“There is no point in losing, but I am grateful to the player.”

 

In the end, Go Jeong-woon, with tears in his eyes

There is no shame in losing, but I am grateful to the player.”

Gimpo FC coach Go Jeong-woon, whose eyes were red, tried to smile and say. Although he failed to be promoted to the first division, he said he would try again this year, which opened a bright future.

Coach Go lost 1-2 in the away game against Gangwon FC in the second leg of the 'Hana One Q K-League 2023' promotion and relegation playoff (PO) held at Gangneung Stadium on the 9th. Gimpo, who drew 0-0 in the first leg at home, pushed Gangwon to the end with Jo Seong-kwon's equalizer in the second half of the day when they were down 0-1. However, unexpectedly, as key striker Luis was sent off, the team bowed out, allowing multiple goals to Gabriel.

Gimpo, ranked 3rd in K League 2, passed the promotion PO and played home and away with Gangwon, ranked 10th in K League 1. However, the dream of becoming the first division had to be promised next time.

Next is a Q&A with Coach Go

- What are your thoughts on the game?

It seems like there is no such thing as ‘Jijalssa’. When you lose a game, the atmosphere is always like that. However, if our players play games like this and try to fulfill our current goals, personal aspects, and team aspects, I think we will be a good team next year as well. Playing in such a big game is a good experience for the player. This is the income we take from finishing today’s game.

- Lewis left at a crucial moment.

It's not intentional. I think I hit my opponent with my elbow while falling and trying to shake him off. That player is not that kind of personality.

-What did you say to the player after the game?

I didn't say anything. 'Good job' he said as I touched his face. There were many shortcomings during the year. I would like to say thank you to the player who came this far despite being scolded a lot by the coach. This is not the end. I will keep this in mind as there will be another stage like this next year. I hope I don’t experience this kind of pain next year.

-What are your plans for next year?

I haven't thought about that yet. It took a lot of energy to prepare for one game. My head breaks. So much has happened personally this year. However, the (new) mayor of (Gimpo) has come, and I think he will give us a lot of budget because he sees our potential.

- How would you grade this year out of 100?

Well, I would like to give it 80 points. The 20 points need to be improved upon next year. The former player plays hard. Among them, Kim Tae-han, Jo Seong-kwon, and Park Kyung-rok worked very hard in the three back line. And even though Luis had this accident, he scored a lot of goals from the front and even helped Juninho. Although his skills were lacking, he was very active and organized and did what the director wanted. Isn’t that why you came this far in two years? I am especially grateful to the supporters. When I took office in 2020, one person came and cheered me on. I am proud that there are now more passionate Gimpo fans. 30-40% are young fans. Gimpo has a bright future.
