'Winning Mentality' Recovery Suwon Samsung Will Run for 3 consecutive wins?
Blog Article
There are teams that are gaining strength as they face May, the "queen of the seasons." It is Incheon United, led by Yoon Jung-hwan, Suwon Samsung under coach Byeon Sung-hwan, and Busan I'Park led by Cho Sung-hwan.
Incheon, which is seeking promotion in its first year of relegation, has won four consecutive games and is four points clear of second-place South Jeolla Province, while Suwon Samsung has been on the rise with four wins and one draw, including two consecutive wins. Busan I'Park is also ranked sixth with two wins and one draw in three matches, including two consecutive wins.
In particular, Suwon Samsung is notable for recovering its "winning mentality" in recent games. Suwon, which had been sluggish with one win and two losses since the opening, has recovered its confidence since winning 2-1 at home against Jeonnam on March 29, and has been on the rise of four wins and one draw in the last five games. After winning 3-2 at home against Seongnam on the 27th of last month, it aims to win its first three consecutive games of the season in an away game in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, on the 4th.
Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province, which had only away games since the opening of this season due to grass replacement project at its home stadium, is also poised to win its first home game of this season. Having shown sluggish performance for four consecutive games, the team has achieved dramatic rebound with two consecutive wins recently, and is aiming to win its first home game of this season. Incheon, which has won four consecutive games, aims to win five consecutive games against Gimpo, and Jeonnam, which will play 10 consecutive away games, will try to win consecutive games against Bucheon again.
It will preview seven games in round 10 of "Hana Bank K League 2 2025" on the 4th.
◆ Match of Round: The first home game in May, 'Chungbuk Cheongju VS Suwon.'
Many teams in the K League 2 this season mainly play away games in the early stages of this season. This is due to grass replacement construction at their home stadiums. With the start of May, some teams will return to their friendly homes. One of them is Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province. Of course, the team is not strong enough to face off at the opening match of the season. The team is facing Suwon, which has no loss (four wins and two draws) for six consecutive games.
Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju this season was officially led by head coach Kwon Oh-kyu, who was serving as an acting coach last season. Since then, he seemed to be cruising with his first win of the season against Gimpo in the third round, but immediately lost four consecutive games and the atmosphere subsided. Then, he won 2-0 against Seoul E-Land in the eighth round and 1-0 against Cheonan in the ninth round.
The biggest factor that allowed Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju to win consecutive games is a change in concept. Previously, it was based on four backs, but there were frequent runs due to the collapse of the balance between offense and defense. Since then, as he took an aggressive form of pressure based on three backs, his performance began to rise from the 7th round against Incheon, and he won consecutive games from the 8th round.
Coach Kwon Oh-kyu said, "I think I dressed up the wrong way." Gabriel's performance is particularly noticeable from the front. Gabriel has moved to Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, this season and scored five goals, tying for the second highest number of goals. He excels in both physical and speed, and he is as good as any other defense or competition. If Gabriel moves forward and disperses his defense, there are many scenes where second-line strikers penetrate and seek points. Gabriel also made three dribbles and eight passes to the offensive zone in the match against Cheonan in the eighth round, contributing significantly to the connection of offense.
On top of that, goalkeeper Lee Seung-hwan recorded a clean sheet for two consecutive games, and the defense continues to rise, finding stability centered on Jeon Hyun-byung.
Suwon, the visiting team, is also highly sought after. While recording no loss (four wins and two draws) in six consecutive matches, the team has scored 13 goals and conceded only five goals. Foreign players made good performances against the backdrop. Bruno Silva and Seraphim cut through the opponent's defense at a high speed, and Iulichenko and Paulino aim to score directly in the central area.
However, in the previous ninth round against Seongnam, Paulino was expected to be out due to injury and defense core Ko Jong-hyun was absent due to minor injuries, but Kim Ji-hyun, Lee Yu-chenko and Lee Kyu-sung scored consecutive goals to win the game 3-2. Considering that Seongnam had previously conceded only three goals in eight league games, Suwon's multi-point victory was even more meaningful.
Suwon's recent recovery of Winning Mentality and Lee Kyu-sung, who joined at the end of the transfer market, are also positive factors. Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju and Suwon, which meet in good flow, will be held at 4:30 p.m. on May 4 (Sunday) at Cheongju Stadium.
◆ Team of Round: Quiet but Strong 2nd place 'Jeonnam'
There is another team that delays the opening game of the home due to the replacement of the grass at the home stadium. It is Jeonnam. Until this round, the team has continued to push for 10 consecutive away games. Due to the nature of Gwangyang, it may be difficult to continue long-distance travel at the beginning of the season, but Jeonnam is ranked second. Jeollanam-do is chasing the leader Incheon by four points with five wins, three draws and one loss.
The biggest strength of South Jeolla Province is its tenacity. It often reverses situations in which the team draws quality games and ties games. A good example is its recent ninth round match against Gimpo. In the match, South Jeolla Province lost 17 shots due to fast attacks from its opponents, but goalkeeper Choi Bong-jin's good defense and three-backs leading to Yu Ji-ha, Kim Kyung-jae and Koo Hyun-joon neutralized Gimpo's attacks.
In particular, Kim Kyung-jae played a significant role as a defensive center by dominating the game as many as seven times in nine competitions in the air. As a result of his perseverance, South Jeolla Province scored a dramatic winning goal by Jung Ji-yong just before the end of the second half, earning three valuable points. There were only two effective shots on five shots, but his efficient operation paid off.
South Jeolla Province is closing the game with a one-goal gap except for its 2-0 win at the opening game against Cheonan. While organic moves in the offensive zone had an effect in the early days of the season, the team has even implemented practical management now. It is a remarkable achievement considering that Valdivia, a key player, has been sidelined due to injury and is continuing its away matches. 스포츠토토
Jeonnam will meet Bucheon in this round. Bucheon met Incheon in the previous ninth round and lost 1-3, but it has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses this season. Whether Jeonnam will continue its winning streak against Bucheon, the last opponent of the 10 consecutive away games, or whether Bucheon will rebound can be confirmed at Bucheon Stadium at 2 p.m. on May 4 (Sun).
