Will Suwon Samsung's spear penetrate Seongnam FC's shield? Will the two teams that are competing for the top spot in the K League 2 be able to penetrate Seongnam FC's shield? Two teams that are competing for the top spot in the K League 2 will have a showdown.
□ Match of Round – 'Suwon vs Seongnam' at the top of the table
It is no exaggeration to say that Suwon and Seongnam (then Seongnam Ilhwa) commanded the K-League in the 2000s. As a result, the two teams were called the most prestigious teams representing the K-League, but Seongnam in 2022 and Suwon in 2023 were demoted one after another, leaving a regret. The two teams, which are desperately seeking to advance to the K-League 1, will face off in the early days of this season. Seongnam is currently ranked second and Suwon is ranked fifth, and the two teams have only two points difference in points, so they must catch each other in this match.
The home team, Suwon, has been on track recently. Since the match against Asan in South Chungcheong Province in the fifth round, the team has had an unbeaten streak of five games (three wins and two draws). Notably, it has scored eight goals in the recent three games, boasting strong firepower. One of the secrets of Suwon's rise is the breathing of foreign players. With Ilyuchenko at the forefront, Seraphim and Bruno Silva on the left and right sides show destructive performance. Pauligno, who recently changed his position to an attacking midfielder, is also displaying his peak form and leading the team's offense. In the last three matches, the four foreign players have scored two goals each, for a total of eight.
Thanks to foreign players' destructive power, Suwon ranks second in overall goal tally along with Incheon and Bucheon with 13 goals. On top of that, Lee Gyu-seong, a transfer student, started the game against Hwaseong for the first time in the previous eighth round, showing a sharp performance. He seems to have adapted to the team so quickly that he made 18 attempts by making 19 passes to the offensive end.
Seongnam is also displaying formidable capabilities to counter the situation. Seongnam's strength lies in its robustness. Currently, Seongnam is the only team that has lost four games and four draws, and has given up only three goals. The team is highly acidic, as the team does not allow even 0.5 goals per game. Benicio joining the team is significant. Benicio moved from Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province to Seongnam this year, and has played all hours before games.
Benicio worked with Kim Joo-won at the beginning of the season and recently changed his partner to a lecture guest, but he remains solid. Consisting of Jeong Seung-yong, Kang Kang-bin, Benicio and Shin Jae-won, the four-back team boasted solidity by scoring 20 clearances and 13 blockings in the match against Bucheon. Goalkeeper Park Ji-min also contributed to the team's scoreless performance by showing accurate goal kicks and defense capabilities in the previous eighth round match against Bucheon. In addition, Seongnam's performance in all positions has improved, including Park Soo-bin, Samuel's midfield, and Huiz's shot.
The upcoming showdown between the two teams will be between Seongnam, which boasts strong attack capability centered on foreign players and robust defense. As the two teams are at the top of each other, they also have strong will to win. The match will take place at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on Saturday.
□ Team of Round – 'Chungbuk Cheongju' escapes four consecutive losses of tears
Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province took a breather. This season, Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province was mired in a four-game losing streak after winning its first game of the season 3-2 against Gimpo in the third round. In the process, it scored only three goals and suffered from losing 10 goals. However, it successfully reversed the mood by beating strong team Seoul E-Land 2-0 in the previous eighth round. Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province, which earned three valuable points in an away game, showed that it was such a desperate game that coach Kwon Oh-kyu burst into tears after the game.
Above all, Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju is positive that foreign players are gradually adapting. In the previous match against Seoul E-Land, Pedro started and scored the first goal by scoring a penalty kick, and also made several dribbling breakthroughs on the right side. In the second half, Mateujingyo and Gabriel replaced each other, and three foreign players worked together for the first time in the season, constantly threatening Seoul E-Land. In addition, the defense, which had recently been shaken by a large number of runs, also played a scoreless game for the first time in a long time. Seoul E-Land pressed Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju with an onslaught, but goalkeeper Lee Seung-hwan's good defense and tight space between offense and defense stood out. After the game, head coach Kwon Oh-kyu declared that he has a clear concept now, saying, "I have dressed our players in clothes that have not been suitable."
Meanwhile, Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province is facing Cheonan this time. Cheonan remains at the bottom with one win and seven losses this season, and has been mired in a five-game losing streak in recent months. He is setting the tone centering on veterans, but has been suffering from a severe goal drought as he has scored no goals in four consecutive games. 먹튀검증
The match between Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, which is out of the crisis, and Cheonan, which is in desperate need of a rebound, will be held at Cheonan Stadium on the 26th.
□ Player of the Round – head and feet well 'Gonzalo (Busan) '
Despite being over two meters tall, overwhelming physical conditions, and typical target-type striker, there is also a player who is good at using his feet. The player who should pay attention to this round is Gonzalo from Busan.
Gonzalo, a Brazilian, has drawn attention as he stood 201 centimeters tall since his recruitment, but he has completed his adaptation quickly by scoring two goals and two assists in all games this season. Notably, Gonzalo, who started in the previous eighth round match against Ansan, scored a header goal 33 seconds after the start of the match. It was his shortest K-League 2 score in this season. Gonzalo, who gained momentum on the day, also helped Villerro make a critical connection to his second score, and even scored an assist with Peshin's third goal by scoring an exquisite cross. Gonzalo was actually involved in all three of Busan's goals in the match against Ansan.
In addition to his physicality, Gonzalo ranks first in the most offensive points in the team with his active activity, active shooting, and skills, and is making it difficult for the opposing defense in every game.
Gonzalo and Busan are playing against Hwaseong this time. Hwaseong, a new team, is experiencing the K-League 2 in a row due to three consecutive league losses recently. The team had strong teams including Incheon, Jeonnam, and Suwon. Hwaseong has scored nine goals in eight matches, recording more than one goal per match, but it is not enough to score 14 goals.
