Again, it was a ‘dopamine burst’ match.
Seoul E-Land, led by head coach Kim Do-kyun, succeeded in advancing to the playoffs by drawing 2-2 in the Hana Bank K League 2 2024 playoff against the Jeonnam Dragons at Mokdong Stadium in Seoul on the 24th.
Seoul E-Land, which finished the regular league in third place, will take advantage of its advantage of becoming a winner even if it wins a draw with fourth-place Jeonnam.
It is the first time since the foundation that Seoul E-Land will play in the promotion playoffs. Regardless of the success of promotion, it is a great achievement in the first year of head coach Kim’s appointment.
Leading Suwon FC’s promotion in 2020, Kim successfully stayed in the 2021-2023 season due to his aggressive soccer. Although he is nervous about his weak defense, he has created a team that can compete by playing soccer that puts weight on offense through bold winning moves. It is no different at Seoul E-Land this year. In 36 matches of the regular season, Seoul E-Land scored 64 points and 47 goals. Although he is the top scorer in the league, he also lost many goals. He ranked third through his unique structure of multiple goals and multiple goals.
In the match against South Jeolla Province, Seoul E-Land also turned the tables in its last-minute aggressive soccer. It was on the verge of losing by conceding two goals first, but it did not give up until the end to display the potential to tie the game by launching offensive. As usual, it is challenging itself to the top division with a content that “dopamine explodes.”
It is not over yet. Seoul E-Land is now seeking promotion to the top division. It aims to advance to the K-League 1 through two matches with Jeonbuk Hyundai, which ranks 10th in the K-League. 온라인바카라
In terms of capability, it is not easy. Jeonbuk is a favorite to win the K-League 1, which is equipped with a national squad. However, Kim has two experiences of surviving the playoffs. He enjoyed success both when he was promoted to the team in 2020 and when he remained in the promotion and promotion playoffs last year.
“We don’t know what will happen in soccer. We will do our best to play games that could cause unexpected situations,” Kim said. “Psychologically, the first division team has more pressure than the first division team. I experienced it last year. We also lost in the first round. Players and coaching staff will likely have more pressure on each other than us. Such factors affect our performance,” he said, vowing to fight without burden.
