Daegu FC needs to spend their break well.
Daegu was placed on the Maginot Line of Final A (1st to 6th) at 6th place (41 points) with 4 games remaining until the K League 1 final round. They defeated Jeju United (1-0 win) and Gangwon FC (1-0 win) in succession and are on a two-game winning streak.
Although it is ranked 6th, the ranking can fluctuate at any time. The point gap between 4th place FC Seoul and 5th place Jeonbuk Hyundai (43 points) is 1 point between 2nd and 7th place Incheon United (40 points). The remaining four games became more important, but bad news struck.
Sejingya, the core ‘captain’ of the ‘King of Daegu’ attack, left the team due to a rib fracture. In the last game against Gangwon, he suffered an injury where his heel was pressed to his side while competing with Kang Tu-ji at the end of the first half. He tried to endure the game, but ended up being carried out on a stretcher due to pain so severe that he could not breathe. And he was diagnosed with fractured ribs number 7 or 8.
Following his hospital stay, he is currently wearing a brace and focusing on his recovery at home. Because he fractured not one but two of his ribs, it is impossible to say exactly when he will recover. It is expected to take about 4 weeks at the earliest, but due to the nature of soccer, it is necessary to wait until the bones are completely healed.
Power loss is inevitable. Sejinha is the team’s highest scorer. With 8 goals, he ranks 6th in K League 1 scoring. The injury was even more painful because he scored the winning goal after receiving Hong Cheol’s pass in the 13th minute of the first half before getting injured. This is why Daegu couldn’t just smile despite the team’s two consecutive wins and a rise in the rankings.
Goalkeeper Oh Seung-hoon also underwent surgery. I ended up on the operating table after the Gangwon match because I had a lump on the back of my neck. It wasn’t a major surgery, but he will need about a week of recovery time. The good news is that we gained time during the international break.
However, there is a high possibility that Sejinha will not return from the 4th game before the final round. However, Daegu without Sejingya is not all that awkward. Daegu has the experience of playing a game ‘without Sejingya’ this season. Sejinha was out for nearly a month due to a hamstring injury in March and April at the beginning of the season.
Compared to back then, Vaselus is showing a more threatening appearance. Beltola, who was brought in during the summer transfer window, is also melting into the team. Other Brazilian foreign strikers are needed to fill Sejinha’s void.카지노사이트
After the international break, Daegu meets Suwon Samsung (17th), Pohang Steelers (24th), Jeonbuk Hyundai (30th), and Suwon FC (8th October). Since the two-game winning streak is the longest this season, there is a strong will to win three games in a row. This is why this break is important for Daegu, as it fills the gap between Final A and Sejingya.
