It is a match-winner to replace the main goalkeeper in four rounds. The new team, which is in a hurry to win the professional stage, pulled out its sword.

Yongin FC and Hwaseong FC will face each other in the fourth round of Hana Bank's K League 2022 2026 at Hwaseong General Gyeonggi Town Main Stadium on the afternoon of the 22nd.

Yongin, a new team that was founded this year and took its first step on the professional stage, has yet to report its first win, recording one draw and two losses in the previous three games.

In a situation where a desperate victory is needed, coach Choi Yoon-kyum of Yongin said in a pre-match interview with Hwaseong, "K2 is not a place where only technology is necessary. I asked the players to play systematically, regardless of their age, and to be rougher and messier."It was revealed that.

This season's opponent Mars is not bad. In the opening match, he slowed down by losing 0-1 to Daegu FC, a member of K League 1, last year, but defeated another new team, Gimhae FC 2008, 2-0 in the second round. Then, in the third round against Cheonan City, they accumulated points with a 2-2 draw.

On the other hand, Yongin has yet to win since the opening. They drew 2-2 with Cheonan in the opening game, but lost 1-3 against Suwon FC in the second round and Gimpo FC in the third round, respectively.

Coach Choi Yoon-kyum showed a winning move to replace the gatekeeper. Hwang Sung-min will wear goalie gloves against Hwaseong instead of Novo, who was expected to be a foreign goalkeeper in the K-League for the first time in 28 years. Novo has allowed eight runs in three games, including the opening game. Coach Choi Yoon-kyum said, "Labor has a lot of runs, so there is a lack of motivation. However, this is not just a problem for Novo, but it should be complemented by less shooting or preparing for crosses in defensive situations, he said. "When it doesn't work, we also need timing to take a break once in a while." If Hwang Sung-min plays well and gives him a sense of stability, it will be an opportunity to become the main player," he explained.

Hwaseong coach Cha Du-ri previously evaluated Yongin as a strong team with many experienced players. In response, head coach Choi Yoon-kyum said, "I think Cha Du-ri has only wrapped up our team's strengths well. "The advantage is that the players understand quickly and adapt quickly," he said, "They are functionally excellent players, but they still have to develop systematically."

Yongin will place Kim Min-woo, Lee Kyu-dong, Kim Han-seo, and Lee Seung-joon in the second line with Yoo Dong-gyu at the one-top. Shin Jin-ho will play defensive midfielder, while Kim Hyun-joon, Lim Chae-min, Kwak Yun-ho and Cha Seung-hyun will be in charge of four backs. Hwang Seong-min protects the goal.
