Suwon Samsung head coach Kim Byung-soo thanked his players for securing a valuable point against Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Han Ho-kang and Han Kyowon scored goals to draw 1-1 with Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 26th round of the Hana OneQ K League 2023 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Suwon improved to 19 points 메이저사이트 (4 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses). Depending on the outcome of the match between Gangwon and Ulsan, which started 30 minutes later, Suwon could drop back to the bottom of the table.
For now, Suwon can look forward to their next game, having shaken off the bad start to their post-break schedule with the Suwon derby loss.
In the post-match press conference, head coach Kim Byung-soo said, “It was a tough game for both teams in very hot conditions. We could have won, but I think Jeonbuk deserved to win as well. A point is not a bad result in a difficult time. Above all, many fans came and supported us, so I’m grateful that the players didn’t give up and worked hard until the end.”
Suwon was forced to utilize two substitutes due to injuries. Coach Kim said, “It’s too bad. It was a very bad sign, but we had no choice considering the injuries. I think Kim Tae-hwan, who did his best until he came out, did a good job,” Kim said.
“Jang Ho-ik also came out after a long time. We felt the pressure when Gustavo came out. That’s why we put in Boultuis. Lee Sang-min’s injury was heartbreaking. It was hard because we didn’t expect the injury so early.”
On the bench players’ performance, he said, “I think they did a good job. The players who were out for a long time, such as Acosti, had some physical problems because of the hot weather. I think they did their best until the end despite not being in the best shape.”
