Seongnam FC manager Kim Nam-il expressed his disappointment with the foreign striker Mullich and expressed his intention to sign a new player through the summer transfer window.
Seongnam drew 2-2 against Suwon FC in the 13th round of Hana One Q K League 1 2022 held at Tancheon Sports Complex in Seongnam on the 18th.
On this day, Seongnam scored two goals first, but in the second half, Jung Dong-ho and Kim Min-hyuk’s own goals resulted in only a 6 game draw (1 draw and 5 losses).
After the game, manager Kim Nam-il said, “I struggled with giving the opponent the right to give the game a 2-0 lead. If the game had been managed wisely, it would have been a bit more advantageous. I’m sorry.” I do.” He bowed his head.
Seongnam finished the first half with a 1-0 lead, but at the start of the second half, Mullich was removed and Jae-Woo Kang was put in.
Manager Kim said, “I expected Mullich to compete with the opponent’s defense from the front and protect the ball, but it didn’t happen at all. I was disappointed with the attack, so I took it out at the beginning of the second half. He helped the attack.”
He continued, “I was disappointed with Mullich’s below-expected performance. We are trying to find and solve problems through training and meetings, but he is not living up to expectations,” he said. You will have to watch it.” In the worst case, we also considered replacing a foreign striker.
In addition, coach Kim Nam-il expressed disappointment in the attack overall, saying, “There are many situations where the ball is isolated even when the ball is connected to the front. The speed at which the midfielders approach the attack should improve.”
I saw hope. Koo Bon-cheol, who had been a steady starting before Suwon Samsung on the 14th, scored his first goal of the season in the 5th minute of the second half of the day, and central defender Kim Ji-soo, born in 2004, played a stable new defense for 90 minutes.
Coach Kim said, “The players who have recently been given a chance to start are doing their job. In particular, Ji Soo (Kim) did not lose the fight against the opponent for 90 minutes. It is both happy and sad to see the youngest player play the most stable game. “I feel emotions,” he said. “I hope Jisoo Kim can motivate young players. I’m thinking about whether to give opportunities to players I’ve always been eyeing.”
