[K리그1 프리뷰] This season’s first’Gyeongin Derby’…Incheon-Seoul, a fierce confrontation notice

[인터풋볼] Reporter Oh Jong-heon =’Gyeongin Theby’ is back. Both teams need to win, so a fierce match is expected.

Incheon United and FC Seoul will play the fourth round of’Hanawon Q K League 1 2021′ at 7 pm on the 13th at the Incheon Football Stadium. Currently, Incheon is ranked 8th in the league with 1 win and 2 losses (3 points) and Seoul is 1 win and 2 losses in the league, but it is pushed to Incheon from multiple points and is ranked 9th (3 points).

The first’Gyeongin Derby’ will be held this season. The two teams that were connected to Incheon naturally formed rivals, and aroused hot interest and topic in each confrontation. In their career record, Seoul dominates with 22 wins, 17 draws and 13 losses. But recently, Incheon is strong. After losing in the first confrontation last season, he is recording two consecutive wins.

The most recent match was the final league match in Sangam last season. At that time, Incheon succeeded in residing dramatically with Incheon winning 1-0 against Seoul. There was also a regret. Incheon’s miraculous drama deserves applause, but in the situation of Corona 19, there was criticism due to excessive support from away fans at the time. The two teams, which still have a lot of money, change places and are predicting a fierce game once again.

First of all, they all need victory. Home team Incheon lost 1-3 to Ulsan Hyundai in the last 3 rounds during the week. It raised the atmosphere by capturing Daegu FC, but Ulsan showed a competitive performance like’candidate to win’. Nevertheless, Incheon showed its potential, such as Kim Gwang-seok made an equalizer in the third minute of the second half even in the situation where the first goal was allowed.

In particular, it is positive that Incheon operates a scoring point every game. At its center is Aguilar. Aguilar, who assisted Kim Gwang-seok’s header goal as a corner kicker in the match against Ulsan, has already scored one goal each in the first and second rounds. In Incheon, it is unclear that the’Jupo’ Mugosa will participate in the Seoul exhibition. In this situation, Aguilar’s ability to create scoring opportunities and scoring goals is important.

Against this, Seoul lost 0-1 in the weekday expedition to Seongnam. In the first half, Seoul was struggling with the strong pressure of Seongnam. Although his performance improved in the second half, Ki Sung-yong’s shot hit the goal in the 18th minute of the second half, and the opportunity to score was not saved. Eventually, at the end of the game, Mulic was awarded the penalty goal and the winning goal. It was regrettable that the atmosphere of a 3-0 win against Suwon FC could not be maintained.

Seoul, aiming for a reversal, is putting hope at Ki Sung-yong’s feet. Although it provided an excuse to conceded in Seongnam, Ki Sung-yong played a role as the starting point of the attack. The peculiar’delivery service’, such as the scene where he assisted Na Sang-ho’s goal against Suwon FC, was still valid, and a shot hitting the goal was also shown. Whether starting or replacing, if Ki Sung-yong plays, a sharp kick is bound to be the most threatening entity in Incheon.
