Suwon FC once again ranked fifth after 2021. Suwon FC lost to Ulsan HD 2-4 in the final match of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' held at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on the 23rd.
He maintained 53 points (15 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses), but with two goals scored on the day, he rose one place from sixth place to fifth place, ahead of Pohang Steelers (14 wins, 11 draws and 3 losses). Suwon FC can play in ACL2 next season if Ulsan wins the Korea Cup and K-League teams fail to win the Asian Champions League Elite (ACL) and ACL2.
Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong congratulates Ulsan HD on its third consecutive win. It was the last game. I think it was a fun game with a lot of goals. Congratulations to Ulsan once again on this part. We are grateful to Suwon FC fans who came to support the last game from a distance and to the players who did not give up until the end."
Suwon FC remained in 11th place last year and managed to survive in the first part through the promotion and playoffs. This season, when head coach Kim took the helm, Suwon FC settled in Final A, and the finale was impressive.
Manager Kim said "It passed so fast that I didn't know how it went this season. I had a lot of work and experience. Our team came back to life after going to the relegation zone last year, but just going to Final A is amazing. I want to say that I'm proud of the player for finishing fifth. We finished this season with good results, so we need to prepare better for next year. Otherwise, it could be more difficult. The players are on vacation from tomorrow, but the coaches have to prepare well for next year," he stressed.
Suwon FC had a leak last summer during the season, when Lee Seung-woo, Kwon Kyung-won, and the nucleus of Gongsu were transferred. Coach Kim said, `I don't want to talk about the past, but I was shaken when many players left in the middle. The pain was suffered by the players. I also had a hard time. We won with a 'one team' and finished with a good ranking by pouring everything out of the stadium."
Suwon FC's Jung Seung-won scored two goals on the same day. Ulsan produced a miraculous drama in which Park Joo-young, a substitute playing coach, scored one goal and one assist in the K-League retirement game.
Coach Kim is the main player who assisted Park Chu-young's debut goal when he was an active FC Seoul player. He added "It's meaningful to score a goal at the end. I think I gave you another assist"After laughing, congratulations." Unlike when he was a player, I don't feel good about giving him an assist as a leader, but congratulations, and I think he will buy a meal in Seoul once."
As for Jung Seung-won "I think it's the last time." He is a free agent (FA) whose contract ends. Until last year, the name Jeong Seung-won had been forgotten. Knowing his potential and skills, he actively asked for recruitment this seasonIt seems that he devoted himself to the team and worked hard to increase his self-worth as Jung Seung-won. I'm not a striker and I'm not a good goal scorer, but it's amazing that I scored 11 goals. We can't do it together from our perspective, but I hope we will do better than this year and become a player who will make the national team next year. I will always support you."
