"It's a sea of tears. I respect our players."

After winning the first emotional victory in 14 years, Suwon FC Women's Coach Park Gil-young did not hide his overwhelming emotions.

In the second round of the WK League 2024 championship match held at Hwacheon Sports Park in Gangwon-do on the 9th, Suwon FC Women beat Hwacheon KSPO 'League Championship Team' by a combined score of 3 to 2 to confirm their first win in 14 years. He gained an advantage by winning 2-0 in the first game on the 5th at his home ground and for the first time this season, but the second game of the Hwacheon away game was a difficult match to guarantee. Suwon, which entered the championship match after a bloody playoff and penalty shootout with Gyeongju KHNP on the 2nd, had to play three games a week. However, Suwon FC women have become stronger. Even after winning the first game, he didn't let go of his mind. Even after winning the championship match and the first home match against Incheon Hyundai Steel 3-1 last year, he reflected on the bitter memory of losing the championship cup by 2-6 in the second away match. Veteran sisters from Kuk University, such as Shim Seo-yeon, Eo Hee-jin, and Park Se-ra, announced their retirement, and decided to finish everyone beautifully. Director Park Gil-young also said "Be sure to leave with stars!cried "

As expected, the second game of the Hwacheon away game was also a fierce battle. He was shaken by giving up the first goal to opponent ace Choi Yoo-jung in the first six minutes of the first half. Jeon Eun-ha, who was substituted, balanced 1-1 with Chun Geum's equalizer in the 37th minute of the first half. However, in the midst of Hwacheon KSPO's wave offensive, he gave up a goal to Hwacheon Choi Jeong-min again in the 34th minute of the second half and was in crisis. 1-2. If you concede one more goal, you have to go to extra time and penalty shootout, and Shim Seo-yeon's last dance was brilliant. He tried his best to block the opponent's striker, and goalkeeper Kim Kyung-hee cleared a new flying ball that emptied the goal with a desperate header. Suwon became one thanks to her sister's fighting spirit. They finished the game 1-2 without any additional runs. After lifting the dream cup, I shed tears.

Coach Park said, `It was a 'life game' for me and for our players as well.' "Our players' legs haven't moved since the middle of the second half. We had to see the overtime game, so we had to leave two replacements. I felt so sorry for him as a director"All I could do on the bench was cheer and scream"I looked back. "Seoyeon (Shim) was at the scene of Suwon's first victory in 14 years."He joined the Suwon Facilities Management Corporation in 2010 and led him to his first victory, and he also won the championship at the end of his career." "Whenever I had a hard time, I relied a lot on senior players as a coach. I wanted to let all retired players play at the championship once in a while, but I'm sorry that I couldn't make such a situation." Coach Park said, `I'm really proud of our players. I want to say thank you and respect you."

As is well known, Suwon FC is the only K-League club to have a women's team side by side. Suwon FC Women is run under the same roof as K League 1 Suwon FC, under the same roof, by the same club and the same front desk, cheering for each other and cooperating with each other. It has the same structure as the English Premier League and La Liga. Suwon FC, led by head coach Kim Eun-joong, defeated Gangwon FC 4-0, which had never beaten Gangwon FC this season in its last home game, in the 36th round of the K League 1, which took place shortly after Suwon FC Women beat Hwacheon KSPO to announce their first win in 14 years. Both the men's and women's teams won by beating the 'Power of Gangwon-do Province' as if they had promised. This season, Kim Eun-jung advanced to the top split, and Park Gil-young achieved her first women's soccer champion feat in 14 years.

Soon after winning the WK League, Choi Soon-ho, head of Suwon FC, expressed his joy, saying, `It's a really good day beyond words.' Mayor of Suwon Lee Jae-joon is currently on an overseas business trip, and he was happy to call and congratulate him. At the city level, we plan to organize a meaningful celebration with Suwon citizens."
