Yoon Jeong-hwan (52), a former coach, will have their first showdown of the season to engage in mercenary skills. Cha Du-ri, a former member of the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan, has led Hwaseong FC, which made his debut in the second division of this season, and is performing well with one win, three draws and one loss since the season's opening. At Hwaseong General Gyeonggi Town on Saturday at 2 p.m., the team will have its first showdown with Incheon by Yoon Jeong-hwan.
Cha Du-ri played as a representative under Guus Hiddink, who led Korean soccer to the semi-finals at the World Cup, and Yoon Jeong-hwan blossomed soccer under the guidance of Valerie Nifomnisi at the Forbidden City SK, drawing keen attention to his showdown as a leader. Incheon United, where Yoon took the helm this season, is ranking second with three wins, one draw and one loss and 10 points.
Incheon, which ranks second behind No. 1 Seoul E-Land in winning percentage and multiple points, is aiming for promotion after a year of relegation. It will preview seven matches in the sixth round of the "Hana Bank K League 2" on May 5 and 6.
◆ Match of Round: 'Minimum number of points' Gimpo vs 'Most points' Bucheon
The two teams, which are quiet but have been cruising steadily in the league this season, will clash. This is why the showdown is even more curious. The notable match in the sixth round is the first face-off of the season between Gimpo and Bucheon.
Kimpo, the home team, has had two wins, two draws and one loss in its five matches since the opening. The 2-3 defeat by Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province in the third round is painful, but it has allowed no runs in all other matches. Soccer based on coach Ko Jung-woon's unique teamwork is shining.
In particular, Gimpo is raising the mood by securing a 2-0 complete victory against Cheonan in the previous fifth round. Lewis, who is in his third year at Gimpo, scored three goals early this season and is still in good shape, while Cho Sung-joon, who moved from Pohang, is also showing his presence in the side. In the midfield, Dijuma and Lee Sang-min play the role of housekeeper, adding stability to the team.
Starting with the match against Bucheon, Gimpo will face tricky teams such as Asan, South Gyeongsang Province, South Jeolla Province, and Incheon, so it seems important to get the first step right.
If Gimpo plays a solid defense, Bucheon is characterized by explosive offense. Bucheon scored 10 points this season, making it on the top scoring team along with the league's leading Seoul E-Land. Foreign players' performances shone here. Gallego, who wore the Bucheon uniform this season after playing in Gangwon and Jeju in the K League 1, is the top scorer in the team with three goals, while Montagno, who made a fast impression in Jeonnam and Seoul E-Land, is also gradually melting into the team. On top of that, Basani, who was the ace in the last season, is still active in all games this season, scoring one goal and one assist.
Bucheon's homework, however, is unstable in defense. It lost points in all five games this season. Coach Lee Young-min cited lack of experience rather than problematic teamwork of defense players, which will likely get better as the team plays games.
Bucheon had three wins in three matches last season. The match between the league's lowest-scoring team and the highest-scoring team will take place at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. 먹튀검증
◆ Team of Round: Seongnam, which has become stronger by enduring numerical inferiority
Seongnam has changed. Seongnam finished the season in the bottom place after suffering from two managerial changes last season, but it has changed dramatically this season. Coach Jeon Kyung-joon, who joined the team in the middle of last season, has been together since the beginning of this season, but he is currently undefeated with two wins and three draws after winning against Hwaseong in 254 days in the opening game. Seongnam is the only team with no losses this season in both the K League 1 and 2.
