FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong: 'No talk of championship yet' after ending winless streak

FC Seoul secured a crucial 4-2 victory over Daejeon Hana Citizen at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, snapping a four-game winless streak in the K League 1. The win brings a much-needed boost to the team's morale after a challenging period.

Head coach Kim Ki-dong, while pleased with the result, cautioned against premature celebrations or discussions about the championship. "I don't want to talk about the championship yet," Kim stated after the match. He emphasized the team's need to maintain focus and continue their winning momentum.

The coach acknowledged the team's previous struggles with atmosphere and the pressure to perform. "The atmosphere was down. It was a game we had to win," Kim said, highlighting the significance of this particular victory in turning the tide.

Kim's message to his players is clear: the focus must remain on the immediate task of winning each game. The team needs to build on this success and demonstrate resilience as they navigate the remainder of the season, rather than getting ahead of themselves with championship aspirations.
