AI summary

Moreno outlined his tactical choice at a press conference in Cheonan, explaining that the 4-4-2 formation was selected following analysis of K League patterns. The twin striker role forms the system's cornerstone, with three specialist strikers—Oh Hyun-gyu, Cho Gyu-sung and Oh Se-hun—competing against Son Heung-min, Lee Dong-gyeong, Lee Kang-in, Hwang Hee-chan and Song Min-gyu. Moreno's philosophy is expected to emerge through his deployment of the two-striker setup, with his starting combination for the 24th debut fixture drawing particular attention.
