"It's really hard to beat."
Jeju SK captain Lee Chang-min (31) of the K League 1 in professional football led his team to victory for the first time in more than a month and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lee Chang-min started in the 16th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 away game against Suwon FC at Suwon Stadium on the 27th and finished his duties after playing until the 45th minute of the second half when his team led 1-0. Jeju beat Suwon FC 1-0 to rank 10th in the league (16 points).
The match was called a six-point match. Before the match, Suwon FC was 10th and Jeju Island was 11th. The situation was more desperate for Jeju. It had only two draws and four losses in six previous matches. "It was a six-point match," Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom said.
It was Lee Chang-min, the captain, who saved Jeju in crisis. On the day, he served as the center fielder in a 4-3-3 format. Given advantages in long-distance kicks and passes, he calmly distributed the balls without panicking despite pressure from Suwon FC. He displayed high success rate with seven long-distance passes and 22 mid-range passes. Key passes that led to shots also recorded the highest number of two in the game on the day.
Jeju's first goal also came from Lee Chang-min's toes. During a corner kick attack at the 34th minute in the first half, he attempted a cross that was rolled inward after exchanging balls with Kim Ryun on the left side. Lee Jeol-ro (Brazilian player) jumped up and scored the first goal with his head. Jeju kept the score until the end, and scored a winning goal for the first time in 37 days. It was also Jeju's first away victory this season.
After the game, Lee Chang-min met with reporters in the mixed zone and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I thought it was really hard to beat."
As he is the captain of the team, he must have felt a lot of pressure. However, Lee Chang-min said, "When I see the game after the game, the opposing players always say, 'It's too hard to play with Jeju.' We lost the game, but we don't have any worries because the players tend to unite as one. I want to overcome it well because I stopped winning no games."
Regarding Lee Chang-min's performance after the game, head coach Kim Hak-beom said, "I had more than two years of absence due to military service, but I'm doing well. I think the midfield has stabilized," but he said, "I still need more of his performance." He served as a social service worker until March and has returned to the ground immediately after being discharged from the military.
When the reporters delivered this remark to Lee Chang-min, he said, "The coach tells me to try a lot of shooting. Since I am not 100% physical yet, I was refraining from shooting to focus on team play. I need to find a sense through training on my own." 먹튀검증
Finally, Lee Chang-min said, "It is important that we won the game with 6 points. I hope this will serve as an opportunity to turn the situation around. I will play the rest of the game with the same mindset." "The fans and the coach are looking forward to my shooting, so I will try it in the next game," he said with a smile.
