Gimpo FC coach Ko Jung-woon, who emerged as a natural enemy with an unbeaten victory over Suwon Samsung last year, is determined to win the confident game.

Gimpo FC and Suwon Samsung will face each other in the seventh round of Hana Bank's K League 2022 2026 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 12th.

Gimpo is a natural enemy with one win and two draws against Suwon last year. Coach Ko Jung-woon met with reporters before the game and said, "There is no perfect team. In particular, no one can predict the outcome in the second division, he said. "Suwon is a good team, but it will have its own concerns. We will also find a solution and play today," he said.

Kimpo is ranked ninth with two wins, two draws, one loss and eight points this season. Based on his solid defense, he showed off his salty defense by allowing only five runs in five games. In particular, in the away game of Daegu FC in the last round, Lewis' dramatic equalizer in the second half of the extra time helped him gain valuable points and gain momentum.

On this day, Gimpo placed Luane and Dongjin Park at the forefront and set up Luis, Dijuma, Kim Do-hyuk and Lee Hak-min in the midfield. Kim Min-sik, Kim Tae-han, Chapman and Lee Chan-hyung make up the four-back, and Son Jung-hyun protects the goal.

Regarding the recent away match, head coach Ko Jung-woon said, "Kimpo is a team that has been on the road for more than 10 games since his birth in 2022. I don't tell the players that it's hard from me," he said with a smile and added, "I'm glad there's at least a practice stadium this year. We should not blame the environment and push ahead in a given situation," he said calmly.

He refuted the assessment that Gimpo football is somewhat rough. Coach Ko Jung-woon said, "Kimpo now plays technical soccer," adding, "Our team's share has been last for the past two years. "I'm good at taking it away, but I'm good at taking it away as well, so soccer was difficult," he said.

Coach Ko Jung-woon then said, "This year, players such as Kim Do-hyuk, Lee Hak-min, and Luan came in, and they had time to take the ball and rest. I paid a lot of attention to the build-up and share, and I'm also satisfied," he explained.

He also emphasized tactical flexibility. Coach Ko Jung-woon said, "In modern soccer, the concept of four-back and three-back numbers is meaningless. What use is tactical numbers when all 20 people are in a small space. In the end, it's a question of how smart he is," he said, adding, "Kimpo is demanding soccer that takes it from a high position and solves it right away."

Finally, coach Ko Jung-woon said, "Luan returned after three games. With these players, they own the ball even in difficult situations. It is also very helpful in the physical fitness of my colleagues, he said. "The goal in April was 3 wins and 1 draw, but the only regrettable loss against Gyeongnam FC is. I will make a good result against Suwon today," he vowed.
