It was a complete defeat. Bucheon FC coach Lee Young-min blamed himself for being greedy at home.

Bucheon lost 0-3 to Suwon Samsung in the 24th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' held at Bucheon Stadium on the 23rd. I had no choice but to watch Suwon rookie Kim Ji-ho's one-man show with two goals and one assist.

Bucheon failed to stop Suwon's three-top, which consists of all under the age of 22. Bucheon coach Lee Young-min fully expected it, but it did not go as planned at the stadium.

After the game, coach Lee Young-min said, `It's my mistake. I took two days off after the Gyeongnam expedition. Those who would rest in the hot weather should have rested. I think I was greedy because I couldn't show you a good performance at home recently"It was regrettable.

This means that the rotation should have been operated.

Manager Lee Young-min said, `It is more regrettable to lose points in a situation where you do not have to lose points rather than scoreless points. It seems like they give up a goal whenever they have a physical fight or slip. We only had a lot of shooting numbers, but it wasn't accurate. I think that came out because I was in a hurry after giving up a goal."

Lee said, `What I want to praise this season's players is that they don't have consecutive losses. We have to finish the second round robin well so that we can compete until the end. I think we're a team that's going to compete enough until the playoffs. If we work together and prepare well, I believe we are competitive enough in the third round robin."
