Suwon FC, led by head coach Kim Eun-joong, will face Ulsan HD in the fifth round of Hana Bank's K League 2025, which will be held at Suwon Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 6th.
'Sharpball', which has yet to win with two draws and two losses in four games this season, desperately needs a point against Ulsan. Suwon FC, coached by Kim Eun-joong, had one win, one draw and two losses in four showdowns with Ulsan last season. They were completely defeated 0-3 in their first showdown in April, but after a 1-1 draw at home in July, they won 2-1 in away games in Ulsan in August and lost 2-4 in the final match of the top split season, which sent out a squad to prepare for the new season.
Ahead of the season's first showdown with Ulsan, coach Kim Eun-joong expressed strong determination. "Ulsan is a strong team in the K-League, no matter what anyone says, but it has given the players confidence against the team. If you do it with confidence, chances will come and the results will follow." Rather than relying on ace Andersson, he hoped to prove his worth against a strong team. "The players think that Andersson will do it for them." I said 'Don't ever think so. The message was, '11 players play soccer and depending on which player they depend on is that they are not confident, but I want them to have individual confidence.'" The game against Ulsan HD is an opportunity to show off one's value more on the field. I want you to be confident as much as you want." Below is the full text of Kim Eun-joong's pre-match press conference.
-Suwon FC has not won yet. How did you prepare for the Ulsan match.
▶In the last match against FC Seoul, we prepared to win points without losing as easily as we did at home, but the players did well. Ulsan is a strong team in the K League, no matter what anyone says, but it has given the players confidence against the team. He stressed that if you do it with confidence, chances will come and results will follow.
-Do you think the lineup you've been thinking about for the third time will be the solution. How do I prepare for the Ulsan Heo Yul offer?
▶As you know, I can't afford to be in a squad. I paid every card I could. I trained until yesterday, but (Yoon Bit) Garam was injured. A replacement player came in. Ulsan uses Heo Yul because Heo Yul has good form and has good right to provide. Our center backs Lee Ji-sol and Lee Hyun-yong will solve this part well without any problems.
-How do you make up for your lack of scoring ability?
▶There was a part like this at the beginning of last season. The defense was stabilized, but there were difficulties early in the season as the score was not scored. This year, he lost no points in two games, but he needs the ability of a striker to take a point. As a striker, I have experienced it, but mentally, I have to have confidence to score when I have a chance and score and gain confidence. I'm not in a hurry.
-Last year, you were worried about the front line striker, but how do you rate him.
▶ He has played in three games so far, but he is in the stage of adaptation. He missed two games due to a minor injury. This player has a lot of expectations because he is capable, has a sense of scoring, and is a representative player. I think it will help our team depending on how to make use of this player's strengths and how the player experiences it for the first time in Asia adapts well.
-Andersson's condition is
▶I also believe so much, but I think the players will do it for me. I also 'Don't think so. The message was, '11 players play soccer and depending on which player they depend on is that they are not confident, but I want them to have individual confidence.'" When playing with a team called Ulsan Hyundai, it is an opportunity to show off more of one's value on the field. I hope to be confident as much as I can.
-Ulsan's Boyanich, who is in good condition, was out due to injury.
▶Boyanichi has one of the best form, so he prepared for it for a week, but he fell out due to injury. However, new players such as Jung Woo-young are also experienced players. If we prepare well according to our own game style, I think we will lead it well.
-Suwon FC Youth Kang Min-jae, who overcame childhood cancer, visited the ground for ball delivery today. Can you say something as a K-League legend?
▶ As a soccer-loving player, such a scene becomes everyone's strength and dream. If there is anything professional players can help, I hope they can help through talent donation. I think our club will pay attention to it as much as possible.
