When the first Super Match was held in July last year, Suwon Samsung ranked 10th and FC Seoul 9th. At the second meeting in September, Suwon ranked 11th and Seoul 9th. The final super match was made while falling into the lower split. Since the 2000s, the confrontation between the two teams that will be sad if they are second in the K-League and claim to be famous has turned into a’sad match’, a twisted expression of a super match. But this year, the atmosphere is a little different. The first super match will be held with Suwon in 3rd and Seoul in 4th, with both teams at the top. It is a great opportunity to restore the honor of Super Match.
Suwon and Seoul clash at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 21st. Suwon is undefeated (3 wins, 2 draws) in the opening 5 games in a row, and Seoul is on the rise with 2 consecutive wins. The winning team is likely to continue the race for the lead with Jeonbuk Hyundai and Ulsan Hyundai, and the losing team is likely to be pushed back to the middle. Both teams are facing rivals on an important path.
In history, Seoul is slightly ahead with 35 wins, 24 draws and 33 losses. Last year, it was tense with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. Seoul has not lost 18 games (10 wins, 8 draws) in a row since its defeat in April 2015, but fell on his knees in the last game last year and ended unbeaten in a row. Both Suwon and Seoul are different teams from last year. Suwon is visiting me under the training of manager Park Gun-ha, who was urgently dispatched as a firefighter in the second half of last season. The same is true of Seoul, where director Park Jin-seop, who has risen to the command tower, is under command. Suwon, where the mobility of Seung-beom Ko, Tae-hwan Kim, Min-woo Kim, Seok-jong Han, and Ki-Je Lee stand out, and the passing power of Ki Sung-Yong, Palosevich, and Osmar in Seoul will be worth seeing.
Suwon Park Geon-ha said, “Being 3-0 over Pohang Steelers will help us play against Seoul as well.” “The players will also have gained confidence.” Seoul coach Park Jin-seop said, “Even if I don’t talk separately, all the players will know and prepare well,” he said. “I hope that a lot of fans will enjoy a good game.” It is noteworthy what kind of play Ki Sung-yong, who has scored two goals and one help in the opening five games, including the winning goal in two consecutive games in recent years, will play. Ki Sung-yong, who was unable to demonstrate his skills due to injury in a super match that he experienced after returning to Korea in the late last year, said, “Suwon will change into a good team after manager Park Geon-ha arrives, and it will be a difficult game.” I will make it so that I can build it up.”
