Having played the black g6 put his pawns on white and I think a weakness, coupled with the worst king that leads to the possibility of defeat.

The first step is to take the white king the most in the enemy position. 32 ... Kc8 Retrieves a time, and reaches to hold kingside pawns, but not to prevent the invasion.
