Suwon FC, which played the eighth round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Suwon Stadium on the 20th, came from behind to win 2-1 against Jeju United.
On the day, Lee Seung-woo was substituted in the second half and led Suwon FC to victory. In the 18th minute of the second half, he passed a pass just before Lee Yong’s lucky equalizer to set aside assistance, and in the extra time of the second half, he dribbled well inside the penalty box and scored a penalty kick through a cross that induced Choi Young-joon to handball. Lee boldly kicked it into the center to score an upset goal, and became the hero of the match.
“I’m so happy to win. It’s my first time to come from behind to win,” Lee told reporters after the match. “I especially failed to score a penalty kick by matching the goalposts last year or two years ago against Jeju. Jeju goalkeeper Kim Dong-joon was so good that the goal didn’t go well, but fortunately, he scored one against Jeju today. It could be a memory, and it will remain as a good memory,” he said, expressing satisfaction with his finally scoring a goal against Jeju.
“The manager moved to another department this week and celebrated with him at the end. I spent three years with him, and I think it will be a memory to have a ceremony with a person who has a memory,” he said.
He also asked for more time to play in the game. “When I play at Castle Park, I feel more comfortable than anywhere else,” Lee said. “I want to perform my part in the stadium as much as I can in Suwon. I am the worst player in the offense team, and my pride is hurt, and I feel sorry for Suwon FC fans,” he said, expressing his commitment to play in more games since he has no physical condition problems.
Still, Lee’s scoring pace is not bad. He has scored three goals in six matches so far. “I feel more relaxed now compared to the first two years. I feel like I am getting a lot of goals in the beginning. I want to compete with Lee Sang-hun to score goals. I have always been the top scorer even though I was a friend of mine since elementary school. Even after joining a professional team, I don’t want to lose to Lee Sang-hun, who is the top scorer,” he said, without hiding his ambition to become the top scorer.
Lee Sang-hun scored seven goals this season to become the surprise top scorer. Lee said, “We have been building friendship with Lee since elementary school.”
On Lee Sang-hun, Lee said, “He is a close friend of mine who often sleeps at my home as well. I still see him every two weeks. I like the time when he is out there. We talk positively about each other, which gives us strength,” adding, “When I came to the stands before the match, I said, ‘I feel good today, you look like you’re going to get a hat-trick,’ and I failed to play. So I was wary of his situation. After the match, I had a delicious dinner and said, “If I don’t score, I will follow you soon.”
Soccer fans are also looking forward to the combination of Andersson and Lee Seung-woo, who have teamed up in Portugal. “Anderson is a really good player. He has good technique and can easily beat one or two players. He has a good personality, and he shows enough performance as a player,” Lee said. “I don’t have much time to play together. We have a lot of conversations during training and discuss how to play when we run together. His teamwork is already good. I think he has a lot to show how he has to run a lot,” he said, hinting at his performance.
