"The Daejeon Hana Citizen should grow into a team that can compete for the championship in the K-League 1 and the AFC Champions League. Success or failure is determined by our will. We will not be satisfied with staying in the K-League 1 and will continue to move forward," said Lee Soon-min (30, Daejeon).온라인카지노
Daejeon won 2-1 away to Incheon United on November 10, confirming its remaining in the K League 1 regardless of the final result of this season.
Daejeon has 11 wins, 12 draws and 14 losses (45 points) in 37 K-League 1 matches this season. It ranks ninth among the 12 K-League 1 teams. Daejeon is four points ahead of Jeonbuk Hyundai, which ranks 10th, which is in the relegation zone. Even if it loses at home match against Jeju United, it will remain in ninth place.
Lee Soon-min spared himself as usual in the match against Incheon on the 10th.
Lee Soon-min did not avoid a rough body fight and repeatedly blocked the opponent's powerful shots with his whole body. By the time the ball crossed the goal line, he had the possibility to blow himself.
We heard the story of defensive midfielder Lee Soon-min, who played in 25 K League 1 games this season and contributed to the remaining of Daejeon.
Q. Daejeon caught Incheon and confirmed their stay in the K League 1.
It was a desperate match for both teams. We desperately needed to win. The away match against Incheon was as difficult as ever. We could see why Daejeon had many painful memories in this place. However, we didn't back down. We wanted to cut off all the painful memories. I think the sweat and strong will of the players showed on the ground.
Q. He continued to spare himself in the most important games of this season. What determination did you make in the games.
I tried not to avoid any situation. That's what I have to do in the stadium. To prevent my team from losing points and not losing. I put everything into it to show my mindset on the ground. I thought it would resonate more than anything else to show such performance as the main player of the team.
Q: The extra time in the second half of the match against Incheon was 8 minutes. How did you feel when the game ended.
I was surprised to see the extra time (laughs). It seemed like a little bit of time. And eight minutes really didn't go by. I kept trying to keep myself together. I think he kept on shouting, "I have to endure it somehow," in his heart. It was hard coming here, but I couldn't miss the victory because of the last few minutes.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the first thing I felt was "lucky to win." I had no idea about the outcome of other stadiums. I asked the bench. The answer was "confirmed the remaining team." I choked up while sharing the joy of staying in the K League 1 in front of fans. It has been an eventful year. I am grateful to coach Hwang Sun-hong, but I also thought of former coach Lee Min-seong a lot.
Q. Is there a reason.
Coach Lee Min-sung gave me great faith in moving to Daejeon. It was Lee Min-sung who promoted Daejeon, which stayed in the K League 2, to the K League 1. Coach Lee Min-sung told the players this when he left the team.
Q. What kind of story did you tell me.
Coach Lee Min-sung said with a smile, "I believe you guys will keep Daejeon in the K League 1," and added, "That's how I can't be the relegation coach." These words were another motivation for me. Coach Hwang Sun-hong, who took over the team during the season, has firmly established the center of the team that can be shaken. I think veteran players have also achieved their goal of staying in the K League 1 by playing their roles in their respective positions.
As the whole process went by like a panorama, I got even more emotional. I think it's a very fortunate season for the fans to smile broadly at the end.
Q. Hwang Sun-hong was in charge of the team during the season, but the situation did not change quickly. His performance and results were both poor, falling to the bottom (12th) of the K League 1. He overcame the period and showed remarkable rise to stay. Was there any special reason to rebound.
"It's amazing to me, too." It didn't change overnight. I tried to focus on what we had to do from the training ground. Coach Hwang Sun-hong clearly pointed out what the team and the players should do. He also took care not to dampen the mood at the training ground. Regardless of the outcome of the game, he always brightened the atmosphere of the training. The players also enjoyed the training as much as possible.
During my first season in Daejeon, I felt that this was the culture and strength of Daejeon. As I trained in that environment, I saw that the team got better and better. I think the biggest factor that helped us rebound is that we trusted each other. Winning the game once or twice gave me confidence, and I felt confident that I would stay in the K League 1.
Q. I'm leaving Gwangju FC to finish my first season in Daejeon. I only have the final match left for the season. How about looking back on my first season in Daejeon.
There were many difficult moments. There were also sad moments. There were days when I was sick. That's why I left Gwangju for Daejeon. I wanted to gain various experiences. I chose to move to a new environment to grow further than I do now. So I didn't avoid it. I sweated more to acknowledge the reality and overcome it. I believed that if I keep holding on and fighting, good days will definitely come. I won't be satisfied here. Both me and Daejeon have to go higher than now.
