Seongnam FC head coach Jeon Kyung-joon expressed regret after taking his first loss of the season 2-3 amid unexpected negative factors such as leaving Suwon Samsung on the 27th, injury, numerical inferiority and penalty kicks.
Seongnam was the only team that had four wins, four draws and no losses based on its solid defense that allowed only three runs in eight games this season. Suwon Samsung, armed with the strongest foreign strikers such as Paulingno, Ilichenko, and Bruno Silva, is also undefeated in five games, and the first face-off of the season between the two teams was exciting. After drawing 0-0 in the first half without scoring, the fiery war began in the second half. Suwon's Kim Ji-hyun cut the net in 34 seconds, and Seongnam's Captain Whois shot multiple goals in the 8th and 10th minutes of the second half to make a 2-1 turnaround. However, during the bloody competition in the second half of the free kick situation, Seongnam had an irreversible bad news. Goalkeepers Park Ji-min, Kang Kang-bin, and Jin Sung-wook were injured when they collapsed while trying to block the goal, and Benicio, who fouled Kwon Wan-kyu, was sent off, leading to a numerical inferiority situation. In the end, Suwon Lee Kyu-sung scored the winning goal in the extra time of the second half, recording his first loss of the season, 2-3.
After the game, Seongnam coach Jeon Kyung-joon said, "We lost for the first time. You can lose. It was a situation where we could change the results to what we had prepared in the second half, but the injury and exit resulted in bad results. But shouldn't we accept it if our players do their best to lose?" "I tried to respond as much as I could to what happened to the flow. They responded better than our players had"We commended the players for their fighting spirit. Asked about the next match against Cheongju in Gyeonggi Province, "We have to do well. You can lose, but losing a key player is a crisis. We have to do well with the remaining players. It could be a crisis. You have to prepare well," he replied. It was even more regrettable because the flow was good before the unexpected variable. Asked if he had done well in preparing before the variables, Jeon replied as follows. "My preparation for the first half didn't go well, so I asked the half-time players to be brave. Although he lost his first point, I think he would have won the game if the variables he said had not exploded because his response was good afterwards." Below is the full text of Seongnam coach Jeon Kyung-joon's post-match press conference.
