Suwon Samsung, once considered the 'dinosaur' of the K League 2 Suwon Samsung, once considered the 'dinosaur' of the K League 2 (2nd Division), is faltering. Led by head coach Yeom Ki-hoon, Suwon Samsung has won six, drawn one and lost four in the opening 11 matches of the Hana Bank K League 2 2024. In May, the team lost back-to-back matches to Seongnam FC (1:2) and Cheonan City FC (0:1). Suwon fans were furious. On May 11, they chanted, “Get out of here, Yeom Ki-hoon!” after losing at home to Chonan. It was a chilling moment for Suwon fans, who chanted for a victory even in the rain. Suwon aimed to “restore the pride” of the franchise this season. Suwon has been a 'K League powerhouse' since its founding in 1995. It has won the K League 1 and the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup. At one point, it was even considered a “dream club” because of the number of national team players. The fall was short-lived. Samsung Sports changed hands to Cheil Industries in 2014, and the club lost its momentum. The club suffered the humiliation of being relegated to the second division last year, finishing at the bottom of the K League 1. Suwon handed over the reins to 'club legend' Yim ahead of this season. Yeom was an acting coach at the end of last season, leading from the bench. This season, he is leading the team as the full-time head coach. [안전놀이터 추천](https://www.cmriindia.org/esports-betting-site/) After Park's appointment, the team hired a soccer expert to reorganize the system. Although some players left before the start of the season, most of the players who played in the K League 1 last year stayed, raising expectations for the season. Some people were afraid of Suwon, calling them a “dinosaur beyond ecological destruction. Suwon had an up-and-down start to the season. They suffered two losses in March alone. They were unable to adapt to the rough play and intense pressure of K League 2. However, Suwon came out firing in April. The team went unbeaten in five games (4 wins and 1 draw) and climbed to the top of the standings. The team's ability to overturn deficits and win games earned them warm applause from fans. However, in May, he hesitated. He looked rushed. It's a vicious cycle of conceding goals and then moving up the line to allow counterattacks. His ability to finish attacks is atrocious. He hasn't scored despite taking dozens of shots. Against Seongnam, Suwon attempted 20 shots (6 on target) and only managed to score one goal. Against Cheonan, they went scoreless after 22 shots. Suwon's fans have stood by their team through thick and thin, rain or shine. The average attendance for Suwon's six home games this season is 13,381. But the support doesn't stop at home. Suwon fans are no strangers to traveling. The seats that Suwon fans sweep away are the ones that lead to each club's “biggest crowd”. It's been jokingly said that Suwon fans are saving the local economy. Ahead of this season, both Yeom and the squad have vowed to 'win promotion' to the top flight. 2025 will mark the club's 30th anniversary. However, Suwon hasn't lived up to its fans' expectations in the opening 11 games of the season. With such high expectations, Suwon will have to live up to them. Suwon will have a break in the 12th round on the 15th. “Both the coach and the players are working hard to show a good performance in the next game,” said a club official.
