Lini pertahanan Cheonan sejauh ini menjadi yang terbaik kedua di liga karena baru kebobolan 10 gol dari 11 laga.

Sebelum pertandingan dimulai, Park Jin-seop memberikan arahan khusus kepada para pemainnya untuk mengantisipasi atmosfer stadion lawan yang dipadati banyak penonton.

"Suwon Samsung is a strong team aiming for the championship. We will face them with our organizational strength," ujar Park Jin-seop.

Park Jin-seop juga meminta skuadnya tetap tenang menghadapi tekanan mental dalam pertandingan besar ini.

"Although it is an away game, I hope the players do not get nervous but instead enjoy the atmosphere of Suwon World Cup Stadium, which attracts many spectators," kata Park Jin-seop.

Ia menambahkan instruksi agar komunikasi antarpemain di dalam lapangan terjalin dengan baik.

"These players do not have much experience in such big games.

I instructed them to remain calm inside the stadium, communicate more with each other, and work through the game," tutur Park Jin-seop.

Strategi penempatan pemain muda di lini tengah juga menjadi fokus perhatian sang manajer.

"We placed Heo Dong-min next to the technically superior Ramas," ucap Park Jin-seop.

Penempatan tersebut diharapkan mampu menjaga aliran bola sekaligus memberikan determinasi tinggi di lini tengah.

"I expect these two players to play a good connecting role in the midfield, such as passing.

Since Heo Dong-min is still young, I expect him to run energetically and inject fighting spirit, serving as a vital force for the team," sebut Park Jin-seop.

Menghadapi kekuatan Suwon, Park Jin-seop mengakui kualitas tim lawan yang mengincar gelar juara.
