Will the grass at the Seoul World Cup Stadium be different from before? FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong and Daegu FC coach Park Chang-hyun mentioned the changed grass.

Seoul and Daegu will hold the sixth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Before the match, Seoul ranked fourth (8 points) in the league and Daegu fifth (7 points). The rankings can be changed depending on the results on the day.

Monday's match will draw attention as foreign players Lingard (Seoul) and Cesinha (Daegu) representing the K-League will have a showdown. One of the biggest concerns is the state of grass at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

The Seoul World Cup Stadium was heavily saturated by fans earlier this month due to poor grass conditions. During the third round of the K League 1 between Seoul and Gimcheon Sangmu on the 3rd, there were frequent scenes where players could not play properly due to grass cut everywhere. In particular, Lingard tripped over the grass while making a change of direction. After the game, he also expressed his regret about the grass on social media. The Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation, which manages the stadium, promised to completely repair it through the A-match break, and the results are expected to come out of the game.

Both coaches expressed the same opinion on the changed grass. "I felt like I was just taking care of grass before, but I think I have increased the ratio of artificial grass this time," coach Kim Ki-dong told reporters. "I stepped on the grass before the game and it made a "square" sound." Coach Park Chang-hyun also said, "Today, the grass made a sound. I think it is mixed with a lot of plastic. I think it can be slippery."

The two teams are aiming to advance to the top ranks by winning the match. Daegu leads by a large margin in recent matches with two wins and three draws. Looking at the flow of the season, Seoul has been showing off its salty defense, in which it has allowed no runs in three consecutive games. Daegu led the game but lost for two consecutive games, receiving somewhat mixed report cards.

"Daegu used to play counterattack soccer after getting off. Now, however, the situation has changed a lot, with Ramas and Yoshino trying to make it from the back," Kim Ki-dong said. "However, it is important to make sure that the ball is not delivered to the frontline Cesinha."

What head coach Kim Ki-dong expects is foreign defender Yazan (Jordan). Yazan drew attention by playing a salty defense against the Korean national soccer team on the 25th. At that time, he was selected as the best player of the game for his performance, including controlling Son Heung-min (Tottenham). "I told Yazan as soon as I got here. He said, 'I feel like I'm watching your special,'" Kim said. "I asked him if he is tired, but he has strong will to participate." "I can't eat well because it's Ramadan, but I do eat well on game days. I understand that the national team also agreed to do so. I don't even drink water during the day." Regarding the handball situation during the match against Korea, Kim smiled, saying, "He shouted 'Allah' saying that he doesn't know because it was too instantaneous."

Meanwhile, Seoul is facing challenges due to its lack of strikers in the early days of the season. On the day, Cho Young-wook, who reported his masu-hugging shot in the previous match, will take the front line again. Foreign striker Banks sat on the bench. "Ducks players are in a better condition than before. They play a lot of pranks in their daily lives. Cho scored a goal in the previous match, but we can't help but lose it. Even if we get better, we will have to compete," Kim said.

Against this backdrop, coach Park Chang-hyun said, "During the break period, we increased the portion of our defensive training," adding, "We tried to bring stability to our defense." He wanted to win three games in four home games, but dominated the game itself, but gave a result. We need to make changes." He also said, "There are many away games now, so let's prepare to bring the results."

In fact, the team surprised the fans by showing off its leadership during the opening period of two consecutive wins. However, Coach Park Chang-hyun said, "I think it was fun for the players to lead the game. As we keep moving forward and overlapping, we seem to have shown our strengths and weaknesses. If we play the game with a certain degree of restraint, we will be able to get to the position we want."

Of course, coach Park Chang-hyun also prefers "offensive soccer." "It's better to hit us than get beaten up," Park said. "As I always say, our atmosphere is Ulsan HD level. We are pursuing what the players want to do. If the results are followed, I think we will gain more energy."

Finally, Park Chang-hyun joked, "Isn't it 'Sangseong' or 'Sangseong' in the match against Seoul? Maybe because we're countrymen, we get more excited when we come to Seoul." 먹튀검증
