Lee Seung-woo expressed regret that he played at a temporary home Yongin, not at his home stadium.
The team lost to Sydney FC 0-2 in the first quarterfinal match of the AFC Champions League 2 (ALC2) held at Mir Stadium in Yongin, South Korea, at 7 p.m. on Sunday. As a result, Jeonbuk is on the verge of being eliminated from the quarterfinals ahead of the second round match in Australia.
Jeonbuk, which made all-out efforts by starting players Kompanyo, Jeon Jin-woo and Kwon Chang-hoon, failed to finish even after creating chances due to frustrating performance. In the end, it allowed multiple goals to Patric Klimala in the 36th minute of the first half and the 21st minute of the second half, and fell to the knees 0-2.
Starting from the bench, Lee took turns with Kwon Chang-hoon at the 12th minute of the second half. However, he failed to prevent his team from losing the match. "I'm so sad that I lost the match. We still have the second round to go. I think the players need to prepare well for the second match starting from the weekend's match against Gangwon."
Even though it was a home game, Jeonbuk did not enjoy any advantage. In February, AFC conducted a live-action survey on the ground of the Jeonju World Cup Stadium, but it failed to pass and had to find an alternative stadium. Eventually, Sydney was greeted at Yongin Mir Stadium, close to 180 kilometers away, and not only the team but also the fans had to suffer inconvenience while playing an away game-like schedule. 2,561 people who visited the stadium cheered enthusiastically on the day, but only about 600 fans came from Jeonju, which caused regret by holding a neutral stadium.
As the grass problem at the K-League stadium has become more serious recently, Lee Seung-woo also pointed out this in a league game against Ulsan HD just before. "I think it was the best place among the places I played," Lee said after stepping on the grass at Mir Stadium. 토토사이트
"Wouldn't it have been more advantageous if we had done it in Jeonju (Jeonju World Cup Stadium)? If we had done it in Jeonju, the atmosphere and the support of the home fans would have been more different, and I think it would have been better if we received more support. The support (because of the difference between Yongin and Jeonju) was the biggest. In Jeonju, so many fans come to see us. I think it's great that we get a lot of support because we can show good performances in Jeonju," he said.
Team Jeonbuk has lost for two consecutive official matches for the first time this year. "They were doing well right now, but they lost once in the league recently and lost in the first round of the ALC2 quarterfinals. Since the season is long and we haven't failed in the ALC2 yet, we will be able to do well if the players prepare well," Lee said.
