Suwon FC drew 1-1 with Jeju United in the final 38th round of Hana One Q K League 1 2023 at Suwon Stadium on the 2nd.
As a result, Suwon FC finished the regular season in 11th place, ahead of Suwon Samsung (33 points, 35 points), which tied Gangwon FC 0-0 at the same time, with eight wins, nine draws and 21 losses (33 points).
Suwon Samsung, which finished at the bottom, experienced the pain of being demoted to K League 2 for the first time since the introduction of the promotion system in 2013.
Lee Seung-woo, who finished the regular round, regretted the relegation of Suwon Samsung, which he liked in the past. After the game, Lee Seung-woo met with reporters and joked, “One of the three teams had to fall to the second division, but I personally wanted Gangwon to be demoted.”
“I’ve been a fan of Suwon Samsung since I was young, and there are big events such as ‘Super Match’ and ‘Suwon The B’ in the K-League because I have Suwon Samsung. Considering this, it’s a shame,” he added.
Suwon Samsung, which has been a fan of its own since it was young, was demoted, but its team will play a playoff by avoiding the bottom place. Lee Seung-woo led the team’s offense by moving briskly against Jeju on the day. 스포츠토토
Lee Seung-woo said, “It wasn’t an easy game, but everyone ran hard and got the result they wanted. I wanted to add strength to the team’s attack by running briskly, but fortunately, it led to a good result,” and expressed satisfaction, “Even though I couldn’t score a goal, I was able to run and score a draw by trusting my teammates around me.”
Suwon FC will play the promotion PO against Busan, with the first away game in Busan on the 6th and the second home game on the 9th.
Lee Seung-woo said, “I’ve never played against Busan since I joined Suwon FC last year. When Suwon FC was promoted to the first division in 2015, I had a promotion PO with Busan, and I’ve watched it from the stands. As time has passed, it’s amazing that I’m now playing a promotion PO against Busan,” looking back eight years ago.
“Suwon FC players have enough capacity to stay. If only what they have prepared is displayed well on the field, they will be able to stay,” Lee said. “Since the players have created the current situation, I will do my best to survive until the end.”
