Suwon FC coach Kim Do-gyun pointed out goalkeeper Lee Beom-young as the best player for the opening match against Jeju United.

Coach Kim finished the first round of ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’ with Jeju held at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 26th with a 0-0 draw and said, “Lee Beom-young made a lot of saves. Thanks to Lee Beom-young, we had no points and 1 point. I think it came,” he praised Lee Beom-young’s performance.

Lee Beom-young saved 6 out of 7 effective shots for Jeju that day. Yuri, Koo Ja-cheol, Ahn Hyeon-beom, and Kim Ju-gong’s shots were all blocked by Lee Beom-young’s hands and legs. In the second half, Yuri’s penalty hit the post. Coach Kim said, “It’s definitely different from last year. It’s gotten better. Suwon FC was weak against aerial balls from crosses. I think that weakness has been resolved to some extent with Lee Beom-young’s addition. I think we can expect a lot from now on.” said.

Lee Beom-young, who won the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, has not been able to compete for the past four years since an Achilles tendon injury. He made only two appearances at Suwon FC, which he joined last season. Lee Beom-young, who displayed a fighting spirit with a shaved head in the winter training camp, lived up to coach Kim’s trust by seizing the starting opportunity from the opening game due to the injury of the main goalkeeper Park Bae-jong.

Coach Kim said, “It was a good thing to have 1 point in the enemy area, but it was a game full of regrets overall.” He regretted that Suwon FC’s unique aggressive color was not expressed, saying, “I couldn’t play a cool attack. I want to give the wingbacks a passing score, but the offense was insufficient. I have to make up for it while playing the game.”안전놀이터

Another name for this day’s game was ‘Bitgaram Yun Derby’. Yoon Bit-garam was active in Jeju until last season and wore the Suwon FC uniform this winter. After the transfer, he made a public sniper remark to Jeju coach Nam Gi-il. Coach Kim said, “Today, we relied on a straight long ball. That’s why we couldn’t see Bitgaram Yoon. The opponent’s midfielder constantly kept Yoon Bitgaram in check.” He is a player who will create good scenes. I will look forward to it in the future.”
