Last season was among the best the team has had in about a decade. An FA Cup win in their home stadium, a 2nd placed finish and a superb group stage in the Asian Champions League. Under the leadership of Kim Gi-dong their head coach. All change that's ripped out the best players Zeca, Young-jun Goh and Grant. Manager Kim has also left. Replacements on the pitch seem a lower calibre than the previous ones and the new head coach Park Tae-ha hasn't managed much in recent years or in the league. The club are accustomed to changes as a selling club, but the mass changes this time are hard to recover from. They've already been knocked out of the ACL in the L16 and tactically have been asked to change a lot as well. Their midfield depth and personnel are amongst the best in the league and new signing Jorge looks a good replacement for Zeca, although time will tell. Their home form is usually strong and they are a well established club that work well within their means. The huge amount of change implemented and on top of that a number of key squad players are yet to return from injury, including Oberdan, Jong-woo Kim, Jae-hee Jeong, Sung-dong Baek.

Target


They are a team that always look to finish in the took half but I think avoiding relegation will be a successful season for them
