The injured player is back. But Suwon Samsung head coach Kim Byung-soo can’t play all his cards.
Suwon Samsung will play Daegu FC at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Thursday in the round of 16 of the 2023 Hana OneQ Korea Football Association (FA) Cup.
Kim said, “The injured players were fine in practice. Min Sang-ki should be trusted. Jeon Jin-woo and Acosti had a physical diagnosis that they 스포츠토토 can’t play more than 30 minutes. We’ll have to wait and see. “In the FA Cup, there are three substitutions. We have to bring a new game plan. After the 60th minute, if the opponent’s pressure is loosened, we will think about making changes,” he said.
Suwon utilizes a 3-1-4-2 formation. Kim Joo-chan and Myung Jun-je lead the attack. Son Ho-joon, Yoo Je-ho, Kim Bo-kyung, and Kim Tae-hwan support them. Lee Jong-sung starts in the defensive midfield. Go Myung-seok, Min Sang-ki, and Lee Kyu-seok are the three backs. Yang Hyung-mo will be in goal.
Coach Kim said, “Right now, we only have Ahn Byung-joon in the front line, but he’s tired from playing two days ago. Acosti could be an alternative, but he can’t play more than 30 minutes. We decided that Myung-Jun is the most suitable. He can work hard enough. We believe in him.”
“It’s true that Son Ho-joon has no choice. Lee Ki-jae is depleted. It’s true that Son Ho-joon is unstable because his confidence is down. But it’s a growth process, so we need to believe and support him. Players can be an option. It’s true that we don’t have enough alternatives to replace him in case of an emergency. I hope Son Ho-jun will have the courage to be proactive and do his best.”
In response, Daegu FC coach Choi Won-kwon said, “We are a member of the league. We have injuries. It’s hard to call it a rotation except for Lee Won-woo. I am grateful that we can use substitutes.”
Daegu plays a 3-4-3 tactic. Kim Young-joon, Vassellus, and Lee Geun-ho are in charge of the offense. Kim Kang-san, Park Se-jin, and Keita Serrato will play up front. Lee Won-woo, Hong Jeong-woon, and Jang Jang-won will start at the back. Oh Seung-hoon will wear the goalkeeping gloves.
Coach Choi said, “Basel was better than in the beginning. Their counterattack is sharp. Serrato is sincere. It’s a message to the two of them. I give them faith. I want them to take responsibility. Lee Won-woo is a sincere player. Of course, high school and the professional stage are different. If he shows like Park Se-jin in a big game like this, he will have another option.”
On Edgar’s return from injury: “Edgar trained one day yesterday. He wanted to come to this game, and the doctor gave him a ‘clear’. It’s best not to send him out. I think 20-30 minutes, the coaching staff thinks 10-20 minutes. I’m worried about injuries. I think he needs to play to improve his form.”
