"There is no player to finish."
FC Seoul, which was mentioned as a "winner" along with the construction of the most spectacular squad of the 2025 season, is very slow in its early moves. Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong, who finished the away game in the fourth round of the K League 1 against Suwon FC with a 0-0 draw on the 8th, sighed deeply.
As he said, "empty." Seoul had one win, two draws and one loss (five points) in four matches, but only scored two goals. Coincidentally, Seoul had one win, two draws and one loss during the same period last season, when Kim Ki-dong was in his first year. However, he had three goals, one more than any other goal at the time. Three lost goals each. In defense, he has an ERA in the 0-point range, but he has lost strength in offense.
Seoul had high expectations last winter as it recruited a wide range of representative offense and defense resources, including transfer market, Moon Seon-min, Jeong Seung-won, and Kim Jin-soo. All of them were viewed as resources that could help coach Kim to quickly transform into an offense. However, his strength is not clear in the first four games. As Kim said, the absence of a front-line striker focusing on offense is another factor. Seoul, which sent Ilyuchenko, who finished second in scoring with 14 goals last season, to Suwon Samsung, was slow to receive substitute blood. Recently, he hired a Croatian player, who was absent from the match against Suwon FC due to cold. As he just joined Seoul, he needs time to adapt himself.
The weakness of the front line also makes the forward progress of fullback Kim's goal meaningless. Kim Jin-soo and Choi Jun attempted four and five crosses, respectively, on the day, but they only succeeded once.
The bigger problem is that his overall performance does not meet expectations, regardless of whether he has a goal scorer or not. He often struggles under strong opposition pressure. He also has some tactics to fill the weaknesses of the front line. Lingard, the "captain" of the team's offense, is also deteriorating. When he was substituted in the latter half of the day, he could not control his emotions as he kicked a bottle of water off the bench without shaking hands with Kim. After the game, he apologized to his teammates in the locker room, but it is in line with Seoul's performance, which has not been going well. In addition, questions are raised over how Jung Seung-won, who achieved career-high (11 goals and 6 assists) while playing as a winger with Suwon FC last season, will utilize the team. Manager Kim is using Jung as his third-term agent. However, he has failed to maximize his strengths. In the match against Suwon FC, Jung also had difficulty in opponent team's offensives. 메이저놀이터
Seoul defenders' struggles are highlighted by their lackluster offensive capabilities. Center back duo Kim Joo-sung and Yazan recorded nine clearances and 15 ball wins, respectively, in the match against Suwon FC. It was a fortunate day for Seoul that they did not lose points and gained at least one point due to the defense's performance.
