Jeonbuk Hyundai striker Lee Seung-woo vowed to do his best until the end.
Jeonbuk Hyundai had a 0-0 draw with Incheon United in the 36th round of the “Hana One Q K League 1 2024” held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Jeonbuk maintained its 11th place with nine wins, 11 draws and 16 losses (38 points).
The team played somewhat defensively during the first half. Jeonbuk, which faced the second half without scoring a goal, deployed high-quality offensive resources such as Jeon Byeong-gwan, Lee Seung-woo, and Andrigo, but were not very effective. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
In the K-League 1, the 12th (lowest) team will be demoted to the K-League 2 (second division). The 10th and 11th teams will be determined whether they will remain through the promotion and playoffs. Jeonbuk has failed to move up the rankings due to its tie against Incheon. It is currently 11th. The outcome of the remaining matches is important.
After the game, Lee Seung-woo said, “It was such an important game, but I think it was a disappointing result for all the players, including me and the home fans.”
Due to the draw, Jeonbuk continued its winless streak in four consecutive league matches. When asked about the atmosphere of the team, he said, “The situation in Jeonbuk this year is not only one game but also the fans and players are not satisfied throughout the year. We have to do it again. We have two more games to go, so we have to do our best until the end.” 안전놀이터
The problem is not that Jeonbuk has no goals in its three recent league games. “Soccer is a sport in which you can win only when you score a goal. As a striker, I have responsibility for not scoring a goal. I am preparing well through training so that I can score a goal,” Lee said.
It is a bit awkward that Jeonbuk, the most winning team in the K-League, is in the relegation zone, but Lee Seung-woo experienced the promotion play-off for Suwon FC last season. “Even if I don’t say anything, the players know this position very well whether they have experienced relegation or not. It is true that everyone is preparing responsibly,” he said.
“I think this could be awkward. It’s true that it’s awkward because there are so many players who only won the championship. In the end, we need to overcome this situation to survive. I think we need to unite and prepare well,” he said.
Recently, Lee Seung-woo has played less time. He failed to play in the last match against Daejeon Hana Citizen, and played 28 minutes against Jeju United. He only played for 12 minutes in the match against Incheon. There is no choice but to be disappointed.
“Of course, if I take a lot of playing time and come to the stadium, I can have more chances and I think I’ll be given a role, but that’s not my choice. I want to do something within the given time as a player. I think I’m in good physical condition because I’ve been running all season and haven’t rested,” Lee said.
