While the professional football K League 1, which took a break for two weeks due to the national team’s A match, resumed play on the weekend, Suwon Samsung (1 draw, 3 losses, 12th place) and Gangwon FC (2 draws, 2 losses, 1 draw) and Gangwon FC (2 draws, 2 losses, 12th place) in the 5th round were’draw’ in the 5th round. 11) is emerging as a ‘big match’. It is because Gangwon coach Choi Yong-soo and Suwon coach Lee Byung-geun are expected to fight their brains for the first win.
Suwon and Gangwon meet on the 2nd at 4:30 pm at the Suwon World Cup Stadium for a ‘first win’. Suwon, which urgently needs to ‘escape from the bottom’ of the league, was anxious from the start. In the opening game (0-1 loss), Gwangju FC, which was promoted from the 2nd division, suffered a blow. They were ahead of Gwangju in ball possession rate (52%), effective shots (8), and corner kicks (3), but they lacked a decisive shot. In the match against Daejeon Hana Citizen on the 19th (1-3 loss), the offensive power was not active. Suwon, which confronts with the ‘4-3-3’ or ‘4-2-3-1’ tactic, is struggling with ‘goal catchers’ Park Hee-jun and Ahn Byung-jun silent. It is regrettable that Oh Hyeon-kyu (Celtic), who scored 13 league goals last season, could not leave.
It is similar to Suwon in Gangwon-do. In the opening game, he also put the first button wrong while losing to the opponent (2-0 loss) against the ‘promoted team’. On the 5th, they lost the match against Ulsan Hyundai (0-1 loss) and failed to break the ‘Ulsan Jinx’ that has been going on for 11 years. Recalling the upward trend of 4th place with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss over 4 rounds last season, it is regrettable that they barely escaped the last place (11th place).
The battle for the top rank is also fierce. The match between Daejeon and Seoul, which will be held at the World Cup Stadium in Daejeon at 7:00 p.m. on the 1st, is expected to be a battle for second place. Daejeon, which is ‘undefeated’, is in the 3rd place (8 points) with 2 wins and 2 draws. Daejeon, which boasts the hottest attacking power by recording the most goals (8 goals) along with Ulsan, has various scoring routes such as Kim In-gyun and Thiago (2 goals) and Leandro Byun Jun-su (1 goal).
Seoul (3 wins, 1 loss, 9 points) is also maintaining its 2nd place, scoring 7 goals so far. Hwang Ui-jo’s goal hasn’t been scored yet,메이저놀이터 but it means that there is nothing wrong with the offense. However, the key is how coach Ahn Ik-soo will solve the goalkeeper’s conceded goal.
Last season’s runner-up, Jeonbuk (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, 4 points), is unexpected. In the opening game, they were hit by rival Ulsan (2-1 loss) and then were completely defeated by Daegu (0-2 loss). It is time for Cho Kyu-seong, who has returned from the national team, to revive his scoring ability. This is why the match against Pohang Steelers, which will be held at home at 2 pm on the 1st, is attracting attention.
