K League 1

[골닷컴, 강릉] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = “Everyone must wake up and reflect.”

Incheon United coach Seong-hwan Cho expressed regret over the recent increase in the frequency of goals conceded from set pieces immediately after the 1-1 draw against Gangwon FC in the 31st round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 away game held at Gangneung Stadium at 4:30 pm on the 24th. He said this in his expression.

Incheon conceded the first goal to Lee Ji-sol 5 minutes after kickoff on this day, but 6 minutes later, Mugosa tied the game with an equalizer. After maintaining a tight balance, they created more opportunities by pulling the reins of attack to turn the game around in the second half, but ultimately failed to turn the game around.

With the draw on this day, Incheon went on an undefeated streak in two games (2 wins, 1 draw), and moved up one place to 6th place in the rankings (11 wins, 11 draws, 9 losses, 44 points), helping them advance to Final A. However, we cannot be at ease as we are being chased by Daegu FC (44 points), who kicks off late. Incheon will face Suwon Samsung (22 points) at home on the 30th.

Coach Cho said at the post-game press conference, “I think positively because the players did their best until the end despite the tight schedule. “It was a difficult situation physically, but I think we did better in terms of game management than I thought,” he said. “The disappointing part is that we had a lot of chances, but we couldn’t finish them off.” But this cannot be reversed. “I will prepare well for the remaining two games and repay the fans with good results,” he said.

Recently, Incheon has been conceding a lot of goals from set pieces. Coach Cho expressed his regret by saying, “It is important to prepare during training, but I think players need to overcome pressure and stress,” and added, “Everyone needs to wake up and reflect a lot in this area.”

[골닷컴, 인천] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = “I hope you will invite me next time.”

Anderlecht youth team (Belgium) coach Rene Peter shared his thoughts on participating in the K-League International Youth Cup Incheon 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the Youth Cup) and expressed his strong hope that the Korea Professional Football League would invite him next year as well. In particular, this was his first time visiting Korea, and he said he had a good impression and hoped that he would have the opportunity to participate again.

Peter Anderlecht youth team coach attended a press conference immediately after winning 1-0 in the Youth Cup final against Tokyo Verdy Youth Team (Japan) held at Incheon Soccer Stadium on the afternoon of the 9th and said, “If I am given the opportunity to participate again, of course I will come. “I want to,” he said.

Anderlecht is a prestigious club representing Belgium. They hold the record for the most Belgian Jupiler League wins (34 times) and also have a history of winning the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (2 times). Famous players currently playing in Europe’s top five leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France) have passed through it, and Gyeongnam FC coach Seol Ki-hyeon played for three years from 2001 during his active career, becoming widely known to domestic fans.

In particular, Anderlecht is widely evaluated as having a well-organized youth system, enough to be called a ‘cradle of prospects’. In fact, by nurturing Burnley FC (England) coach Vincent Kompany, as well as Leander Dendonker, Denis Praet, and Youri Tielemans, the Belgian national soccer team established a ‘golden generation’ and played a part in achieving good results in major tournaments.

Anderlecht once again boasted of its excellent youth system as it participated in the Youth Cup. In particular, they clearly showed a different level. His physical strength was no less than that of professional players, and he was also ahead in terms of technical skills. This is proven by the fact that they showed great momentum from the group stage and achieved an ‘undefeated victory’ to become the first champions.

Anderlecht expressed its desire to participate again next year when the Youth Cup is held. Coach Peter said, “It was really interesting and enjoyable to participate in the Youth Cup. “It was my first time participating in a competition since I came to Korea, and I feel like I had such a great experience,” he said. “If I were given the opportunity to participate again, of course I would like to come again.” “There were several players who were selected to the national team for each age group this year, and if I receive an invitation next time, I will bring all the ‘top class’ players from the youth team,” he said.

He added, “It seems like young players are able to have this great experience and learn a lot by competing against Korean teams. If I get the chance, I would like to participate again. “I hope they will invite me,” he said. “To be honest, I am tired as it is a difficult journey on a plane for more than 24 hours, but the organizers, including the Korea Professional Football League, ran the Youth Cup well and the level was high. Also, it was my first time in Korea, and I liked that he made a good impression and was friendly. “I want to come back again,” he said, expressing his positive intentions.

Coach Peter said in particular, “It is really important to gain experience at a young age, and this time in Korea, it was very meaningful to learn how other continents and countries play and what kind of performances they show. “The players gained great experience,” he said. “It was a time where the young players could learn a lot about life. “It is valuable to gain various experiences,” he said, emphasizing his desire to participate again, considering the importance of young players gaining diverse experiences through this Youth Cup.

Lastly, Coach Peter also gave advice to the Korea Professional Football League so that the Youth Cup can continue to be held successfully. He said, “The level of the Youth Cup was quite high, and he was also satisfied with his life during his stay in Korea. “I think the organizers organized and operated it quite well,” he said. “If I were to give just one piece of advice for improvement, I think it would have been better if the last group match had kicked off at the same time. This is how it is done in the group stage of major competitions such as the World Cup or Champions League. “It would be good to improve that area,” he said.

