"I think I'm shaking hands because I have so many thoughts."

Gangwon beat Gwangju FC 1-0 in the eighth round match of "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon on Wednesday. Choi kept his first goal at the 16th minute of the first half to become the winner.

With 10 points, Gangwon ended its three-game losing streak and laid foundation for its mid-tier leap forward. As the team is only four points shorter than runner-up Gimcheon Sangmu (14 points), it is expected to see an upward trajectory if it wins consecutively.

Gangwon, which won the runner-up prize last year, faced a change as its head coach Chung Kyung-ho took the helm. Renowned in the soccer field as a competent coach, he debuted as a coach who led the entire team. He started the game with high expectations, but it was not an easy start. His scoring ability was so serious that he failed to score a single goal during the recent three consecutive losses.

Before the match, coach Chung said, "I think it was poisonous because I had too many thoughts. When I was the head coach, I pushed ahead with my thoughts simply, but now that I have too many thoughts, I think I'm shaking hands. I'm going to think simply."

A glimpse of Chung's thoughts came out in the 42nd minute of the second half. Kovacevic was deployed without Gabriel, a striker who was substituted in the 24th minute of the second half. It was judged that there was a problem with Gabriel's position selection and participation in defense.

Gabriel expressed discontent. He immediately tried to head to the dressing room after being replaced. Chung approached and hugged him, barely putting him on the bench. The decision would make players angry.

I think we should only judge. I will do it as I did when I was the head coach. I will be bold and deal with it in my own way from now on," Gabriel said, adding that although he is working hard, he must display the performance he wants. No player is greater than a team. Only when all members know, can they improve. I will have a meeting with Gabriel.

He used Kovacevic, who replaced Gabriel, to block Asani, the ace in Gwangju, from the left side. Kovacevic also blocked the ball in the scene where Gwangju attempted the last attack. Gabriel who was angry also showed a smile after the match as he took a photo to commemorate his victory.

Chung, who is undergoing some sort of growing pains as the head coach, 먹튀검증 is committed to returning to his initial commitment and leading the team. He also obtained three points through microscopic analysis of Gwangju on the day. In the first half, he created an opportunity by quickly changing to offense after under strong pressure, and in the second half, he switched to three-back to block opponent teams' attacks. With the victory over Gwangju by the respected coach Lee Jung-hyo, Chung also provided an opportunity to grow one step further.
