Busan I-Park head coach Park Jin-seop expressed his deep regret after missing two promotion opportunities.

Busan lost 2-5 to Suwon FC in the second leg of the Hana OneQ K League 2023 Promotion Playoffs (PO) at Suwon Sports Complex at 2 p.m. on the 9th. After scoring the first goal, Busan conceded two goals in the second half and three goals in overtime. Despite scoring one goal in extra time, the team failed to win promotion to K League 1 with a combined score of 4-5 in the first and second rounds.

Coach Park Jin-seop said at the post-match press conference, "It was a disappointing game, just like the last game of the league. I'm sorry that the fans wanted us to get promoted, but we couldn't fulfill them. But the players have done a great job over the past year. They have brought us to this point. I want to praise them, I want to thank them, and I want to make sure we're a team that can challenge for promotion next year."

Failure to capitalize Busan won the first leg 2-1 at home to take the advantage. However, they were upset in the second game on the road, ending their promotion bid for the first time in four years. Speaking about the atmosphere in the locker room, coach Park Jin-seop said, "We talked about something similar. I told them to enjoy the rest of the game. I'm sure the players were disappointed. "I said, 'Let's just remember the fans and the tears you shed. I emphasized that we shouldn't repeat our mistakes next year." 카지노

In the pre-match press conference, Park Jin-seop warned of Suwon FC's scoring prowess. Choi Joon's first goal in the first half made it a two-goal game, but the team conceded two goals in the second half to force overtime. Busan then conceded two more goals and collapsed. Coach Park Jin-seop said, "We didn't want to draw. I think we had some physical problems. There was no relief. When one or two defenders had problems, the mood changed. The mood sagged after the goal."

The game went into extra time. "I emphasized physicality to the players," said Park Jin-seop, who prepared for the penalty shootout. I also told them to prepare for the opponent's counterattack. We also wanted to break through the side, but it didn't work out because we conceded early in extra time," he analyzed.

Busan also missed out on promotion in the final match of the K League 2. If they had won against Cheongju in Chungbuk, they could have promoted themselves to the top of the K League 2, but with the draw, they lost the top spot to Gimcheon Commerce and headed for the promotion PO. Coach Park Jin-seop said, "I'm very disappointed with the last game of the league, which we should have won. We conceded a lot of goals. We had chances to extend the lead from 1-0. I'm also disappointed with the way the players tried to defend."

"I think the most important thing is for the strikers to score goals. I don't think there will be many changes in the squad. We need to find players who can score goals. We also need to improve our finishing ability."
