That was the words of Seoul E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun. E-Land lost 1-2 against Jeonbuk Hyundai at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 8th, allowing Moon Seon-min to score the winning goal in the second half of the extra time in the second half. E-Land, who also lost 1-2 in the first game, knelt 2-4 on total. E-Land, who attempted to promote for the first time in its history, played in the promotion play-off for the first time in its history, but was blocked by Jeonbuk and shed tears.
Eland took the lead with Bruno Silva's first goal at the end of the first half. In the second half of the miracle, Thiago and Moon Seon-min lost consecutive goals. Coach Kim Do-kyun, who held a press conference after the game, said, `In the really cold weather, many fans visited both teams, and the players of both teams did their best for the team until the end. Unfortunately, the Seoul E-Land players failed to get promoted, but they did their best. I am grateful and proud as a director. I failed to get promoted, but neither I nor this team thinks it's a failure, and I hope it will be an opportunity to grow. I believe this experience will be a great asset for our players. I want to thank the players who have worked hard for a year. I want to say that all the staff members did a good job."
After scoring in the first half, it went well as planned in the locker room in the second half. In the second half, it was a tie, so let's not rush it and play without rush and aim for one more time. It's a shame. He came out by giving a throw-in in his first loss, and although there is a difference in skills, it is a difference in experience. I hope that I can grow into a better player using that as a foothold."
E-Land has had a meaningful season this year. Since its foundation, it has recorded its highest performance, and it has also played in the promotion and playoffs. Coach Kim added "There have been many changes in the new team. It's changed, too. There were good times, and there were hard times. Looking back after a year, it was still a year with many positive things. Our promotion is important, but E-Land hasn't been promoted in 10 years. The process of getting promoted is also important. When I think about such a process, I'm going through a good step this year. It's really more intense, and the second part is more difficult to promote next year. We will keep these experiences and lessons in mind and make it possible to become a team that can challenge for promotion next year."
As for the part needed for promotion "Support for the club is not too bad in the second part. It is an important part of how to organize the players and how to organize foreign players within the support. There were 10 percent and 20 percent disappointments this year. There were no foreign players on the striker's side, and it was a pity that he couldn't cope with it. I wish there were players who could solve it at the striker, but it didn't work out. Other players fill it well, and as a result, we have come this far, and we need to supplement this part well. Young players like Seo Jae-min, Baek Ji-woong, and Byun Kyung-joon have grown a lot. I think these players will perform better next year."
Finally, he said, `Some players, including Park Min-seo, cried after the game. I felt sorry as a director. I felt that way more when I met and greeted the fans. Although it did not meet the fans' expectations, please applaud our players for their hard work and thank E-Land fans for coming to the expedition. I will keep my gratitude and make sure that I can repay you next year."
