'Verified goalscorer'Ilyuchenko (35) wore Suwon Samsung's blue uniform with all his life and death for promotion.
On the 7th, the recruitment of Russian striker Ilyuchenko was announced on the Suwon club's official channel. Lee Il-Chenko, who played in Seoul until the last season, joined Suwon as a free agent. Ilyuchenko said "I'm happy to play for Suwon. I'm looking forward to all the games in the future, but I'm especially looking forward to home games. I hope you get a lot of support from your fans. I want to win a lot of games and celebrate my victory"How do you feel about joining the team?" After joining Pohang in 2019 and forming a relationship with the K-League, he has completed the 「Great Big Club Stamp Tour" leading to Pohang (2019-2020), Jeonbuk (2021-2022), Seoul (2022-2024), and Suwon.
Ilyuchenko is Suwon's 'winner' who is seeking promotion. Suwon was relegated to the second division for the first time in its foundation, finishing at the bottom of the K League 1 after a slump in the 2023 season. He sought to be promoted to manager Byun Sung-hwan last year, but failed to advance to the semi-playoff by a short distance while staying in sixth place. Suwon analyzed its lack of scoring ability, which ranked seventh (46 goals) overall in the K League 2, as the cause of the promotion failure, and began a major surgery after the season. Early on, he decided to break up with the existing striker Mulic and approached Ilyuchenko. Ilyuchenko, who has a solid physique of 1m87 and 82kg, appreciated not only scoring but also post-play and linked play with colleagues around him. It is expected to revitalize Suwon's offense and add destructive power. Ilyuchenko was the most attractive card among strikers on the market. Ilyuchenko, who joined Pohang in 2019 and opened his first relationship with the K-League, has scored 71 goals and 18 assists in 171 games for Pohang (2019-2020), Jeonbuk (2021-2022), and Seoul (2022-2024). Cesinha (73 goals) is the only player who has scored more goals than Ilyuchenko since 2019. He scored 14 goals last season to rank second in the K League 1 scoring rankings.

Suwon has also hired a partner to double its offense by working with Ilyuchenko in the offense. Kim Ji-hyun, who won the K League 1 Young Player Award for Gangwon in 2019, was brought from Ulsan, and Brazilian winger Bruno Silva, who led Seoul E-Land's advance to the promotion and playoffs last season, and Brazilian winger Seraphim, who has explosive speed. Bruno Silva and Seraphim also announced their recruitment on the 7th. With this, Suwon has established a powerful offensive line 'De-K League Second Class' in addition to the existing Kim Hyun-Paulino. Mulich and Mylat Son Suk-yong (Busan) have left the team, and Shin Seong Kim Joo-chan is scheduled to join the Armed Forces Sports Unit. Suwon, which will leave for Bangkok, Thailand on the 8th, quickly reorganized its squad by recruiting veteran center back Kwon Wan-kyu, fullback Chung Dong-yoon, midfielder Lee Min-hyuk, goalkeeper Kim Min-joon, and striker Lee Hun-ryul one after another and extending their contracts with goalkeeper Yang Hyung-mo and center back Han Ho-gang. Suwon will sweat hard with the goal of promotion for 20 days until the 28th. Ilyuchenko said "Our goal is clear. I will do my best to promote Suwon, which boasts history and tradition, to celebrate its 30th anniversary" he said.
