I'm not playing soccer to draw Sungnam Jeon Kyung-joon, the only undefeated team, but I don't mean much to the unbeaten record, and even if I lose, I'm brave enough to show you everything I've prepared

Seongnam FC will face Suwon Samsung in the ninth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 27th. Seongnam is the only unbeaten team in the league this season. He is in third place with four wins and four draws (16 points). Suwon ranks sixth with four wins, two draws and two losses (14 points), and is on the rise in the last five games. The two Myeongga teams, which once commanded the first division, will have a heated pride battle in the second division.
Ahead of the game, Seongnam FC coach Jeon Kyung-joon appeared to have a longer meeting than usual. Suwon Paulingno was expected to be selected, but the defense-related one-point strategy was presented and checked in case the No. 10 striker was absent and the two target strikers were operated.
Although he tied 0-0 with Bucheon the previous day, he was unbeaten in eight games, but coach Jeon Kyung-joon regretted not scoring a goal by saying to the players in the locker room, "We're not playing soccer to draw, right?" and failing to bring three points and not to win three consecutive games. Asked about his unbeaten performance on this day as well, "He asked that question today during an interview with a broadcaster. But if you score one goal, you can score two goals, and I think you're not playing soccer to draw. The homework is always to think about 'What to do now?' and we have to do it one by one, and we are preparing for that part intensively. Even if we lose, we just have to be brave with what we have prepared and win the next game by doing what we have prepared. It doesn't actually mean that much as we say outside." "It's the same at home or away, and as I always say, I see strong and weak teams among the opposing teams. Suwon Samsung has a list of offensive resources almost comparable to K League 1, has good personal skills, and coach Byun Sung-hwan will make efforts to make use of its characteristics. From my point of view, we have no choice but to work harder on how to respond as a team, and if we respond well to those things, we will be able to do what we can."
Expectations for a window-shield showdown with Seongnam are rising, with three foreign strikers such as Bruno Silva, Ilichenko, and Seraphim. "There are advantages of wing-forward players and characteristics of target players when they come in in a delay or competition. Our center-back players prepared for how to block it. Wing forward players are aggressive and have speed, but there are also disadvantages. It is important to dig into those shortcomings." "It's good to speed up and break through in the future, but we need to prepare for how to use the back space and the back space."," he added.
