Suwon FC took one valuable point away from Pohang.
Suwon FC drew 1-1 against the Pohang Steelers in the 34th round of the K League 1 of the 2024 season at Pohang Steelyard on Oct. 18.
Suwon FC allowed Pohang captain Wandelson to score the first goal in the 32nd minute of the first half, but Kim Joo-yeop’s equalizer four minutes later. Suwon FC did not score an upset goal but succeeded in securing points in the first match of Final A without losing a point.
This is the story of coach Kim Eun-joong after the game.
Q. Finished the first edition of Final A with a 1-1 draw.
There were fans who came from Suwon to Pohang even though it was a weekday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was the first return match in two weeks with Pohang. The players showed well what they prepared at the training ground. They played with all their might. They will face FC Seoul at home on October 26. They have never won a match against Seoul this season. I will bring three points against Seoul at home.
Q: After dedicating the first goal to Wandelson, he quickly caught up with him. What do you think Kim’s equalizer influenced this game.
If you donate the first goal from Stillyard, it is very difficult. I think the fact that the team quickly overhauled and scored the equalizer after the loss was a big factor that brought the points. We had good chances to score afterwards, but we did not save it. However, our players did their best. I would like to express my gratitude to the players.
Q. Never lost against Pohang this season.
I think it’s because the players did what they prepared at the training ground. Isn’t the Steel Yard a soccer stadium? Our players often perform better at soccer stadiums. It is always difficult to play at the Steel Yard, but they seem to continue their good performance by showing higher concentration. We will continue our unbeaten performance against Pohang next year.
Q. Andersson played a key role in the attack again today.
Andersson plays more than 100 percent in every game. I’m always grateful. Andersson must feel lonely, too. As you all know, the only foreign striker in our team is Andersson. Korean players try to help, but there are parts that are not perfect. I am grateful to Andersson for his dedication to the team with all his strength in every game.
Q. Lee Hyun-yong sent a replacement signature. 메이저놀이터
There was a physical difficulty. I think I had cramps in my leg. There was no big problem because Jackson was preparing to replace.
Q. According to today’s results, I said I would set a goal in Final A.
As I said before, the match against Seoul at home is really important. I think the success or failure of this season will depend on the results of the match against Seoul. I believe that if the players do what they have done so far, good results will follow. At home, I will make sure to take three points and keep going up.
