Coach Kim Do-kyun will definitely be promoted next year



"I will definitely get promoted next year."

It was the determination of Seoul E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun. E-Land lost 0-1 against Seongnam FC at Mokdong Stadium on the 27th, allowing Huiz to score the winning goal in the second half in the semi-playoff (PO) of the 「Hana Bank K League 2 2025」. E-Land, which was able to go to the PO just by drawing, did not solve the attack overall on the day. E-Land, which had bad luck when Park Chang-hwan's shot hit the post in the last-minute offensive, sought to advance to the PO again following last season, but unfortunately failed to achieve its goal.

Coach Kim, who went to the press conference after the game, said, `I want to congratulate Seongnam on winning. Our players did their best and did well as prepared. I wish I had scored, but I'm sorry I couldn't. It was a little lacking compared to Seongnam. That was the result. You have to accept it. I'm sorry that it was the last game for the fans who came in the cold weather. I thought I should prepare better for the next season. I want to say thank you to the players and staff who have worked hard for a year.




Then "The process of making a chance itself was not easy. Seongnam's defensive response was good. There was a belief that if it was 0-0 in the first half, we could score in the second half. Byun Kyung-joon, Gabriel, and Jung Jae-min were not enough to penetrate Seongnam's defense. Physically, Oh In-pyo and Kim Joo-hwan did well, but it's a shame that they lost a point where they should be careful."

E-Land wrapped up this season. Director Kim said, `It was a year where I studied a lot while being a leader. He performed well in the first robin, the team itself collapsed in the second robin, and managed to recover in the third robin to come this far. Such a process itself has become a big study. I hope that E-Land will continue to challenge promotion and become a team that can always be in the playoffs, but it's a shame this year. Still, I think more than half of the success was achieved. I will look back on last season and this season and make sure that I can become a team that can be promoted next year."

Then "The director must do well to advance. Compared to Incheon and Suwon in terms of squads this year, the difference in the end is the backup members. The difference must be narrowed. When the injury came out of the main game, it appeared a lot how to fill the member and when the second-robin performance was bad. You have to pay attention to this part. That way, we can maintain our performance for a long season." Finally "1 Robin was well done as a team. There were many situations in Robin. That's why it's so sad. How to recover from this is important when the atmosphere or performance drops while running a team. That's a difficult part, but he won only one game in two robins. I think the part where I was able to recover and rebound in 3 Robin is the strength of the E-Land players and the team. If we make better use of it and supplement it next season, I think we can be reborn as a team that can be promoted next season."
