Reporter Ahn Gyeong-nam = Will the goal march of the second-generation soccer players, who shined in the opening match of the professional soccer K-League, continue this weekend?
Pohang Steelers will play the second round of the Hanawon Q K League 1 2023 with Suwon FC at Suwon Sports Complex at 2:00 pm on the 4th.
Pohang, which started off with a dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind victory in the opening game against Daegu FC on the 26th of last month, is determined to be in the mood with consecutive victories.
Pohang was overshadowed by Ulsan Hyundai and Jeonbuk Hyundai last season, but showed its potential by finishing in third place.
Ahead of the new season, veteran midfielder Shin Jin-ho left for Incheon United, and Lim Sang-hyeop wore an FC Seoul uniform.
In particular, the performance of Pohang’s ‘Hojae’ Ho-jae Lee, who led the victory with multiple goals as a ‘special joker’ in the match against Daegu, is encouraging.
Lee Ho-jae, the son of K-League 2 (2nd Division) Seongnam FC head coach Lee Ki-hyung, came in for Daegu in the 21st minute of the second half when the team was behind by 1-2, and scored consecutive goals in the 39th minute and extra time in the second half to achieve a come-from-behind victory.
Lee Ho-jae, who made his professional debut in Pohang in 2021, tied his own record for most goals in a season with multiple goals in the opening game.
Ahead of this season, her exhausting efforts, such as losing weight, led to a goal in the opening game.
Lee Ho-jae is likely to be put in as a joker in the second half of the second round with Suwon FC as Jeka’s backup resource when the opponent’s concentration has decreased. Suwon FC, played by Barcelona youth Lee Seung-woo, drew 0-0 with Jeju United in their opening game.
If Lee Ho-jae reproduces the decisiveness he showed in the match against Daegu once again, it is not impossible to score in the opening two games in a row.
Lee Ho-jae’s father, coach Lee Ki-hyeong, also took over his son’s energy and won a thrilling 2-1 victory against Ansan Greeners in the first round of K-League 2 on the 1st.
It was also Shin Jae-won, the son of Indonesia coach Shin Tae-yong, who was a second-generation soccer player, who saved coach Lee Ki-hyung.
Shin Jae-Won, who started the game from the bench, was replaced by Jung Han-Min in the 6th minute of the second half and finished off Park Sang-Hyeok’s corner kick with a header from the front of the goal in the second half of extra time.
Seongnam, which was relegated to the bottom of K-League 1 last season, took the first step toward promotion to the first division with a theater goal by Shin Jae-won, the son of former manager Shin Tae-yong, a club legend.
On the same day, Seongnam-do, the second round of the K-League 2 will be held against Bucheon FC at 1:30 pm at the Bucheon Sports Complex.
Shin Jae-won performed better than expected in the match against Ansan, and since it is a game that will be held in three days, he may get his first start if the rotation is activated. 스포츠토토
Lee Tae-seok, the son of Lee Eul-yong, Yongin City Football Center general manager, who played a key role in the semifinals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is also aiming to start two consecutive games at FC Seoul.
On the 25th of last month, Lee Tae-seok, who started in the home opener against Incheon, played full-time and led Seoul to a 2-1 victory.
He is expected to play as Seoul’s main side resource this season by showing reckless overlapping along with solid defense.
I watched the opening game from outside, but Lee Eul-yong’s second son, Seoul striker Lee Seung-jun, and Suwon striker Seo Dong-han, the youngest son of Chengdu Rongcheng (China) coach Seo Jeong-won, are also looking for opportunities.
