‘8G Museung’ Suwon Samsung, which is sadder to say “I’m doing my best”
“I’m sorry to the fans who were looking forward to it. Even if the performance was not to my liking, the players did their best while preparing for the game.”
At the post-game press conference, Choi Seong-yong, acting manager of Suwon Samsung, repeatedly emphasized that “the players are doing their best.” And he apologized to his fans.
It’s been two months since the 2023 season started, but there are no wins in 8 games (2 draws and 6 losses). For Suwon, a ‘famous family’ who is at the bottom of the K-League 1, the word ‘I’m doing my best’ has become a rather sad word.
Suwon Samsung lost 1-3 in an away game against FC Seoul in the 8th round of the Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023 held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2:00 pm on the 22nd.
On the 18th, 4 days before the rival Super Match, Suwon made a strong decision to sack coach Lee Byung-geun, who had only 2 draws and 5 losses in the opening 7 matches. Suwon, led by head coach Choi Seong-yong as acting head coach, lost even the game that day and could not get out of the bottom of the K-League 1 with 2 draws and 6 losses in the opening 8 matches.
In general, in the game right after the coach is sacked, the players wake up and produce unexpected results. In fact, after allowing Na Sang-ho to score the opening goal in the 37th minute of the first half, while the Seoul players were enjoying the goal ceremony, the Suwon team gathered in a circle around the captain Lee Ki-je in the middle of the stadium and showed the appearance of regrouping.
However, Suwon was overpowered by Seoul throughout the game, barely avoiding a goalless defeat by scoring a goal just before the end of the second half.
At the post-game press conference that day, the question went to Acting Manager Choi Seong-yong, saying, ‘It was like a confrontation between a strong team and a weak team, rather than a confrontation between rival teams.’ It could have been a humiliating remark considering the relationship between Seoul and Suwon, which are always seen as rivals and cannot eat each other. However, in reality, it was not wrong as Seoul easily beat Suwon in this match.
Acting head coach Choi said, “There are things I have to admit in some areas. The players did their best. I seem to be seen through the eyes of strong and weak teams because I was lacking and the parts that didn’t produce results before match. It would be nice if there were many good players in the team. But for now, this is all. However, the players are working out to the best of their ability and are not giving up until the end. Our coaching staff will work harder so that the players do not give up and do not die.” 먹튀검증
Acting coach Choi said, “I’m sorry to the fans who have been looking forward to it. Even if the performance was not to their liking, the players did their best in the time they prepared. In the remaining games, I will try to go one step further. I want to say sorry to the supporters and fans once again. I am sorry for disappointing and worrying about the first game as an acting manager. I will work hard with the players until the end as much as the time given to me.” and left the press conference.
