K1 League: Redemption!FC Seoul won away to Suwon FC to end a three-game losing streak
On the evening of April 30, local time in South Korea, the tenth round of the 2024 K1 League was contested. In Suwon, South Korea, FC Seoul, which has lost three in a row, challenged Suwon FC with three consecutive wins, considering the "double match in a week", coach Kim Ki-dong adopted a rotation strategy, and the white seed Fan, Lee Tae-seok and others who had just returned from the U23 Asian Cup entered the starting lineup, and the foreign aid was hidden, while Suwon FC started the main force including Lee Seung-woo and tried to grab the start.
In the stalemate between the two sides, Seoul broke the deadlock with the relay of "Twin Towers" Park Dong-jin and Kim Shin-jin, and in the second half of the game, the veteran Qi Chengyong scored from a distance, and finally Seoul maintained the score of 2-0 until the end, ending their three-game losing streak. For Coach Kim Ki-dong, it was the team's most crucial win of the season, and after ending a three-game losing streak, the team could get back on track. Hopefully, this will be a good start.
In the other match, Daejeon Asiana Citizens drew 0-0 at home with Gimcheon Sangmu, who remained at the top of the table with one more match.
After 14 years, Barcelona visited South Korea in May
Every summer, South Korea has a European club visiting, and in addition to playing against themselves, it is against K-League clubs or star teams. Recently, the Spanish media revealed that the La Liga giants Barcelona FC coached by Xavi announced that they would visit South Korea in the summer, and it is expected to play a warm-up match with FC Seoul at the end of May. At present, the Korean Football League has not been notified, and if the match time is confirmed, I am afraid that the away match against Gimcheon Sangmu on May 28 and the home match against Gwangju FC on June 2 will be affected. The problem now is that since it is not a continental competition, other clubs are not obliged to "make way" to postpone the game, and the league will not agree to postpone. Of course, if the competition is confirmed, it will be the first visit to Korea in 14 years since August 2010. Compared with the last time, Barcelona's "star flavor" this time is much darker.
Cho Gyu-sung fell into another goal drought, and Midtjylland fell to third in a heavy defeat
For Cho Kyu-sung, his dream of his and Lee Han-fan's first European season title may be "in vain". In the fifth round of the 23-24 Danish Super League championship group play-offs that ended on the evening of April 29, Midtjylland lost 0-3 to Silkeborg away. In this game, Cho Gyu-sung made his debut, but his performance in the front court was ineffective and he was replaced in the 63rd minute. And Li Hanfan, who missed many rounds due to injury, entered the squad, but did not get the opportunity to play. With five league games remaining, Midtjylland are four points behind Brondby and their next home game against Brondby has become a do-or-die affair, with a loss that would cost them the title of the season. In the big battle of May 5, they must occupy a firm grip on their destiny.
