Matteus, the ace player in the match against Gangwon Province, played a significant role. Matteus, who started the game, scored the first goal with a sharp shot at a free kick situation in the 21st minute of the first half, and connected Moon Sung-woo's pass with a left-footed shot in a counterattack situation four minutes later, widening the 2-0 gap.
Coach Yoo Byung-hoon's mercenary skills were also on target. Anyang continued to be pushed out by Gangwon in the second half, but it fell to five back and responded. It faced a crisis in the 28th minute of the second half, when Gabriel scored a comeback goal from an opponent's corner kick.
However, Mota and Yago, who substituted each other midway through the second half, sealed the victory. Anyang, which was eying the chance to counterattack, scored a goal after receiving Yago's pass from the opponent team's corner kick in the 43rd minute of the second half. Mota roared loudly, as if confident of victory.
With the victory, Anyang remained in ninth place with six wins, two draws and nine losses (20 points). The team narrowed the gap to less than three points with Gwangju FC (23 points), FC Seoul FC (22 points), and Gangwon FC (21 points), ranking eighth. In addition, the team has widened the gap by four points with Jeju SK SK FC (16 points), ranking 10th.
Anyang, the team that was promoted, showed off its potential after the opening of this season. It recorded five wins and six losses in the first round robin. Manager Yoo Byung-hoon's tactics melted quickly. He improved the completeness of the existing four-hundred tactics and quickly melted down to the three-hundred-card strategy that he had prepared since last season. Manager Yoo Byung-hoon used a mixture of the two tactics depending on the opponent and the situation.
Anyang showed the same performance even though it was its first first division. It was also called the "man's team" as it recorded wins and losses without a draw.
Anyang aimed to "manage points" in May, but began to falter. Showing potential after the opening came back with excessive confidence. Going more aggressively, the stability of the rear was shaken. In a series of games, the team increased the weight of the offense by leading to the first loss, which led to consecutive losses.
In addition, there were even injuries. In particular, concerns about the midfielders grew. Key resources Kim Jung-hyun and Choi Kyu-hyun, who played with injuries, collapsed. Anyang was inevitable to change, and coach Yoo Byung-hoon used Lee Min-soo and Moon Sung-woo, who had impressive performances in the Korea Cup.
Due to tight schedule that runs through weekdays and weekends, coach Yoo Byung-hoon also deployed "Thomas Shift" in the match against Gangwon. Thomas, who had been widely used as a fullback and central defender, has been deployed as a central midfielder. "When Thomas was recruited, what I saw positively was that he is a multiplayer. The situation of the team's midfielder is not good right now. I look forward to energizing the team," coach Yoo said before the match.
Thomas showed stable performance in the match against Gangwon Province. During the full-time period, he recorded a pass success rate of 69.2 percent. He mainly focused on defensive roles. He failed to score a shot, but displayed solid performance with seven times of ball recovery and four times of ball blocking. Above all, he showed strong performance with 14 times of ball recovery (the most in his team). Manager Yoo Byung-hoon praised Thomas' performance. "Thomas was deployed for the first time in the midfield. He lacked a heavy taste, but he showed good defense and reading skills. He showed potential," he said, welcoming new options in the midfield.
He also used proper rotation for offense and defense. He continued physical and condition management including Mota and Kim Woon at the front line and Matheus and Kim Bo-kyung at the second line, Chae Hyun-woo and Park Jung-hoon at the second line, while Lee Chang-yong, Kim Young-chan, Thomas and Joo Hyun-woo, Kang Ji-hoon, Kim Ji-hoon and Park Jong-hyun were assigned to defense according to tactics and situations.
Coach Yoo Byung-hoon, who reported his first win in May after seven matches due to constant concern, said after the match against Gangwon. "My first win in May was too late. I was able to win because of my fans who have supported me so far," he said after the match against Gangwon. "The players are in a bad situation, but the process of continuing changes and improvements," he said. "I have to reflect on my loss in defense of set piece. I will improve well. I will prepare to win consecutive games against Daejeon Hana Citizen, which will be held after two days off."
Anyang has not won consecutive games since the season's opening. It had no win against Gangwon, and now has a chance to rebound. Attention is focusing on whether it will be able to taste its first consecutive wins at the match against Daejeon, which will take place at Anyang Sports Complex in its home stadium on Thursday.
