"I want to do well for 6 months and get recognized for my value when the market opens in winter."
Suwon FC won 5-1 in the 23rd round of the Pohang Steelers' 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Pohang Steelyard on the 22nd. He won his first consecutive victory of the season and his first away victory, signaling a rebound.
Han Chan-hee also started the game on the day. Han Chan-hee, who faced this season wearing a Pohang uniform, chose to leave for Suwon FC this summer. Starting in two consecutive games since joining Suwon FC on loan. Although he did not score an offensive point, he contributed to the team's great victory by working hard in the midfield. Han Chan-hee said "It's where I've been for two years, and it felt weird to come as a player on another team. I controlled my mind thinking that I was playing the same game. "
He also faced Pohang players before the game. They were opponents on the ground, but Pohang players welcomed Han Chan-hee. He said "Everyone is comfortable 'Why are you wearing this when you're a player here?'" I was told a lot that I should be wearing a Pohang uniform.
Han Chan-hee will become a free agent after a six-month lease because he left Suwon FC with six months left in his contract with Pohang. As if it were fate, Han Chan-hee recently moved in a series with Ki Sung-yueng, a senior who was selected as a role model in the process of moving two teams. This situation was repeated in Seoul and Pohang. Han Chan-hee is a senior who always contacts her. As a joke, I said 'Why do you keep following me and pushing me away, I ran away to Pohang and it happened again?' If I play with Sung-yong, there will be synergy and there will be a lot to learn. However, I will become a free agent in six months. Therefore, it was an inevitable choice because my playing time was limited in the second half and I could not be recognized for my value. It is a team that gave Suwon FC a place to play for six months. I want to do well for six months and be warmly valued when the market opens in winter."
In addition to Han Chan-hee this summer, Suwon FC was joined by several freshmen, including Ahn Hyun-beom, Willian, Andrigo, and Lee Si-young. He focused on strengthening his power to raise his ranking in the relegation zone. Is it the effect of recruitment. With the victory against Pohang, he set the stage for his rise with two consecutive wins. Han Chan-hee evaluated that the joining of freshmen, who were in a similar situation with existing players, had a good impact. He said "The players who came here couldn't come out of many games right away and wanted time to play, but they still showed what they showed in the K-League. They are players who can play their game at any time if the coach gives them trust. There is pressure to produce results because the team situation is bad. However, I won two consecutive games, and even if my personal performance is disappointing, I am honored to play like this in the winning streak process. I want to continue."
He has already adapted to Suwon FC. Han Chan-hee said, `I think I melted 80 to 90 percent into the team. I tend to adapt very quickly. I'm getting along so well with the players. My physical condition still needs to be a little higher. As much as the coach believes in me, I have to repay him with my performance. I have a lot to show you personally, but I'm not fit yet, so I want to repay my performance."
Suwon FC ranks 11th in the K League 1 this season. Having a hard time at the beginning of the season, there is still a long way to go. Han Chan-hee said "When I came in the summer, it was time to turn the halfway point. It can be said that the difference in points is large, but I think it is a point that can be narrowed if you ride the flow. I'm on the flow now, and if I play the rest of the game well, I think I can finish 9th or higher. This is the goal."
Suwon FC's next opponent, who wants to win, is Anyang. Anyang, ranked 10th, is an opponent that Suwon FC must catch in order to maintain its upward trend. Han Chan-hee said, "Three consecutive wins mean a lot. You can win two games in a row, but three games in a row are different. I really want to win the match against Anyang"I think I'm doing a good job of taking the center field defensively, even if I don't have enough performance in the midfield. If we maintain this in the match against Anyang and improve our aggressive performance a little more, wouldn't we be able to bring better results than the match against Pohang?"
