The second semi-final match of the G League will be unveiled on SBS's 'Kick a Goal'.
In the upcoming episode of 'Kick a Goal', airing on the 30th, the last spot for the finals will be fiercely contested between 'FC National Team Family' and 'FC Nine Cheok Giants'. With 'National Team Family' having swept their group matches and 'Nine Cheok Giants' advancing with tactical soccer, the clash between these two powerhouses is too close to call, drawing significant attention.
Particularly, 'Nine Cheok Giants', who have yet to win a championship, are stirring excitement about whether they can break through to the finals and clinch their first victory. The question of whether the surging 'Nine Cheok Giants' can continue their winning streak and advance has piqued curiosity.
For a surefire win in the semi-finals, 'Nine Cheok Giants' coach Lee Young-pyo has unveiled a unique strategy. He tasked his players with analyzing and presenting on 'National Team Family's tactics and characteristics. Commentator Park Joo-ho mentioned, "This is a method also used by Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel," drawing attention by referencing European soccer examples. The special assignment by coach Lee Young-pyo, aimed at enhancing players' understanding and focus on the game, is garnering interest for its potential impact on the actual match.
The performance of 'Nine Cheok Giants'' key player and 'Ace Killer', Lee Hyun-yi, is also worth noting.
