Lee Min-seong Daejeon Hana Citizen coach (50) is in deep trouble. A super emergency took place in Daejeon, which succeeded in a soft landing in the K-League 1 (Part 1). This is because of the departure of midfielder Joo Se-jong (33), who is the captain and the core of his power. Joo Se-jong was diagnosed with a fracture in the left orbit and went to the operating table on the 7th. Joo Se-jong collapsed at the end of the second half of the K-League 1 away match against Incheon United on the 4th. In the course of the header contest, Incheon defender Kim Dong-min, who acted unreasonably, hit his face hard on the head.
The orbital fracture is the part where Son Heung-min was injured ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Joo Se-jong plans to start basic exercise from 3 weeks after spending about 2 weeks of absolute stability. There is also the case of Son Heung-min, who played the game in 19 days, but at the time it was a special case of the World Cup. Considering that there is still a lot left until the end of this season, and that Ju Se-jong is of a considerable age, it is not expected that there will be an unreasonable return. Director Lee, too, will not be impatient until he fully recovers.
Daejeon is a big shock. Ju Se-jong is the nucleus of Daejeon power that needs no explanation. The impact on and off the pitch is significant. Joo Se-jong is a playmaker who keeps the center on the ground and solves the game. As a captain, he even plays the role of a mental support. From promotion last season to cruising at the beginning of this season, Joo Se-jong’s contribution was absolute. Daejeon has recorded 1 win and 1 draw in the first two games with organized midfield play centered on Joo Se-jong. It’s a big concern as much as such a main sejong is missing. 메이저사이트
The problem is from the 3rd round against the Pohang Steelers at home on the 11th. First of all, the replacement candidates are defensive midfielders Kim Young-wook, Lim Deok-geun, and Lim Eun-soo. They are decent players in terms of activity and defense, but they are coldly weak to take over the role of Ju Se-jong. In particular, there is a big difference in passing power. Coach Lee plans to take Lee Jin-hyun, who played as an attacking midfielder in the match against Incheon, down a notch, as Lee Hyun-shik is returning from injury. If necessary, he is even thinking of making a big change from the existing 3-4-1-2 tactic. Coach Lee said, “It’s definitely unfortunate that Ju Se-jong left. There are a lot of worries. If there are no teeth, you have to fight with your gums. As the players’ will is strong, we will find a quick solution.”
