''Self-destruction by mistake, a strong team only after this' 'Sharpball'Coach Kim Eun-joong did not laugh at the 5G unbeaten-dramatic equalizer
"We played a game of self-destruction by mistake. You can't be a strong team if you don't get beyond this."

Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong said something to the players after drawing 2-2 at home against Daegu FC in the 22nd round of the K League 1 at Suwon Stadium on the 14th, thanks to Kwon Kyung-won's theater equalizer in the 44th minute of the second half.

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. Kwon Kyung-won's dramatic header goal earned one point, and he set a record of the most unbeaten home in League 1 in the club's history with five undefeated games (3 wins and 2 draws) and six consecutive home losses (4 wins and 2 draws), but manager Kim was not satisfied.

Despite playing overwhelmingly superior to the results of the unbeaten run in the first half, he missed the goal opportunity, lost his concentration in the second half and even allowed a come-from-behind goal, paying attention to the backlog. "It became a difficult game because the opponent had better posture and concentration for the game than us. There is an aspect that we have taken with difficulty by ourselves. "However, I would like to say thank you to the players who did not give up the game that could have been lost until the end."It will be a harder fight every game in the future. I hope it's an opportunity to look back on today's game." "Playing our game at home, we are building points without losing. If it had been an away game today, it would have been successful, but it's an upsetting part that we played well and drew ourselves by mistake. "I want our players to recognize this part. If you don't go beyond this part, you can't become a strong team that goes up one level. I hope you can look back on yourself." Below is the full text of Suwon FC head coach Kim Eun-joong.



-Gyeonggi General Review

▶It was a strength for our players because many fans came to see us in hot weather. Unfortunately, it became a self-destructive game. It became a difficult game because the opponent had better posture and concentration for the game than us. There is an aspect that we have dragged ourselves with difficulty. However, I would like to say thank you to the players who played without giving up the game that could have been lost to the end. It's a tougher fight every game in the future. I hope it will be an opportunity to look back on the basis of today's game.

-You said you destroyed yourself, but what part is it specifically.

▶There was a lack of concentration and immersion in the stadium. There is a part that was difficult because he couldn't score. A mistake that could not be made in the losing scene came out. It's a pity that I made a mistake due to a lack of concentration. I think this part should not come out.

-After recruiting Son Joon-ho, the midfield has stabilized. If you were to evaluate the midfield play?

▶ Plays that can make use of their strengths in the midfield are coming out. There are good scenes in a good process, but there are aspects that lead to difficulty in the game as they fail to score in determination. It is urgent to recruit foreign strikers.

-Ji Dong-won has been on the flow with two consecutive goals,

▶I scored again today because I was in good condition and I gained confidence in scoring. There is still a physical burden to handle the full-time, so I wrote Byung-joon in a hurry. When the chance comes, you have to increase your scoring concentration.

-He said he was self-destructive. They tied the game after chasing a winable game, but they were undefeated in six games at home anyway. It is the first record in K League 1 since the foundation of Suwon FC.

▶Playing our game at home, we are building points without losing. If it had been an away game today, it would have been successful, but it is an upsetting part to play well and draw by mistake. I hope our players are aware of this. If you don't go beyond this part, you can't become a strong team that goes up one level. I wish I could take some time to reflect on myself.

-If you were to evaluate the overall performance of Kwon Kyung-won, who celebrated 100 K League 1 games today?

▶Kwon Kyung-won is a player who takes the center of defense and positions young players in our team every game. Always keep your condition steady. I found out at the end that today is 100 K League 1 games. There seems to be a part where he went up and scored in a difficult situation to celebrate 100 games. I want to say congratulations and thank you for keeping the center of every game well.

-What is the evaluation of Ahn Byung-joon and Noh Kyung-ho's performance in Suwon FC uniforms in the summer transfer market?

It's been three days since I joined the ▶ team and worked out. (An) Byung-joon was burdened with his performance because he did not play many games this year in Busan. Although it was a short time today, the striker-like heading and positioning were good. Noh Kyung-ho will also be able to use it as a good resource for the team in the future if he comes back to the first division and adjusts to the tempo quickly.
