"Of course, you can survive." Even if there is a 1% hope, you must believe and challenge yourself."
Edgar, who saved Daegu FC with a header in Suwon FC's 35th round away match of the K League 1 on the 2nd, expressed his strong will to escape relegation.
Daegu was in crisis ahead of the match against Suwon at 4:30 p.m. that day. The Gwangju-Jeju match started first at 2 p.m. that day. If Jeju, ranked 11th, wins against Gwangju, it will be a 10-point gap with three games left. It was a desperate moment when Daegu's direct relegation might be decided.Daegu coach Kim Byung-soo, who was interviewed during the match, said "I haven't watched the Gwangju-Jeju match." Don't you just have to look at the results?" In the second half, Gwangju scored two goals and beat Jeju 2-0, raising hopes for another shot in Daegu.
Coach Kim said, `Neither Cesinha nor Edgar is in good shape. I didn't train properly. I brought him because I couldn't run." As Kim said, Cesinha was heavy. He collapsed on the ground several times due to the intensive check of Suwon's defense and failed to take a sharp opportunity. After dedicating the first goal to "leading the score", coach Kim Byung-soo pulled out Edgar's card in the 20th minute of the second half. In the 42nd minute of the second half, when Kaio, who caught Suwon Lee Ji-sol from behind, was sent off, and Suwon Luan's net goal was fierce shortly after the start of the second half extra time, Daegu was in deep defeat. After VAR, Suwon's second goal was erased by an offside decision, making the atmosphere chaotic, and Daegu did not give up until the end despite the 10-11 numerical inferiority. Edgar soared in the middle of the box to Daegu's last corner kick chance, Cesinha's laundry line cross. One-shot one-kill, one-shot header passed Suwon goalkeeper Ahn Jun-su's fingertips and was sucked into the corner of the net. As Suwon head coach Kim Eun-joong said, the magic of "'knowingly unblockable' one shot of repentance, 'Sedga (Sesingya + Edga)' worked once again. Desperate Daegu fans said "We're Daegu!cheered with a cry of " Suwon and Daegu eventually drew 1-1. Suwon remained in 10th place with 39 points and a two-point gap with ninth-place Ulsan HD (41 points). The lowest-ranked Daegu has 29 points and 3 games left to play against 11th-ranked Jeju (35 points) '6 points'. 'Direct demotion' has revived the spark of escape.
After the game, coach Kim Byung-soo said "Singya was not in a situation to play today. Still, he said he would play for the team until the end, so he had faith. Edgar, who was replaced, was also in a bad condition." "Edgar took more than a week off and came back from a short team training yesterday. I replaced him because he is an experienced player and the opponent feels burdened by the height. You did a great job without disappointing me" he said. "Sejingya also had injections on her back and should rest and see the situation. He used it with faith until the end and raised the offensive point. I confirmed the players' willingness to do it. It is not easy to win one point when one person is sent off, he said, praising the players' fighting spirit.
Edgar is close to Cesinha just by looking at his eyes. Even if we don't talk about it separately, we just want to dedicate ourselves to the team." "I scored a goal with the help of Cesinha for a long time, but I didn't even have time to celebrate the goal today. If such a goal comes out at the start rather than at the end of the game, we will be able to play a better game and lead the game." He talked about his affection and dedication to the team called Daegu, who came out as a substitute after just one day of training in a situation where his hamstring was not good and coach Kim diagnosed himself as being in a "non-run condition". "My hamstring is not good, but I tried to keep up with the flow of the game. "Since there is support from the team called Daegu and Daegu supporters, we have to overcome and play in this part of the game." "The director and the medical team had many meetings. There are a lot of well-trained players, but if I need to, I can sacrifice for the team and help the team." Even before today's game, I got to go out after consulting with the coach. There will be no problems with the remaining three games."
Can Daegu survive this hellish relegation war. Edgar answered the cruel question with determined eyes. "Shouldn't we think we can survive?" Even if there is only 1% hope, you must trust and challenge yourself. As we showed in the same game today, we will survive the remaining three games unconditionally."
