FC Anyang's Andrigo looks ahead to Seongnam FC clash

FC Anyang's Andrigo believes that if the Violets play their own game and try to play football, they can beat Seongnam FC. The Brazilian star also believes that the win over the Magpies from earlier in the campaign will give the team confidence.

FC Anyang are in good form heading into Round 15 of the 2023 Hana 1Q K League 2 campaign. Seven wins is the same as league leaders Gimpo FC and fellow promotion favourites Gimcheon Sangmu. 

The Violets are just one win away from reaching the K League 2 summit, in fact, as Gimpo don't play until Monday. Standing between Anyang and first place is Seongnam FC, a side that sits seventh in the table but just four points behind Anyang.

Lee Ki-hyeong's Seongnam have so far this term managed five wins, five draws and just three losses - just one at home. So, what can FC Anyang expect?

"They have good players, not just foreign but Korean players," says Andrigo when asked about the trip to Tancheon: 

"We need to play the same way like we play our last game here. When we have the ball try to play and kick [long] just when a team presses us. Like, if someone presses okay this moment, we can kick.

"But, usually, we need to try to play and when we don't have the ball, we need to have concentration because we took one or two goals here in Anyang because we didn't have concentration until the end of the game."

The Violets overcame the Magpies the last time they met and Andrigo believes this will give him and his teammates confidence when they cross the white line on Saturday night.

"Yeah, it gives confidence to us of course, because we won the game but we know every game we have different history and we need to create now our new history there. We can do this well if we play it 100%."

FC Anyang bowed out of the FA Cup to Busan IPark in the second round and so had the night off on Wednesday when the Round of 16 ties were played. Seongnam, on the otherhand, were at home to Pohang Steelers, losing 3-0 despite fielding a strong team. The extra days rest, though, don't necessarily mean that Anyang will have an advantage come Saturday afternoon, says Andrigo:

"It's hard to say because maybe we lose one game against one club that play FA Cup and then play against us. Because this, like I say, every game have another history. The most important is what are you are doing on the pitch. Sometimes you don't have power, but I don't know, you take this power [from] someplace and you try to do something.

"We need to train our recovery, our condition and watch the videos, what the coach will say to us and try to do what they say."

The full interview can be heard on next week's K League United Podcast and watched on KLU Patreon NOW.
