Suwon FC's Winning Mentality is back with the use of Suwon FC Captain.
The K League 1 Suwon FC-Gwangju FC match resumed shortly after the East Asian Cup on the 18th. Suwon, ranked 11th in the league, won three consecutive games (two draws and four losses), and won a dramatic come-from-behind victory. In the 22nd minute of the second half, Gwangju Asani scored the first goal of the penalty kick, but in the 39th minute of the second half, Willian's equalizer and Andrigo's replacement in the 44th minute of the second half led to a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory. It is the first game in which Suwon came from behind to win after winning in seven games and losing points this season. Castle Park on a midsummer night, indeed, has reopened for the first time in a long time. Fans, players, and coaching staff became one.
Above all, the game was a return match for Lee Yong-yong, the 39-year-old captain. He stood back on the ground about three months after injuring his calf muscle in an away game in Anyang in April. With Captain's comeback, three points are back. After the game, Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong also pointed out this part. "Today's game was captain Lee Yong's return match after 3 months". I'm always grateful to Lee Yong. Senior players such as Lee Yong and Ji Dong-won are leading the players well in front of them. Our team is not one of them, but a team where everyone plays hard together. "Now all we need is a winning streak. There should be a winning mentality. I hope that the starting point is today. If our players have confidence, we can rise to a good enough position."
Lee Yong's thoughts on Captain were the same as those of director Kim Eun-joong. "The match against Gwangju was a must-win match. A positive view can be made after scoring a goal first in the second halfHer eyes were alive. While talking to each other 'can do', I felt 'it's changing a little bit' and eventually it resulted. Now we have to win back-to-back games and keep building points. A come-from-behind victory over Gwangju is a game that can receive such power."
Suwon FC is one of the fastest moving teams in the summer transfer market. Andersson, who was the core of the team's power, left for Seoul, and six players, including Willian, Andrigo, Ahn Hyun-beom, Han Chan-hee, Lee Si-young and Kim Kyung-min, were recruited. Despite many changes, Suwon FC's defensive organization did not falter. The stepping stone for the come-from-behind victory is due to the maintenance of solid defensive organization centered on veterans such as Lee Yong. Lee Yong said, `I practiced that part the most in three weeks because there were many new players.' "I paid attention to the build-up process and the defensive organization. That part went well in the match against Gwangju."
Lee Yong, who was born in 1986, is the hope of K-League veterans. In his return match, he easily played 83 minutes while going up and down the right line. Ji Dong-won and Yoon Bit-garam, who are already in their mid-30s, also say "Yong-hyung is running like that" during interviews. Lee Yong also laughed, saying, `I also ran while watching (Lee) Dong-guk hyung.' I think he said, `Please run for another year.' Looking at Dongkuk's brother, I also received a lot of strength and thought, `I can do it, too.' Middle and old juniors probably feel the same way." "Players who do it for a long time, but there are many cases where players who become FA in their mid-30s retire without a chance. There are not many chances to finish the game while playing." "Of course, it's right to show a performance. Seeing that I'm doing my best, I think those players will work harder, too," he said with a smile.
For a veteran player, as important as his performance is the coach's chemistry. Just as Lee Dong-gook had Choi Kang-hee during his time in Jeonbuk, there is Kim Eun-joong, who trusts and writes 'Captain Suep' for Lee Yong. Lee Yong-eun "The director always trusts me. In order to make use of my strengths and arrange my physical strength, he also tactically adjusts it. I know how you believe me, so I try to commit more to my body during practice or in the stadium. If I'm not feeling well, I'm going to scream again.' "I wanted to contribute to the team as much as the coach's belief, but I was so sorry that the team's performance continued to be poor after getting hurt. It was heartbreaking for the director to say 'Get well and come back'. I wanted to return as soon as possible, but I was so frustrated that I couldn't recover quickly because of my age"I recalled the last three months of rehabilitation, when my body and mind were struggling. "I want to take a step further because I know how the director feels and I want to help him" "There is still time to make up for it. All the players in the rest of the game should try their best and prepare well"He vowed a rebound in the second half of the year."
Lee Yong-eun of the 'Veteran Captain' predicted that the come-from-behind victory against Gwangju and three points in seven games will be the starting point of the turnaround in the second half. "It's the first time we've won against each other and the first time we've won since the break. The atmosphere will get stronger because we came from behind to win the game that we must win." "Existing players and new players must unite more and turn the tables on the rest of the game."I want you to be more confident when playing games and building up." I hope you don't fear mistakes and keep trying and playing with confidence. The new friends are desperate. I have faith that they will do it for me. The team is getting stronger as existing players are stimulated by these players"I was confident.
He also did not forget his gratitude to Suwon FC fans who consistently supported him on good days, bad days, sunny days, and rainy days. "Thank you to the fans who are always silently supporting us. In the second half of the year, we will show you a different side and a winning side, so please support us until the end. Way to go!"
Suwon FC will try to win its first consecutive game of the season in Pohang in the 23rd round of the K League 1 at 7:30 p.m. on the 22nd at Pohang Steelyard.
