A brief look at key players:
Taken at the start of the new month because the screenshot from the start wasn't there.
Our only goalkeeper. Challenge quality. I liked Guk better.
Our best midfielder, the one who knows how to defend and see what's around him. Has played as defensive central midfield, but I may ask him to take on the role of main player as a deep lying playmaker.
Our top goalscorer with just four goals. Has played both matches as right winger, but I think I'll use him as striker in one of the coming matches, when Kyung-Hyun recovers from his injury.
Busan's field is almost wider than it is long. The first big chance is ours, but hit just wide of the post. We concede the first goal, very unlucky, three defenders jumping for the ball and it's their attacker who gets the ball and then it arcs just beyond the keeper's fingertips. Then they hack our eighteen year old left inside forward, so we play the rest with ten men and a tactic turned to the offensive. We pay it when four legs together can't stop a ball going through. And then Young-Jun decides that if he can't assist our strikers, he'll pull his best assist for the opponents. Fourth when their striker hits the ball while having his torso occupy the same physical space as my defender. I don't drink! They hack Omotoyossi too.
Omotoyossi will be out for a month. When they had it won they kept hacking. Jae-Hong a week and half.
The upcoming match against Suwon Bluewings will be my 100th match!
The two best attacks of the first half are ours; but one they can't get the shot and in the other is a shot to the goalie's body. Stojanovic is missing the same way that the striker of previous matches. We get another through ball that should end in a goal send at the keeper and we get the goal finally after the ball has a small bounce off a defender's leg. We're winning! And we do at the end!
This win sees us out of automatic promotion. Incheon, the team that we have right ahead has won again. They've not lost a match since I took charge here. Annoying, one would think the team right above relegation play off would not be winning this many games. On the down side, Jae-Cheol is out for a month, one of the two starting central midfielders.

That win took out two managers in a single blow: the defeated Suwon and the now in direct relegation Jeju manager.
That is the first game in a week with four games. I don't know how it will end, I'm fearing injuries, maybe I'll have to choose the third, which is second placed Ulsan, to lose with the U18 squad to protect the best players. Actually, make that five matches in five days.
Oris has become South Korean citizen, just a few days too late for registration.
WHAT?! On top of this fixture congestion we have a player off in international duty. This is ridiculous! We lay Jeonman (4th) with a few tired playes, including Júnior Lopes. We get a chance to go ahead a few minutes after the half hour, but Myung-Han shot it at the keeper. But he gets it seven minutes later! With both central midfielders on a yellow, I sub and drop the advanced midfield back. 65:30 right fullback Ji-Hoon gets the second yellow. I had thought of subbing him, but Young-Jun also has one and wanted cover for an injury. Removing the striker and subbing Young-Jun too. 4-5-0. The goal finally comes and we're level with ten minutes to go. And Jeju are winning, so back to the bottom. Almost was saved. I tell them to pump ball up and shoot on sight, in case we get something, highly unlikely considering players can barely walk.
When I took charge, Gyeongnam had 10 points from 16 games. Since then I've picked six points from five games. That means we've gone from 0.625pts/g to 1.2pts/g. Jeju were 13 points from 20 games, 0.65pts/g, we'll see how they do with the new manager. Incheon, who have not sacked theirs, are 23 points after 21 games, 1.095pts/g. If things remain like this, we should be well safe from direct relegation.
So we receive Ulsan, currently top of the table, with two first teamers, nine under 18 in the starting XI and a first team and six under 17 in the bench. I'llhope just for a result that's not so bad I get sacked. Kang-Jin is in goal, though, and his performances show him being clearly better than Pyung-Guk. We get a shot after 22 minutes. Already better than expected. And a corner shortly after. We finally concede the first in the 39th minute. The second because Kang-Jin couldn't jump enough, then a corner after a stupid mistake he makes. As soon I said he was doing clearly better than expected, he makes a buffoon out of himself.
We visit Seongnam with some players still tired. The wrong offside calls are back, taking away one goal and one very good chance in the first half hout. Joon-Yeop picks a knock and that's the second of the three starting midfielders injured. The last chance by Myung-Hyun is the perfect example of how out forwards are working: through vertical ball, the goalkeeper goes for it at the end, he gets first and then proceeds to kick in the same direction it was going anyway.
Missing is we're two points behind Jeju, who have a game in hand, because they won their last.
Joon-Yeop is out for a month.
And Young-Jun got to the yellow card limits, so goodbye to the three starting central midfielders.
Injuries and tiredness dictate we use a 4-5-1 against Incheon, with the subs in centreback. Though it doesn't begin too good, because of lack of support for the attack, it's us who go ahead with a long shot. Good chance from a counter the next minute, wasted. In the first half they but our scorer's ribs, and also our fourth choice central midfielder. They get it back in the start of the second half, by a combined mistake of a centreback breaking the offside and the keeper coming out late. Then ahead in a very similar way, the fullback opposite to the ball always forgetting his man. With 15' to go they get one man sent off and I make the 4-2-4 I went to more offensive. We almost give the third same goal because the fullback is in position but as soon the cross approaches him he just stops and forgets about the match.
Ji-Woong will e out for almost two weeks, which means three matches without central midfield.
Next month eight games, for an average of two per week but with most in the firts half.
