"It's not even 100%, it's 1,000% my fault."

After suffering a 0-7 crushing defeat against FCSeoul at home, setting a club record for most goals conceded and largest margin of loss in history, Yoo Byung-hoon, manager of FCAnyang, bowed his head and took full responsibility upon himself.

On the 22nd at 7:30 p.m., Anyang played a home match against Seoul at Anyang Stadium in the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 Round 24, conceding five goals in the first half alone and ultimately losing 0-7 in a one-sided defeat.

This surpassed their previous 2-6 loss to Bucheon in the K League 2 in 2017, marking the most goals conceded and largest margin of loss in a single match in club history.

With this result, Anyang fell into a four-game losing streak in the regular season following losses to Ulsan HD (1-3), Daejeon Hana Citizen (1-2), and Ulsan (1-3), remaining in seventh place with 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses).

After entering the post-match press conference room, manager Yoo Byung-hoon paused briefly before answering a question about his thoughts. "I am truly sorry for showing such a sight to our fans in such an important match," he said. "Today's game was prepared and decided by me. It is not 100%, it is 1,000% my fault. The fans supported us passionately without giving up until the end."

He continued, "It is clear that Anyang is in a definite crisis right now. We will strive to turn this crisis into an opportunity and prepare for the next match."

When asked about the situation when he entered the locker room after conceding five goals in the first half, Manager Yoo spoke up. "I could no longer watch our opponents provoking us at home," he said. "I emphasized to the players that this was a matter of Anyang's pride." He added, "While it may be difficult to overturn the score, I urged them to show a strong will not to give up mentally and to win."

Regarding the background of struggling throughout the match due to Seoul's intense forward pressure, he said, "It wasn't that we failed to prepare; rather, despite having prepared, I failed to make the players fully understand. It is not the players' fault. As the manager, I should have paid closer attention."

On tactical execution, he stated, "We should have achieved results by engaging in one-on-one battles with a strategy tailored for Seoul, but we faced great difficulty escaping their strong pressure." He added, "It's not just today's match; recently, we've been conceding goals continuously. Whether we change the formation or adopt another approach, we will find ways to improve."

Although emphasizing "our own style of play" before the match, Manager Yoo addressed the direction that led to a four-game losing streak: "There have been changes in about three players on the team, and we are going through a process of adjusting our new rhythm. There has been misalignment in attack development and instability in defense." He noted, "In the current situation, more important than tactical adjustments is for the players to understand and consider each other more deeply and rebuild organizational cohesion."
