Soon Kim Ming became an outsider again, watching the Seoul FC game. FC Seoul played seven games in the new season, won six and drew one, and won four and drew one in five rounds of league games, becoming the best team in form this season.

Although there were some ups and downs in the next Seoul FC form, it was still very good. After the fifth round of matches in the K-League, Seoul FC played two consecutive matches in the Korean League Cup.

In the third round of the League Cup group stage, Seoul FC faced Gyeongnam FC away. In this match, Li Qinglong continued his excellent performance, scoring the only goal in the game. In the end, it was a 1-0 away win over Gyeongnam FC.

In the fourth round of the League Cup group stage, Seoul FC faced Daejeon Citizens away from home. It may be that there have been too many games lately, and Seoul FC's form has been affected, and it ended up being a 1-1 draw.

The results in the group stage of the League Cup are still very good. FC Seoul have played four games so far, with three wins and one draw. In addition to the leading position in the group stage.

It's a pity that in this game, Seoul FC has suffered a lot of losses. Park Joo-young, a talented striker who has exploded this season, is injured in this game and needs to rest for two months.

Park Joo-young has been FC Seoul's biggest scorer this season, scoring three goals in five league games, five goals in four League Cup games, and eight goals for FC Seoul since the start of the season, making him FC's top scorer. Including a hat-trick against Suwon Samsung. Unexpectedly, he was injured in the Daejeon Citizens' competition.

Park Joo-young's injury was a big blow to Seoul FC. At the beginning of the season, striker Kim Eun-jung, who is also a veteran of Seoul FC, was injured and is currently in the hospital. Kim Eun-jung and Park Joo-young have been injured one after another, which has a huge impact on Seoul FC's attack. Although Zheng Guoguo is also a good striker, he is not as experienced as Kim Yinjung, nor as talented as Park Joo-yong.

It is difficult for Zheng Guoguo to play the role of the first brother of the front line alone.

On April 15, 2007, Seoul FC hosted Ulsan Hyundai FC. Ulsan Hyundai, like Seoul FC, has never won the Asian championship, but it is also a strong team within the K-League. In the face of such a strong team, the problem of Seoul FC's attacking power in the front line is very obvious.

In the game, Zheng Guoguo and Shen Yuran partnered. Lacking Park Joo-young's Seoul FC forward partner, the strength has dropped a notch. It was simply impossible to break through the defense line of Ulsan Hyundai. Still relying on a strong defense, it was the home team that ended up with a 0-0 draw.

The game was a tough one, almost beating Ulsan Hyundai.

On April 22, 2007, Seoul FC challenged Pohang Steelers away. This is a traditional powerhouse of the K-League with a glorious history, winning the AFC Club Cup in the late 90s.

In this game, Seoul FC didn't talk about attack, if it weren't for the efforts of the backline, they were directly beaten by Pohang Steelers. Fortunately, the back line was strong, and in the end, he reluctantly won 0-0 again.

After the start of the season, the invincible Seoul FC hit a huge bottleneck. Moreover, the state of young players such as Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong, who are unexpectedly outstanding this season, has also begun to be unstable.

"Zenor, now the team is short of major generals, whether Ricardo will let him play. His strength is still outstanding. ”

South Korea's football competition is definitely more intensive than the Chinese Super League. The K-League has a total of fourteen teams, so the K-League has twenty-six rounds. In addition to the K-League, South Korea also has the League Cup.

South Korea's League Cup is a round-robin of two groups, with each team playing ten games in the group stage. And these competitions are held in the middle of three months from March to June. In other words, in addition to the thirteen league games in the first half of the season, the K-League clubs will also play 10 League Cup group games in three months. There are 23 games to be played in total, and the intensity of the game is very high.

After the end of the first half of the season, Korean football began to play the FA Cup again in the second half of the season. Therefore, a strong team like South Korea, especially a strong team that can go to the end of the cup competition, has to play 40 games in a season just in domestic competitions. Coupled with the AFC Champions League, it is common for a strong team in South Korea's K-League to play nearly 50 games in a season.

FC Seoul has only played about a dozen games now and has started to see a wave of injuries. Choi Yong-so also had no choice, so he mentioned Ricardo. Ricardo is a foreign player for the club, and his salary is the highest among Seoul FC players, several times that of local players. It's a waste to have a foreign player like him sit on the bench.

"No, I can't. Let him go in the middle of the season, or at the end of the season. ”

There is a lot of pressure on the results now, but Güneš has no idea of thawing Ricciardo. Han Tinghe was pushed down because Güneshi wanted to cultivate Ji Chengyong. Although the current strength of Han Tinghe is not under Ji Chengyong, the young Ji Chengyong obviously has great potential. Therefore, Han Tinghe can still play from time to time.

