Suwon Yeom Gi-hoon Coach Promises Promotion
‘K League 2’ Suwon Yeom Gi-hoon Coach Promises Promotion and ‘Football that Hits First’
“Promotion is the only way to wipe away fans’ tears” ahead of the start of the 2024 season.
Coach Yeom Gi-hoon of Suwon Samsung, which is competing in professional soccer K-League 2 for the first time in the club's history, promised to show 'football that hits first' with promotion.
Coach Yeom said at the ‘Hana Bank K-League 2024 Opening Media Day’ held at the Seoul Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 26th, “We were relegated last year, but the number of spectators increased. 카지노
“It was not the players who protected and supported Suwon, but the fans,” he said.
He also said, “Promotion is the only way to wipe away the fans’ tears and restore their pride.”
Coach Yeom met with reporters before the event and said, “The goal is direct.”
“We are not ignoring the second division, but we are preparing with the idea of promotion right away this year,” he emphasized.
Coach Yeom, who experienced demotion to the second division last year as an acting coach, has now taken on the responsibility of promotion to the first division as the official head coach.
Coach Yeom, who spent the off-season training the team as a coach rather than a player for the first time, was asked, "What kind of soccer will we show?" "I told the players, 'I don't want to be hit first,'" he said.
We will hit first and go in. “He answered.
Coach Yeom said, “The fans always asked why we threw away the first half,” and added, “I heard so many stories about why we started after scoring a goal.
“I and the players are also aware of this,” he said.
The team that Coach Yeom showed the most caution about as an opponent for promotion was Seoul E-Land FC.
E-Land appointed manager Kim Do-gyun, who led Suwon FC last year, and made 'extensive moves' in the winter transfer market, including recruiting veterans Go Moo-yeol and Osmar.
Coach Yeom said, "E-Land has recruited a lot of good players.
It's true that I'm worried," but drew the line by saying that the match against E-Land, which is based in Seoul, is not a 'super match'.
Super match is an expression referring to the match between FC Seoul and Suwon, which, like E-Land, are based in Seoul.
With Suwon falling to K-League 2, soccer fans will no longer have to watch super matches in the league until promotion.
Coach Yeom said, “I feel like any team can do well.
I plan to overcome it.”
At the same time, he predicted, "Not only E-Land but also Busan I-Park are always close to promotion.
Seongnam FC has also recruited a lot," and added, "I think those three teams will fight a lot against us."
The player that Coach Yeom, a former wing striker, wanted to perform the most was goalkeeper Yang Hyeong-mo, who also attended the media day.
Coach Yeom smiled and said, “I hope Yang Hyeong-mo doesn’t go crazy and score even a single goal.
I believe the captain’s role is more important than ever.
I think he will do a good job.”
Yang Hyung-mo, who received an impossible task from the head coach of 'no goals in all games', said with a firm expression, "I will do my best."
