“We should not be afraid because of the value of Jeonbuk’s name. We acknowledge that Jeonbuk is a good team, but I think we should continue the way we played for one season. We should respect the opponent rather than fear him and have confidence that we can do well on our own.” Osmar of Seoul E-Land, who is set to play against Jeonbuk, advised that respect is needed but there is no need to be afraid.
Seoul E-Land FC drew 2-2 against the Jeonnam Dragons in the “Hana Bank K League 2 2024 Playoff (PO)” held at Mokdong Sports Complex at 4:30 p.m. on the 24th, making it to the K-League promotion PO, Seoul E-Land will play two consecutive games against Jeonbuk Hyundai, ranked 10th in the K-League.
In the match, Seoul E-Land exchanged between heaven and hell. In the second half, Seoul E-Land, which allowed South Jeolla Province’s Plaka and Yoon Jae-seok to lose points, was dragged to 0-2. Since then, substitutes Kim Shin-jin and Baek Ji-woong have played to bring the game to square one, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw, dramatically reporting a “progress to PO.”
On this day, Osmar started as a left stopper in the back three of Seoul E-Land. Osmar, a “veteran” who played full-time, played well in defense and midfield and helped his team advance to the first promotion PO. In particular, he played as a midfielder after losing the first point in the second half and opened the door for his team’s offense.
After the game, Osmar said, “I’m glad we got the result we wanted. I felt good and bad in a really short period of time. It was a game where emotions were bound to fluctuate. I think it was a game that fans really enjoyed.”
In the second half, Seoul E-Land lost to South Jeolla Province and lost points, leading the team to 0-2. Seoul E-Land had strong disappointment. In the final match of round 39, the previous match, Seoul E-Land suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat against South Jeolla at home.
On how he felt at the time, Osmar said, “Unexpectedly, the previous game was against South Jeolla Province. I vaguely remembered the last loss, but fortunately, the replacement players such as Baek Ji-woong, Byun Kyung-joon, and Bruno played hard, so I was able to change the atmosphere.”
Now, Seoul E-Land has only the last two games to play. The opponent team is Jeonbuk. It is Seoul E-Land, which will bring Jeonbuk home on December 1 (Sun). “They have higher name values and higher annual salary than us. However, the pressure will be greater for Jeonbuk,” Osmar said ahead of the match. “We have no reason to lose during today’s match.”
“I want to tell young players to enjoy it first. As we have nothing more to lose, we need to relax and calm down. And I hope young players give out more energy and positive energy to the team,” he said, adding that he did not forget to give advice to younger players. 토토사이트
