Bae Jun-ho's breath is open.

Stoke City won 1-0 in the 42nd round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) against Cardiff at Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, England, at 11 p.m. on the 12th (Korea time).

Bae Joon-ho played as a starter and was seen flashing. In particular, in the fourth minute of the first half, Bae Joon-ho created a decisive opportunity for his teammates during the counterattack. After Bae Joon-ho received Ali al-Hamadi's pass, he handed over the perfect pass to Lewis Baker. Baker's shot soared into the sky in a chance that should have at least been an effective shot. It was such a disappointing finish that even Stoke fans who watched it covered their heads.




Bae Jun-ho did not show much presence in attack, but he supported the team by sincerely participating in defense. Stoke, who needed to win rather than one point, needed a change, and Bae Joon-ho was replaced in the 26th minute of the second half.

Stoke attempted a long throw-in in the 40th minute of the second half, when the spirit of the draw was gradually shining. All the defenders joined in. At this time, the goddess of victory raised Stoke's hand. During the competition, there was a premarital situation. The shot deflected off the defender, resulting in an own goal. Stoke held on with all his might for the rest of the day, earning three really valuable points.

Now Stoke is not 100% sure, but he is definitely away from relegation. There is a five-point gap with Cardiff in 22nd place. It is not easy to close the gap in the remaining four league games. Of course, we must not let our guard down. Stoke has a series of matches between top-ranked Leeds United and third-placed Sheffield United. In fact, it became important when Stoke met the rest of Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County because it was a difficult game to win.

If Stoke fails to confirm his stay until the league's final game against Derby, which is currently ranked 21st, there is a possibility that it will be a guillotine match to be given a ticket to relegation. It will be very important to win at home against Sheffield Wednesday, who has no motivation at all.

Even if Stoke survives the relegation for two consecutive seasons, Bae Jun-ho will need to play in the bigger water next season. It feels like there is nothing more for Bae Joon-ho to learn from Stoke, who competes to stay in the relegation zone every season. Even after the end of last season, Bae Joon-ho received the attention of several Premier League (EPL) clubs. As Bae Joon-ho has grown more this season, the time is coming to prepare for a new challenge by actively trying to transfer.
