FC Seoul is at a different starting point than last season.

Seoul laid the groundwork for the revival of its prestigious family after appointing Kim Ki-dong last season. It had difficulties in the beginning of the season, but it gained momentum as Kim's soccer took its place from the middle of the season.
Although he failed to join the championship competition, he entered Final A for the first time in five years and ranked fourth, gaining an advantage in qualifying for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) next season. 토토사이트

Kim Ki-dong is aiming to become president in his second year. Starting with Kim Jin-soo, Seoul has led the transfer market by recruiting Moon Seon-min, Jung Seung-won and Lee Han-do.

This is to make up for his weaknesses. Kim Jin-su replaced Kang Sang-woo, who left for Ulsan HD, as the left-side defense, while Moon added speed to his side's roster. With the recruitment of Jung Seung-won, he has strengthened his third term, which he had agonized over all last season, and Lee Han-do replaces Kwon Wan-kyu, who left for Suwon Samsung as an FA.

The reason why the quick reinforcement of players is welcome is because of the first training camp. Seoul left for Hanoi, Vietnam, on the 5th, the site of the first training camp, and will return home on the 24th.

Kim has been emphasizing the importance of the first training camp since his days with the Pohang Steelers. In order to achieve the speedy transition of offense and defense, Kim needs to increase his physical stamina even before the season." For this reason, Kim is famous for his high intensity that even players can hardly believe his words during the first training camp.

However, last season, Seoul's main players failed to conduct training with head coach Kim.

Kim Joo-sung and Kang Sung-jin were out of Seoul as candidates for the national and Olympic teams, while Ki Sung-yueng, who signed a contract, and Lingard, who was belatedly recruited, joined the second round of Japanese training. Lucas, Yazan, and Kang Hyun-moo wore the Seoul uniform through the summer transfer window.

Kim expressed regret over the situation in which many players were absent from the training camp from the first season. As Kim performed only about 70 percent of the performance he wanted, he showed no performance at all at the beginning of the season. When Kim lost the championship title after the upturn stopped, he said, "This is why we need to strengthen our training during the training camp."

This season is different. Key players including Lingard, Ki Sung-yueng, Lucas, Yazan and Kim Ju-seong will all join the team and accompany them from the first round. The same will be said of the four players who were newly recruited.

Excluding recruitment of foreign strikers and the actions of some foreign players, the team is preparing for the season as a whole. As such, intense training will be conducted compared to the previous season, and expectations are growing for its completeness.

Coach Kim also clearly stated his goal through Media Day on the 3rd, saying, "We need to play soccer with better quality and impress fans than last year." Seoul's challenge to win the championship begins with the first off-season training, which is different from last year.
