Hwang finished the final round undefeated. Daejeon Hana Citizen’s choice was right in the end.
Daejeon defeated Jeju United 2-1 in the 38th round (Final B 5th round) of “Hana Bank K League 1 2024” held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Daejeon ranked eighth and Jeju finished the season in seventh place. A total of 12,743 people attended the Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the day.
Daejeon finished the final round undefeated as it secured the match against Jeju Island. In this season, Daejeon lost in all three league games with Jeju Island, and lost in the penalty shootout at the Korea Cup, which was completely inferior. Nevertheless, the team won 2-1 over Jeju Island, recording four wins and one mura in the final round, and ending the season by ranking eighth beyond Gwangju FC.
Hwang has exceeded his goal of the final round. At a press conference before the match against Jeonbuk Hyundai, which was the first game of the Final B, Hwang set his goal of the final round with three wins and two draws. Having displayed good performance, Hwang scored a mood during the mini-alarm training session, which dampened the mood after losing to Jeju just before the final round.
He beat Daegu FC 1-0 and drew with Gwangju FC 0-0 and defeated Incheon United 2-1, confirming his stay. In recent years, he was inferior to all four teams, but he turned the tables and gained points. Even after confirming his stay, he went all out to make a perfect finish in front of his home fans and beat Jeju 2-1.
When Hwang Sun-hong was appointed, Daejeon survived when teams that were competing for the relegation zone were demoted or exposed to the risk of being demoted, and reached the 8th place, achieving a truly successful finish. There were many negative opinions on Hwang’s return to the team when he took the helm, but consequently, Daejeon’s decision was a huge success. Hwang Sun-hong, who has experience to grab and elevate all teams, led the team to stay. 메이저놀이터
Hwang once stressed that the team should not simply remain satisfied. “The time for Daejeon has not come yet,” he said, adding that we should use this season as the starting point for a real leap forward. Hwang’s revival also signals the beginning of the golden age of Daejeon. With the perfect finishing touch, Daejeon will begin to take a break for next season.
