Suwon Samsung of the professional soccer K League 2 draws a sketch of the promotion scenario thanks to the return of the injured.
Suwon will start its second-half schedule with a home game against Cheonan City at Yongin Mir Stadium on the 14th. The promotion of the K League 1 will be decided depending on nine games, including the match against Cheonan.
Suwon (41 points), ranking fifth in the league, seemed to be gaining momentum by defeating its competitors such as FC Anyang (48 points), ranking first, and Jeonnam Dragons (43 points), ranking second in the league, last month alone. However, the team lost to third-ranked Seoul E-Land (42 points), putting a brake on the team. It was also a moment when the team’s record of 11 matches without loss (five wins and six draws) was cut off since the inauguration of Coach Byun Sung-hwan. Suwon had a rather tense A-match break with ninth-ranked Cheongju FC (35 points) right before the break.
Good news spread to Suwon after the September break. Players who had not played for a long time due to injury are returning to training. Striker Kim Hyun and midfielder Park Sang-hyuk, who played as members of the first team in the early days of the season, are back. “It is difficult for the two players to participate immediately, but they are carefully returning as they have joined the team’s training,” a Suwon official said.
In addition, Kim Joo-chan, who played the role of a boy’s breadwinner last season, aims to improve his performance by losing weight again from his bulked-up body. Goalkeeper Yang Hyung-mo, who recently underwent surgery for elbow problems, is also scheduled to return within September. If the high energy level of young players after the appointment of manager Byun Sung-hwan was cited as a strength, it is time for veterans to experience. At the same time, there is a strength that can take various combinations of offense and center in each game.
Starting from September, Chuseok is in a rough schedule. The team has to play two home games and two away games for 14 days. After meeting with Cheonan City, the team will have a showdown with Seongnam FC (Wonjeong) on Saturday, Busan I’Park (Home) on Saturday, and Gyeongnam FC (Wonjeong) on Sunday. The stumbling block is to meet Seongnam, which has newly appointed coach Jeon Kyung-joon, and Busan, which is chasing after him, at a short interval. Gyeongnam also had two draws this season. 메이저사이트
Coach Byun Sung-hwan said in July, “Inside the club, we are following the green promotion scenario. The goal ranking is at least second.” Last month, he also vowed that if he builds up a good score in August, he will put a lot of pressure on any opponent. This is why people are paying attention to Suwon’s scenario in September. The second place in this season’s K League 2 will be the promotion playoff. The team will then decide whether it will be promoted or not through a home-and-away match against 11th place in the K League 1.
