Suwon Samsung defeated the South Jeolla Dragons 2-1 in the 27th round of Hana Bank K League 2 2024 held at Mir Stadium in Yongin on Sunday. Suwon, which has been undefeated in 11 matches (five wins and six draws), ranks third in the league with 40 points.
Manager Byun Sung-hwan’s intention hit the mark. Every new player he hired to improve his constitution after taking office in Suwon hit the jackpot. Mylat, a foreign player recruited in July, scored an impressive first goal in the fourth minute of the first half.
“I don’t have any inspiration. I lost to my standard. I only remember games that I couldn’t win,” Byun said after his unbeaten 10 games. He could not say that without great preparation and confidence.
It was also coach Byun Sung-hwan’s philosophy that Suwon did not back down after suffering an equalizer to Hanam in the 19th minute of the second half. When the score was tied 1-1, the team sought the finishing goal with an aggressive substitution card.
In the end, a change in tactics hit the mark. Coach Byun Sung-hwan put in Bae Seo-joon and Kim Sang-joon without Milat and Mulich at the 16th minute of the second half. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Bae Seo-joon showed confidence to check the movement of the goalkeeper following the breakthrough at the center. Bae Seo-joon precisely gave it to Kim Ji-ho. Kim Ji-ho lightly pushed the ball to score the final goal. Kim Ji-ho enjoyed the meal that Bae Seo-joon prepared.
Coach Byun Sung-hwan said, “Milat had a hard time in Korea due to the weather. I didn’t train well for the first week. I trained for a week and showed amazing performance.” In the end, Milat displayed great potential and rewarded with a goal.
The winning goals scored by 21-year-old Bae Seo-joon and Kim Ji-ho are also impressive. Manager Byun Sung-hwan is changing the course of the game by properly using the U22 card.
Coach Byun Sung-hwan said of Kim Ji-ho, “I made a love call because I needed a characteristic player to play soccer that I wanted. I will work with him despite unfavorable conditions.” He added, “We know very well what each other wants. We provided opportunities and played many decisive roles, so I am very satisfied.” 스포츠토토
