Coach Kim Eun-joong expressed his determination after confirming his playoff (PO) with 10th place in the league due to the defeat against Gwangju FC. Suwon FC lost 0-1 against Gwangju FC in the 38th round of Hana Bank's K League 1 at Suwon Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 30th.
With the final match left on the day, Suwon ranked 10th in the league and scored 42 points. He is only two points shorter than Ulsan HD (44 points) in ninth place. He cannot rank ninth on his own, but he has only one case left, a glimmer of hope. Suwon, which wins Gwangju and Ulsan ties with 11th-ranked Jeju or loses, confirmed its remaining status with the 9th place in the 'miracle. However, despite Ulsan losing 0-1 to Jeju, Suwon also lost to Gwangju, finishing the regular league in 10th place by two points. Ahead of the Korea Cup final against Jeonbuk Hyundai, Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo chose a rotation to change eight starting lineups compared to the previous match against Ulsan, but he showed a calmer and more stable play than a hurried Suwon, and Gwangju Heize, who was replaced in the second half, scored the winning goal in four minutes. Suwon did its best to make a comeback, but it failed to bring victory in the midst of bad luck, with Gwangju goalkeeper Noh Hee-dong's shot blocked repeatedly by Gwangju goalkeeper Noh Hee-dong, and Willian's shot shook the net twice in the second half and the second half of extra time, but the goal was erased by offside decisions.

After the game, Suwon manager Kim Eun-joong said, `I should have won at home, but I'm sorry to the fans for not winning. It fell to the playoffs because we didn't do it. Regardless of the results of the other games, we came to this situation because we didn't do it"I acknowledged my defeat. "There's no time for the players to be disappointed because it's all gone.

-a general review of the game
▶I'm sorry to the home fans for not being able to do it on my own, but I should have won the home victory. It fell to the playoffs because we didn't do it. We came all the way to this situation because we didn't do it today, regardless of the results of the other games. There is no time for players to feel sorry because it passed. I will prepare well for Thursday's match against Bucheon so that I can stay.
-The play-offs depend on the atmosphere. What did you say to the players.
▶I did my best until the end, but it was a game that had to bring the results of the game, but there were difficulties. The atmosphere may be down, but I'm disappointed and I can't afford to down. Bucheon will be in a good mood for promotion. I should prepare thoroughly to beat the opponent from the first game in the atmosphere.
-You talked about impatience before the game, but there was a lot of impatience throughout the game today. How should we deal with the match against Bucheon.
▶I had a good chance in the first half, but in a way, it was an unfaithful finish. This part should be reflected on by strikers. The players became impatient. Bucheon is a team with good organizational power and toughness while playing K League 2. The more we do this, the more sincere and honest we have to operate. It's away in the first leg on Thursday, but we have to bring results.
-In this situation, the Suwon supporter Fortress may be "It was impressive to see the team cheering for the team.

Despite coming this far, we have to repay the fans who trust and support the players rather than criticize them. I will prepare well so that I can give my fans the last present in the remaining playoffs.
-Thoughts on the top scorer and what aggressive spells do you usually make.
▶First of all, the team scored a lot of goals and we have to see the results left to some extent, but there is a high possibility of being the top scorer. But it's all in the past. It became the past. You have to score in the next two most important games, dedicating yourself to the team. It's my hope that I'll be able to concentrate until the end.
