Seoul E-Land's initial bid for promotion is a series of tricky matches. E-Land clashed with second-place South Chungcheong Province Asan last season in the opening game held on the 23rd of last month. Asan, South Chungcheong Province, was classified as a `big five' by its coaches on Media Day. E-Land got off to a good start with a 2-1 victory.
The next opponent was the Jeonnam Dragons, ranked fourth last season. E-Land also met in the playoffs with South Jeolla Province. Jeollanam-do, which succeeded in recruiting storms throughout the winter, including Leandro, Honan, and Kim Kyung-jae, was evaluated as a "dark horse" in the promotion war. E-Land held a 1-1 draw against South Jeolla Province on the 1st.
E-Land's next opponent against two formidable teams is Suwon Samsung. E-Land will face Suwon at home on the 9th. It's a mountain over a mountain. On the 15th, he will go on his first expedition, and the team he will face is another favorite, Incheon United. Before the opening, coaches and media picked Suwon, Incheon, E-Land, Jeonnam, and Asan, South Chungcheong Province, as the `big five,' and coincidentally, E-Land met all four teams in the first four games.
Manager Kim Do-kyun said, `They are the teams we will meet anyway. Rather, it is a good opportunity to understand how much power we have this season." Coach Kim believes that if he passes this series well, he can gain that much confidence and compete in the promotion race.

Fortunately, when I opened the lid, new foreign strikers such as Euhler, Eidale, and Pedrillo are showing good performance in the beginning. In particular, Ewler has established himself as a solid ace, scoring one goal and two assists in his first two games. Leading in the key pass and cross categories. The sharp left-footed kick, which head coach Kim praised as "the best kick I've ever seen in my life," has been on fire from the beginning. A striker from the Australian national team, Eidale, also scored his debut goal against South Jeolla Province, and Pedringyo is also playing the leading role with his outstanding play. E-Land added depth to the attack by recruiting even Heo Yong-joon, who has experience in the national team.
Suwon and Incheon are higher-ranked teams than Asan and Jeonnam in South Chungcheong Province. The two teams with the K-League 1st-class squad are more organized and are being told that they are in the second round in the beginning. Will E-Land be able to cross the second-tier wall and prove its eligibility for promotion. Two important consecutive games are approaching to gauge E-Land's season.
