It is a 'spark of promotion team' that has been brought to K League 1. Gwangju FC, led by head coach Lee Jung-hyo 48, is having the best season in the club's history, ranking third in the first season of promotion 42 points, 11 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses. It is highly likely to break the record for the most points 48 set in the club's history in the 2016 season, and is likely to surpass the highest ranking in the club's history 2020 season, 6th place.

With five regular rounds and five split rounds left, many predict Gwangju's first advance to the Asian Football Confederation Champions League ACL. However, Lee says, "I'm focusing on the next game, not the ranking table." In a recent phone call with Sports Dong-A, he did not relax, saying, "There are only 10 games left in the season, but there are still 10 games left."

Gwangju returned to the first division stage for the first time in a year by winning the K League 2 last season with the record of the most points 86. However, concerns were greater than expectations. This is because Daejeon Hana Citizen, which was promoted before the opening, recruited a large number of quasi-scale resources, while Gwangju's power reinforcement was small. Despite the recruitment of Asani Albania, Thomas Brazil, and Timo The Netherlands, many pointed out that there are no outstanding stars.

He erased his concerns by performing well, but the situation in Gwangju is still not good. Recently, Gwangju Metropolitan City and the club have promised to improve the training environment with the goal of building a dedicated training ground, but it is said that it is still in the review stage. Due to the insufficient budget, he only recruited Becca Georgia, a replacement for Sandro Brazil, who was expelled due to unlicensed driving in the summer transfer market. 스포츠토토

However, Lee has no doubt about Gwangju's bright future. "My mission is to make Gwangju a team that players want to come to," he said, drawing the growth of promising players from the club's youth, including Lee Hee-kyun, Um Ji-sung and Jung Ho-yeon. As the team's performance and performance followed, midfielder Lee Soon-min was selected for the national soccer team led by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann for the first time in his life. Coach Lee said, "Due to the team's circumstances, we need to grow backup players and strengthen our power." "The priority is to maintain performance until the opening of the split round," he stressed.
