Kang Sangyoon, who blamed himself for failing the Olympic qualifying round

I'm so sorry to all the people and soccer seniors

Suwon FC midfielder Kang Sang-yoon expressed responsibility for the results of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Asian Cup and the final Asian qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Suwon FC took the lead with Lee Seung-woo's first goal in the 11th round home game of the Hana One Q K League 1 2024 against Gangwon FC at Suwon Stadium on the 5th, but later lost 1-2 as it allowed two goals.

Suwon started to take the lead as Lee Seung-woo, who replaced Cho in the second half, shook the Gangwon net with a right footed shot in the 31st minute of the second half. However, Cho allowed an equalizer in the 37th minute of the second half, and bowed his head by giving a come-from-behind goal to Jeong Han-min in extra time of the second half.

Suwon, which gave up three points at its home game on Children's Day, failed to maintain its fourth-place position and dropped to fifth. It also lost three points at home to FC Seoul in the 10th round, marking its first consecutive defeat of the season in Gangwon Province.

Kang, who met at the joint coverage area after the game, couldn't hide his regret. On the day, Kang started as a side midfielder in the 4-3-3 screening and played on the ground before being replaced by Lee Seung-woo in the 12th minute of the second half.

Kang Sang-yoon said, I think we did well from the first half as we prepared today, but I'm sorry about the result, adding, I think we need to supplement a lot of the decisive parts in our attack area and study while watching the video.

The home game against Gangwon was Kang Sang-yoon's first start since returning to the club after the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup as a member of the U-23 national soccer team led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong.

Regarding his current physical condition, he said, My condition is always trying to be 100% every game, and I think my physical condition is in good condition right now.

When asked about the U-23 Asian Cup, which ended in a disaster, Kang Sang-yoon carefully opened his mouth. Hwang Sun-hong participated in the U-23 Asian Cup, which will open in July, where his qualification for the finals of the Paris Olympics will be at stake, but he failed to advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 40 years after being eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Hwang Sun-hong, who met Indonesia led by Shin Tae-yong in the quarterfinals, lost 10-11 in the shootout after a 2-2 close game. At that time, Kang Sang-yoon was substituted in the second half of the match against Indonesia and had to concede a ticket to the semifinals to Indonesia as he missed the penalty shootout as he came out as the No. 6 kicker.

At the shocking result, Kang expressed his responsibility, saying, I have nothing to say. I feel so sorry for all the people and soccer seniors.

Now that the tournament is over, I think it's time to keep my reflection in my heart and focus on the league and the team, he said, expressing his determination to do his best in the rest of the schedule.

When asked for advice or comfort from Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong, who has experience as a national team leader by age, he said, I'm sure it's hard for me, but I'm sure it was more difficult because of the disappointing results, and he said, I hope I recover and focus on the team again.

Kang Sang-yoon, a former Jeonbuk Hyundai Youth, moved to Suwon on loan at the request of Kim Eun-joong, who was with him during the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup ahead of the season's opening.

Kang Sang-yoon, wearing a Suwon uniform, played a total of five games, including the match against Gangwon, as soon as he joined the team. There are not many games because he was away from the club for a while due to the U-23 Asian Cup, but he is receiving a lot of trust from coach Kim as he started all five games he played.

Regarding his performance and performance at the beginning of the season, he said, I don't have any offensive points, so I think I need to supplement this part a lot, and explained, I'm thinking positively because I think there are more things that seem to broaden my perspective as I play every game.

But first of all, the calmness in front of the goal is a little disappointing, so I think I need to supplement it a lot, he added. 스포츠중계

Lastly, regarding the goal of this season, he said, I want to help the team the most, and my personal goal and hope is that the team's performance and the content of the game were better than now.
