Unlike four years ago, Vultures were fortunate to get through the ceremony unscathed.
Suwon Samsung earned a 1-0 victory over Jeju United in the 27th round of the Hana OneQ K League 1 2023 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 18. With the three points, Suwon moved up to 11th in the league.
With the score tied at 0-0 until the final minute of the second half, the game was decided on a set piece. Late in the second half, Suwon brought on Boultuis for the injured Park Dae-won, who rose high to head home a ball from Lee Ki-jae in the 40th minute to rattle the Jeju goal. The game ended with a 1-0 victory for Suwon.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Vultuis, who scored the winning goal, said, “It was a very difficult game. I drove the ball well into the opponent’s box, but I couldn’t get a shot off, so it was tough. I was lucky to get the goal and get the three points. Regardless of our performance, we need to get the three points no matter what. All we can do now is focus on the next game.”
It was a really difficult game. We drove the ball well into their box, but we couldn’t get a shot off, so it was tough. We were lucky that the goal went in and we got the three points. Regardless of our performance, we need to get the three points no matter what. All we can do now is focus on the next game.
You haven’t had many chances so far
That’s true. Not just since I came to Korea, but in my entire career. The last three months have been the hardest. I can’t say I’ve been satisfied because I want to play professionally. I prepared with the idea that I can help the team, and today I was lucky enough to score and help the team. It would be nice to get a chance in the future and start. I hope I can help the team like that in the future.
Coach Kim Byung-soo called it the most beautiful header ever. Do you consider yourself lucky?
I said I was lucky because I scored the goal in such a short time. I felt that this goal was a good sign, that I could show my quality and help the team with my efforts in a difficult situation. I hope the team can do better. I think we need to work for the three points and get out of this difficult situation.
Differences between playing for Ulsan Hyundai and now playing for Suwon
Ulsan was a strong team, and I played in the back four, so I was used to that style. That doesn’t mean I feel any pressure now. I think Suwon’s tactics don’t suit me right now, so I can give other players a chance. I’m not offended by this. I’m just trying to work hard and hope that I can play a few minutes for the team like I did today.
There is something more I want to say. Right now I’m not important. The team is important. What’s important for the team is to stay up. We’re trying to get points in every game to stay up. We’ve been in a difficult situation for two years. I think everyone in Suwon is struggling. I’m trying to get more points so that we can get out of this situation and get out of this difficult situation.
You’ve scored goals for every team you’ve played for in your career. How did you feel about your first goal for Suwon?
My family and friends were making fun of me because I wasn’t scoring. I put pressure on myself, and when I look back, I realize I was trying to score goals. But goals come naturally. I didn’t think I was going to score today either. There is still a lot of season left. I want to score more goals in the Suwon jersey like today.
Today, I did a natural knee sliding trick.
It’s been four years since I did that in Ulsan, and the video 토토사이트 is still circulating on social media. People have seen it and made fun of me. At the same time, when I scored a goal, I was asked to do the gesture, so I scored and thought about it.
Luckily, the Big Bird turf is good. Today I was able to do it without incident.
