On July 26th at 6:30 PM, Gangwon FC will host Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 25th round of the K1 League.
This match will see two to three times more reporters than usual at the stadium, their lenses focused on the two key figures of this game: Yang Min-geuk and Lee Seung-woo. Eighteen-year-old Yang Min-geuk, dubbed “Gangwon’s Yamal,” has been named by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, with a “here we go” tweet igniting Korean football. It is highly likely that Yang Min-geuk will join Tottenham in January 2025. Lee Seung-woo, who has delivered top-level performances and generated significant hype in the K League for two consecutive seasons, has just joined Jeonbuk Hyundai. This is one of the most watched transfer deals in the K League this summer window.
Home team Gangwon FC secured a resounding victory in the last round, currently only 3 points away from the top of the table. They have won 5 out of their last 6 home games. This home ground is known for being difficult to break down, and Jeonbuk Hyundai has suffered defeats here before.
In terms of personnel, midfielders Kim Yi-seok and Kim Dae-u are still undergoing rehabilitation, while striker Gabriel is also recovering and will definitely be unavailable for today’s match. The good news is that Kim Dong-hyun has returned from military service, new Australian signing Henry has integrated well into the team, and new striker forward Kovačević has shown promising off-ball movement and finishing ability. Another new signing, Hadžić, is also ready to play.
Jeonbuk Hyundai won the “Hyundai Family Derby” in the last round, with the entire team morale high. They have made significant signings recently, and their on-paper strength has noticeably increased. Andreigo, who joined on loan from Chengdu Rongcheng, contributed a goal and an assist in the last game and quickly adapted to his role.
In terms of personnel, versatile defender Park Jin-seob is suspended, impacting the backline’s solidity. Youngster Jeon Byeong-gwan is also suspended and will definitely miss the match. Song Min-gyu is nursing a muscle injury and has been linked with a move to a foreign club recently, making his appearance in this game very unlikely.
