"I wasn't good enough as a leader."

Seongnam FC head coach Choi Chul-woo "coolly" admitted that he was to blame for the defeat.

Choi's side suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat at home against Chungnam Asan in the 19th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2024 at the Tancheon Stadium in Seongnam on Friday. The loss followed a 0-3 defeat to Suwon Samsung Electronics on the 22nd.

The defense was vulnerable due to the absence of Jang Hyo-joon, who was the core of the defense line, who suffered a middle injury in the Suwon game. Jang went down in the 19th minute of the Suwon game after being tackled by Lee Si-young. Upon further examination, he was diagnosed with a torn ACL and medial collateral ligament in his left knee, requiring surgery. He is effectively out for the season.

Choi shrugged and said, "To summarize the game, it's a bit..." before adding, "I'm not good enough as a coach. I have nothing to say to the fans about today's loss, even if I had ten mouths to feed."

Seongnam's players made it difficult for themselves 토토사이트 on the day, as they frequently missed passes and created crises. Choi didn't blame his players, however.

"I think the mistakes our players made are part of their growth process. That's the weight of being a professional, and they will grow more when they overcome it. I think the players will recognize their mistakes more than me as a coach."

Choi was warned for protesting the call, saying, "First of all, it was my fault. It's hard to comment on the refereeing in detail," he said, adding, "I mentioned the referee in the pre-match interview because I was worried about him in many ways. As professional athletes emphasize respect, I hope that everyone in football can be respectful of what happens on the field," he added.