[골닷컴, 강릉] Reporter Kim Hyeong-joong = Suwon FC’s Lee Seung-woo contributed to the team’s victory by operating the scorer. He made it clear that he is currently a Suwon FC player despite the recent transfer rumors.

Suwon FC won 2-1 in an away game against Gangwon FC in the 27th round of the Hanawon Q K League 1 2023 held at Gangneung Sports Complex at 7:00 pm on the 19th. Gangwon’s Kang Tu-ji scored the first goal in the first half, but Lee Seung-woo’s equalizer early in the second half and Yoon Bit-garam’s come-from-behind goal just before the end of the second half gave them three precious points.

The victory on this day was a great harvest for Suwon FC. Recently, Suwon FC’s Jupo Lars broke away from the team due to drunk driving, and the atmosphere subsided significantly in the last round against Jeju United. However, he won a come-from-behind victory on a difficult away road and created an opportunity to boost his confidence.

Lee Seung-woo started and led the team’s attack. He was active both in the center and on the flanks. He sometimes even went on the defensive and helped his teammates. In the 3rd minute of the second half, he received a pass from Bautersson and scored a goal in the box. The pass came back slightly and the ball flowed backwards with an ambiguous touch, but the Gangwon defense hit and took another chance, eventually leading to a goal.

Lee Seung-woo, who attended the interview with the distinguished player after the game, had a bright expression. “I am happy to have won 3 important points in a difficult away game, and I will prepare well for next week’s game against Incheon,” he said.

We also talked about the scoring situation. It was not easy to handle the ball because the cross and rush timing did not fit perfectly. Although somewhat lucky, Lee Seung-woo succeeded in hunting the goal with concentration. He explained the situation, saying, “I tried to focus on the game as much as possible. I tried not to lose my concentration on the ball in a chance situation, but luckily I was able to come to me and put it well.”

In a situation where Lars is missing, there must be a burden of being responsible for the attack. However, Lee Seung-woo trusted his colleagues. He said, “There is no burden because Kim Hyun is also there. Like last year, he is doing well enough this year. Last season, he scored a lot of goals compared to the amount of time he played, and I think he is doing well after joining the team this season. I want to raise a lot of attack points in the game together.”

Still, director Kim Do-gyun has a front-line concern in his head. He actually said it in an interview. In this situation, Lee Seung-woo said about his role, “There is a role that can be played by entering the stadium. I and Kim Hyun have different styles. The usability is different, the physical difference, and the preferred play are different. There is also an advantage. When I went in together, I think we fit well because we are different players.”

Transfer rumors have recently surfaced. News has spread that an Italian Serie A club is showing interest. However, Lee Seung-woo was adamant. Lee Seung-woo, who said, “I’m doing my best for Suwon FC,” said, “That’s not my job, it’s the club’s job, and the club’s and agent’s job. Now, as a player of Suwon FC, I’ll do my best.” “, he drew a line.

Regarding whether there was any physical burden in the hot summer, he finished the interview by saying, “Last month it was so hot that it was difficult to breathe, but this Gangwon expedition was the coolest out of the months. Fortunately, I think it was less difficult, but the weather is a variable.”

Kang Tu-ji conceded a goal in the first half, but Lee Seung-woo and Yoon Bit-garam scored consecutive goals in the second half to take three points.

The two teams fought hard until extra time, and the game was split just before the end. When Suwon FC received a long pass from Lee Young-jae in a corner kick situation, Yun Bit-garam attempted a half-volley shot and shook the net. It was a dramatic comeback.

Head coach Kim Do-kyun, who attended the official press conference after the game, said, “It was a difficult game after conceding goals on a long away road, but the players did not give up, so we were able to turn around. There are many things to improve, but with today’s game, I will play the rest of the game with confidence.”

Yun Bitgaram took a break in the first half of the day and was replaced in the second half. He did not lose concentration until the end of the game and became the protagonist of the winning goal. Director Kim Do-gyun said, “I am always preparing for set pieces. It seems to have been done as intended.” “Yoon Bit-garam had enteritis two days ago. To consider his condition, he did not put in the first half,” he said.

Lee Young-jae, who helped the winning goal, wore the captain’s armband and played full-time. Regarding this, he said, “I joined the team with a gap of 1 year and 6 months, but the atmosphere and players at that time also changed. When I first came, it would not have been easy to adapt.” I am adapting little by little. As captain, I play responsibly and I am melting into the team.”

Regarding frontline striker Kim Hyeon, who was brought in around 30 minutes in the first half, “I came after a hiatus of about 4 months after the surgery. I am not 100% in physical condition. Anyway, I am a player who has to be in charge of the front line. I have to lift my body while playing. “he said.
