The keyword for the 22nd round of the Suwon Samsung and Seoul E-Land at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 27th is by far 'transfer life'

On this day, both teams included all the players who were fully recruited through the summer transfer market.

Home team Suwon put winger Park Ji-won and Kang Sung-jin and fullback and midfielder Kim Min-woo all in the replacement entry. Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan revealed the plan, saying, `We will stably play with existing resources from the first half to the middle of the second half, and then put in recruits as game changers in the second half.' There is a calculation that there is no need to make a big change in the squad at a time when it is on the rise to the point where it has won its first three consecutive league games under coach Byun.




Coach Byun said of Kang Sung-jin, who was brought on a surprise loan from Suwon's rival Seoul, `Actually, I think it's been a year since I made a love call. I've been wanting to rent since June last year. I watched Sungjin (Kang) training in elementary school, and he also worked with him when he was the youth representative. I know the pros and cons better than anyone else,' he said. `I've had some difficulties recently, but in my team, I'm going to save what I'm good at.'

Regarding Kang Sung-jin being criticized for moving to a rival team, it would not have been easy to move to Suwon because he grew up well as Seoul's Sunggol Youth. There must have been a lot of difficulties in transferring, but I think our club's authenticity and my trust have changed Sungjin's mind. Sungjin, who looked at the training site, seemed to have more excitement than pressure. Today, I'm going to give a chance in the second half as a game changer, and I hope I can show a good performance to Suwon Samsung fans," he said of the wind.

As for Kim Min-woo, who played for Suwon from 2017 to 2021 and returned to the Big Bird after four years, "I felt he was a really good player while training. I think it will help the team a lot. Hwang Seok-ho and Park Ji-won have already adapted to the team, so I don't think they need to explain them separately."

E-Land, on the other hand, has a long way to go after falling into a winless swamp for eight consecutive games and falling to sixth place. There is also a sense of urgency in the entry. E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun started with Gabriel, a striker recruited from Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, fullback Bae Seo-joon, center back Kim Ha-joon and goalkeeper Koo Sung-yoon. They expressed their hope that they would be a boost to the team.

The most highly anticipated player is 'Verified Striker'Gabriel. Gabriel had already scored eight goals and three assists and double-digit attack points in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, before the transfer. Manager Kim said "It was very difficult for us to recruit Gabriel. I am grateful that the club made a big decision in a very bad situation. The player seemed to be in very good shape because he played until last week, and he was quick to adapt for three to four days. We were worried about attacking the left side throughout the first half, but I think he's a player who will relieve that concern."

Suwon faced Gabriel of Cheongju (1-0 win) in North Chungcheong Province on the 12th, just 15 days ago. Coach Byun said, `Fortunately, I met Gabriel in the match against Jeonnam. Fortunately, I have been taught what kind of style I like and what I like."




The center back line is set up with Kim Soo-sung, Yoon-ho, and Kim Ha-joon, and Osmar is placed in front of it. With Osmar's input, captain Kim Oh-kyu starts off the bench. Recently, he followed the trend of not putting veterans Osmar and Kim Oh-kyu in at the same time. Coach Kim said, `As the weather gets hotter, the form of older players like Osmar Kim Oh-kyu has declined a little. There were a lot of errors in that part. This is why he recruited Kim Ha-joon and Aaron. When Kim Ha-joon and Aaron's conditions come up, I'm going to change the defense line."

Since taking the helm of E-Land last year, head coach Kim has recorded all four games against Suwon Samsung. It was also Kim who lost 11 consecutive games since Byun took office last year. He said "Now the flow is opposite to that of Suwon. I hope we can rebound through today's game" Director Byun doesn't care much about the `jinks.' Except for that, we are much better in terms of ranking and flow.

Coach Kim cited 'concentration' as the keyword to cut off the long winless victory, and Coach Byun mentioned 'calm'. The plan is to take advantage of E-Land's impatience.
