[골닷컴, 상암] Reporter Kim Hyeong-joong = Kwon Chang-hoon of Kim Cheon-sang talked about the final match against his former team Suwon Samsung. He emphasized his professional appearance.
Kimcheon drew 1-1 in the away match against FC Seoul in the 35th round of Hana OneQ K League 1 2022 held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7:30 pm on the 12th. We conceded the opening goal early in the first half, but if Lee Young-jae equalized in the second half, we got one point.
Kwon Chang-hoon started the day and played 79 minutes. He didn’t fire the long-awaited goalkeeper, but he ran around the front throughout the game, creating chances for his teammates. He led the attack in Gimcheon with good chemistry with the same left-footed midfielder Lee Young-jae.
Kwon Chang-hoon, who we met in the mix zone after the match, said, “The game seems to have gone well. The part that the players talked about while preparing came out well during the match. I think it showed the football we wanted to play well.” He continued, “It would have been nice to have a result, but I don’t think it’s something that can be done. I think we need to prepare well for the remaining two games and the playoffs.”
Kim Cheon played 3 matches in the final round, no wins but no losses. Kwon Chang-hoon said, “I’m focusing on every game. I prepared well because every game is important, but it’s a pity that I didn’t win.”
Kwon Chang-hoon and Lee Young-jae and other comrades became the core of Gimcheon soccer. He takes on the role of the waist in the ranks and leads the team. Kwon Chang-hoon said, “There are players of the same age among the seniors, and they are all senior players, so they are leading the team well. The atmosphere is well created so that they can move in a good direction.”
The only disappointment this season is the scoring. He hasn’t scored a goalkeeper goal this season. He said, “I’m always looking forward to goals. I’m not a good goal scorer, but I have greed. But being greedy doesn’t mean I’m happy,” he said. It is also my role to help people do better. There is a lot to prepare and a lot of things to do. We are working hard while helping everyone.”
Gimcheon will now face Daegu FC and Suwon Samsung in the remaining two matches. Daegu has virtually confirmed their stay, and the match against Suwon in the final round is expected to be an important match that determines the final ranking. For Kwon Chang-hoon from Suwon, in a way, it is a joke of fate. However, he said, “We have to do the same. It’s my former team, but I’m a soldier now, so I have to do it accordingly. It’s my job as a player to do my best,” he said.
However, he also showed his trust in Suwon. He said, “I think Suwon will be able to survive because it is a strong team. But now we are in a difficult situation, so I think we will have to start living in Gimcheon.” Regarding the ranking competition with Suwon, he said, “If it’s a role I have to play, I think I should do it. For Suwon, we can’t lose. We have to do our best because we’re professionals.”
