The power that leads Suwon Samsung lies in “young blood.”
Suwon came from behind to win 2-1 in the 22nd round of Hana Bank K League 2 2024 against Cheonan City FC at Cheonan Stadium on the 13th. Paulino allowed the first goal in the second minute of extra time in the first half, but Lee Kyu-dong scored the equalizer in the 32nd minute of the second half and Kim Sang-joon scored the reverse goal in the 1st minute of extra time.
Suwon has been undefeated with two wins and four draws since manager Byun Sung-hwan took office. It is regrettable that there are many draws, but it is encouraging that it is improving to some extent in terms of the content of the game.
Above all, young and young players stand out. Lee Gyu-dong, who was on loan from Jeonbuk Hyundai, showed strong performance in the match. At the 32nd minute of the second half, Lee scored an equalizer with a shot that lightly turned a ground ball pass that Park Seung-soo pushed from the left side of the penalty box. In the extra time, he tactfully pushed the pass to Kim Sang-joon in the arc circle, and even recorded an assist.
Lee Gyu-dong, born in 2004, is “Yeonggeon” who came on loan from Jeonbuk. Since his debut as a pro player in the first half of this year, he had high expectations from an early age, and played six games, but had no place in the team, so he came on loan to Suwon. He scored one goal and one assist in his debut match, spearheading Suwon’s victory. He is expected to greatly contribute to Suwon’s bid for promotion in the second half of the year. As he is a multi-player who can play striker, winger, and even midfielder, Lee Gyu-dong is highly valuable.
In Suwon recently, young players are effectively supporting their teams. Park Seung-soo, who gave assist to an equalizer, is a high school student born in 2007. He is playing the role of Suwon’s ace by banking on his outstanding skills. When looking at the team’s assist process in the match against Cheonan, he displayed impressive speed, rapid breakthrough and delicate finishing pass. 메이저놀이터
Kim Sang-joon, who scored the finishing goal, is also a young player born in 2001. Kim was born in 2004 as a starting player. Players who do not have much experience but are armed with spirit and confidence are spearheading Suwon’s rise.
Byun, a former coach of the national soccer team under the age of 17, boldly utilizes young and young players to lead the team. The result is pretty good, too. There is still a long way to go to achieve the ultimate goal of promotion, but Byun’s mercenary skills are definitely changing the atmosphere in Suwon.
