In the beginning, he scored a goal. Even after the first goal, he created an opportunity, but it&#8217;s a pity that he couldn&#8217;t score an additional goal. Still, I want to praise him for scoring a scoreless victory. It seems that the high ground is coming into my eyes little by little. I want to say to the players, &#8220;Let&#8217;s cheer up a little more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/news-p.v1.20260825.ec58d6d0a9e64733ade4a4181b37d184_P1.jpg\" orgwidth=\"660\" orgheight=\"440\" alt=\"Coach Kim Ki-dong of FC Seoul.

It is 15 points ahead of Jeonbuk Hyundai, which rose to second place by adding one point on the same day.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">Director Kim said, &#8220;I think September will be really important. If we continue the current trend in September, I think we will be one step closer to winning the championship. It is true that it is prudent to mention the championship right away. Unintended variables can occur. We will always focus on what we have to do with humility,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">Coach Kim also expressed relief after the victory.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/news-p.v1.20260825.2d9107f2305d40d9bcf824265543c5a9_P1.jpeg\" orgwidth=\"660\" orgheight=\"440\" alt=\"Klimala.

That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so happy about today&#8217;s victory.
