Kwon Kyungwon K League 100 games

"I honestly want to win."

Kwon Kyung-won (32), the center of Suwon FC's defense, became the first Suwon FC player to show his dream of winning. Kwon Kyung-won, who made headlines with his surprise transfer to Suwon FC, where head coach Kim Eun-joong took the helm last winter, celebrated 100 K League 1 matches against Daegu FC in the 23rd round of Hana Bank's K League 1 at Home Castle Park on the 14th. He has played 100 games in 11 years since his debut in Jeonbuk in 2013. Kwon Kyung-won, who played in overseas leagues such as Al-Ahli in the United Arab Emirates, Tianjin in China, and Gamba Osaka in Japan, played 38 games for Jeonbuk, 23 games for Sangju Sangmu, and 18 games for Seongnam, and played 21 games with Kim Eun-joong's absolute trust this season.

Suwon dominated the first half of the game and led with Ji Dong-won's first goal, but lost 1-2 by giving up consecutive goals to Edgar and Park Se-jin due to defensive mistakes in the second half. In the 44th minute of the second half, center back Kwon Kyung-won, who went up to the front line immediately after Lee Yong's cross, flew up. A dramatic header goal was fired up. Along with the 2-2 draw, Suwon FC recorded the most unbeaten home record in League 1 in the club's history with five undefeated games (3 wins and 2 draws) and six consecutive home games (4 wins and 2 draws). After the game, coach Kim praised "(Kwon) Kyung-won as a player who takes the center of our team's defense and positions young players." "I think he went up and scored in a difficult situation to celebrate 100 games. Congratulations on your 100th game, and I want to say thank you for keeping the balance right."

Regarding the thrilling theater equalizer scene, Kwon Kyung-won said, `I had a lot of defense when the opponent was ahead. I thought I couldn't score if I didn't have the advantage at the cross"I went up because the coaching staff said it was okay to go up. Lee Yong-hyung's cross flew in just right for a header and was able to score"I looked back. "Since it's a defender, it's a priority to manage the game stably from the back, but the Daegu players were getting off and I thought it would be okay to go out once if (Kim) Tae-han defended me." I trusted Taehan and went up." "My position was not good during the opponent's come-from-behind goal. I didn't dwell on it because it was part of the game, but I really wanted to win it because it was a game where I could go up further if I won", he explained.

He said "It's a bit late, but the number '100 games' is by no means an easy number. I'm grateful to all the teams I've been through. Like (Lee) Yong-hyung, I want to play until the age of 40. He said he would also challenge for 200 games." "When I first came to Suwon FC earlier this year, I thought I would fight relegation like Seongnam. It's natural but surprising to see that we're doing well," he self-praised. "The players have changed too much, and the previous year's performance was bad. The team was not in a situation where they were receiving a lot of investment, and the idea was to avoid relegation, but now the atmosphere is different. I want to go to a better place." As for the secret of consistently maintaining the top five in the league after two rounds in the league "There is also the power of a veteran, but young friends follow the words of their older brothers well. It is because of the good team atmosphere that the seniors lead well and the juniors follow well." Regarding the power of Suwon FC, a civic club known as the 「Yeongyeong Restaurant」, overtaking the best corporate clubs, Kwon Kyung-won, Ji Dong-won, Jung Seung-won, Son Joon-ho, and Ahn Byung-joon, Kwon Kyung-won said, 「"The club solves what the team wants and what the players want in a customized way." The fact that the coach is good and the atmosphere of the team is good was all rumored among the players."

Kwon Kyung-won said, `Honestly, I want to win. Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-joon (owner of the team) said, "If he wins, he will car parade." "Now I want to win. I want the mayor to invest a little more"I hoped. As a veteran senior who experienced the good environment of big clubs at home and abroad, Kwon Kyung-won had something to say for the team and its juniors. "I hope you take a look at the soccer team's environment once more. Team B juniors are training on artificial turf, and a meal a day is provided for a limited amount of money. It would be nice to have a training ground and an accommodation restaurant. If the stable training environment and nutrition improve, the B team players will be able to grow further enough, and the team's performance will also improve."