But Ricardo is different. Ricardo was too loose in training, and after being punished by Güneş, he actually had a soft confrontation with Güneş, so he was pressed down by Güneş.

"So, Jin Ming. Is it possible to reduce his suspension? ”

The Korean Football Association banned Kim Ming for five games, and one more game was over. But Güneş added a three-game ban to Jin Ming, which means that there are four more games to go.

At present, Seoul FC has blocked Ricardo on the offensive line, and Han Tinghe has a poor relationship with several talented people who have come out of the academy. Park Joo-yong and Kim Eun-jung were injured, and they can be described as major generals who lack troops. Jin Ming is young, but he is also an effective supplement as a substitute.

"That's not going to work."

Güneš still shook his head. Then he said to Cui Yongzhu: "Cui, in the future, you will coach independently, and you must understand that there is one." A coach can't just change his decision, even if it's wrong. What's more, Jin Ming was banned, this was for his good. The results are temporary, but the development of players takes time. ”

"But, Zenor. You are the first foreign coach in the history of our FC Seoul, and everyone has paid a lot of attention. If you don't get good grades, it will affect you. ”

Choi Yong-so and Güneshi work well together. Choi Yong-so is young and has just retired. Choi Yong-so's goal is to become the head coach of Seoul FC in the future, and he is willing to learn under Güneş. And even if Günesh leaves and another head coach comes, Choi Yong-ju will continue to be an assistant coach. So Choi Yong-so is really willing to think about Günesh.

With two draws in a row, there have been a lot of media outlets that have begun to criticize Güneš. And Güneche's crimes are not one or two. Blindly promoting young players, deposing Ricardo, stubbornness, etc.

"Choi. I have a good idea of this season's results, and I was already mentally prepared when I used Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong. I have made an agreement with Xu that the results will not affect my position. ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

Choi Yong-so breathed a sigh of relief. Choi Yong-so understands that what Güneshi is talking about is not Heo Kyung-hyuk, the athletic director of Seoul FC, but the backstage owner of the club and the head of GS Group, Heo Chang-so. Only Xu Changxiu is qualified to give Güneshi such a guarantee.

"Thank you. When you get to the training ground, don't express your thoughts in this regard. Whatever it should be is what it is. ”

"I know."

The sluggish results in the recent period have affected the players of the entire Seoul FC. Everyone on the training ground had no energy, and their expressions were stern.

"Jin Ming, now that there is a shortage of players, will the coach end the ban early?"

Ji Chengyong is in a bad mood because there has been more criticism about him recently. There is no longer the strength of the beginning of the season, and the more impatient the performance, the worse it becomes. He misses Jin Ming's speed a little.

"I don't know."

What is repression, Jin Ming can be regarded as a teacher. I didn't play, I didn't feel that way when I sat on the bench every day at the beginning of the season, but now it's a completely different feeling. Seeing the team becoming more and more awkward on the field, Jin Ming really wanted to go up and contribute by himself.

It's really uncomfortable to hold on, to hold back. The idea of playing on the pitch has never been more urgent.

It's a pity that Güneshi has no idea of reducing the number of banned games, and Jin Ming still can't enter the squad. Each game can only be a spectator and watch the Seoul FC game.

On April 25, 2007, the Korean League Cup continued. FC Seoul finally got a win, beating Gwangju Sangmu 2-0 at home. But there is nothing to be happy about, because Gwangju Sangmu is the weakest club in the K-League, and relegation this season is a sure underdog. It can also be seen from their salaries that the highest-paid player in their club has an annual salary of 20 million won. It cannot be compared with Seoul FC, Suwon Samsung, Jeonbuk Hyundai, and a large number of clubs with an annual salary of more than 100 million won.

Fresh after the victory over Gwangju Sangmu, Seoul FC hosted Gyeongnam FC on April 28. Gyeongnam FC is a young club, just look at their history just by looking at how young they are. It was founded in 2005 and joined the K-League in 2006.

However, their head coach is Cho Kwang-rae, a big man in South Korean football. As a player, Zhao Guanglai, who was born in Yonsei University, is Xu Dingmao's junior brother and Lee Jang-so's senior brother.

Zhao Guanglai is best known for his training of young players. When he coached Anyang LG, the predecessor of Seoul FC, he single-handedly cultivated Lee Young-pyo, Lee Jung-so, and Park Joo-young, and also single-handedly introduced the young Lee Qinglong into the Seoul FC academy.

This time, facing the old owner and leading the young team of Qingyang FC, Cho Guanglai defeated Seoul FC 3-0 away. It was the first time FC Seoul lost this season.

Seoul FC have drawn two and lost one of the three league rounds, and only got two points. The ranking has also plummeted from the first place in the K League, and now it has fallen out of the top two.
