"If you focus on today's game, a good opportunity will come."

Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong responded to a question about a player he would like to recommend to the A national team ahead of the home game against Jeju in the 28th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Suwon Stadium on the 25th.

At Castle Park, where the Suwon-Jeju match will be held, Portugal's head coach João Arroso and Agomaia's tactical analysis coach announced their intuitive plans.

Son Joon-ho, Jung Seung-won and Kang Sang-yoon were listed side by side in the starting lineup on the day, as the timing of ace Son Joon-ho's return to the A team, who scored his first goal in 1,400 days against Ulsan, drew attention.

Coach Kim Eun-joong said, `There are many good reviews of our players. If we focus on the game without being conscious, wouldn't we give a good evaluation?" he carefully predicted. "If you do more than you do, you will have a good opportunity. Since there are players who will get a good chance, I think there will be a good result if we focus on today's game," he said, expressing anticipation.

Meanwhile, A national team coach Hong Myung-bo will announce the list of national teams to play two consecutive games against Oman (8 p.m. on September 5, Seoul World Cup Stadium) and away (11 p.m. on September 10, Oman Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex) at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, at 11 a.m. on September 26.

-After losing consecutive games, he won against Ulsan, but what did he improve in the preparation process?

▶There are times when you don't play as you prepared. The match against Daejeon was difficult because I thought about it comfortably. In the match against Ulsan, the preparation process for not losing three consecutive games was extraordinary. We are not a team that overpowers our opponents with individual abilities. The part about playing as a team matched well.

-How do you expect the Jeju match.

▶Jeju is one of the difficult teams. The defensive organization is good. stick together. It is a difficult and difficult team because I know Kim Hak-beom's style well. I am well aware of that and lost 0-1 on the road in a difficult game. Today's game will not be easy, but if you lead well, there will be good results.

-Director Kim Hak-beom said that as much as he knows each other well, variables will determine the outcome.

▶You're right. As the weather is hot, the victory or defeat is decided by unexpected variables. At the end, there is a part where you lose and score points in the concentration fight. We also prepared that part. I think the victory or defeat will be determined by such an unexpected variable.

-Head coach Kim Hak-beom evaluated midfielders as the strongest in the league.

▶You said a good thing because we are in a higher position than Jeju. However, there was no easy or comfortable game as we played 27 games. It will be a difficult game again today. The bottom team beat the top team again yesterday. The victory or defeat will depend on which team plays more desperately.

The coaches of the A national team will come to the stadium again today, so do you have any players you want to recommend.

There is a lot of good evaluation of our players. If we focus on the game without being aware of it, wouldn't we give a good evaluation. If you do more than you do, you get a good opportunity. Since there are players who will get a good chance, I think there will be a good result if we focus on today's game.

-Suwon FC is still a team that can compete for the championship, although there is a record leakage in the summer transfer market.

▶On the surface, even if there is no significant difference in performance, leaders have some difficulties. Players also have some difficulties in that area, but this can also be an excuse. When our players also lost consecutive games, (Lee) Seung-woo and (Kwon) Kyung-won did a good job, but if we give up and collapse just because that player fell out, our players' value would fall. He sent a message asking him to prove his value. I was motivated well in that area. We think of fighting as a team. be recognized for its value. If we do well in the rest of the game, we will be able to be recognized for better value.
