Gangwon FC and Suwon Samsung, which are staying in the relegation zone of the professional football K League 1, will face off against the edge of a cliff to leave the bottom spot.
Gangwon and Suwon will play the 24th round of the Hana One Q K League 2023 at 7:30 pm on the 22nd at Gangneung Sports Complex.
Gangwon has only 2 wins (10 draws, 11 losses, 16 points) in 23 matches, and is in 11th place with the fewest wins among 12 teams. Suwon is in 12th place with 3 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses (15 points).
The difference between the two teams is 1 point, and the ranking may change depending on the result of this head-to-head.
The atmosphere of the two teams is opposite. Gangwon has no win with 6 draws and 7 losses in 13 matches since the away game (1-0 win) against Jeonbuk Hyundai on April 29th.
Gangwon, which ranked in Split A last season, has struggled from the beginning of this season due to a blunt spear point and has been tossing and turning in the lower ranks. In the end, Gangwon sacked coach Choi Yong-soo during the A match last June and appointed coach Yoon Jeong-hwan.
However, the effect of the change of director has not yet been shown. Coach Yoon Jung-hwan drew 1-1 in his debut match against Suwon FC and failed to win in the following 4 games with 3 draws and 1 loss. If the draw continues, it is difficult to expect Gangwon to rebound at the end of the season.
In order for Gangwon to gain strength, it is essential to improve their offense. Gangwon is suffering from 14 goals so far, not scoring even one goal per game. Accordingly, Gangwon brought in foreign players such as Wellington and Gabriel to strengthen the front line.
Suwon is at the bottom, but the atmosphere is good recently. Suwon won 3-1 in the match against leader Ulsan Hyundai on the 15th, and succeeded in changing the tide by winning 3 points in 10 games.
Head coach Kim Byung-soo, who was appointed to Suwon midway through the season, encouraged the team by endowing players with confidence even when the team had not won 9 games in a row. Here, by bringing in new players for each position, they sought a rebound in the second half.
Director Kim Byung-soo’s choice is having its own effect. Both Kazuki in the midfield and Joo-Won Kim in the defense quickly melt into the team and breathe new energy into the team.
Kazuki has earned the trust of his teammates with his characteristic calm game management and intermittent creativity. Kim Joo-won is already playing the role of team leader, such as wearing the captain’s armband against Ulsan.바카라
After the confrontation between Gangwon and Suwon, K-League 1 is given a break for about two weeks. In order to reorganize the team for two weeks in a good atmosphere, you must first get out of the bottom.
