Blog Article

It was a painful draw in Seoul, but Banks' performance as a starter for two consecutive games was positive.
FC Seoul, led by head coach Kim Ki-dong, drew 1-1 with Suwon FC, led by head coach Kim Eun-joong, in the 15th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at 4:30 p.m. on the 24th at Seoul World Cup Stadium. With this, Seoul ranked seventh with four wins, seven draws and four losses and 19 points, while Suwon rose to 10th with three wins, six draws and six losses and 15 points.

Seoul took the lead early in the game, but a series of shots continued to attempt and eventually scored the first goal. Choi Jun, who caught the ball from the right side in the 43rd minute of the first half, crossed, and Lucas shook Suwon's net with a header shot. Suwon, on the other hand, did not even have a significant opportunity and did not have a single shot. In addition, at the end of the first half, they had a super-strong shot to put Andersson and Luann in early, but it did not work, and Seo Jae-min had to spend the worst first half due to injury.

In the second half, the flow was similar, but the atmosphere changed rapidly with Seoul's fatal mistake. In the 8th minute of the second half, Jang Yun-ho succeeded in pressing while Kang Hyun-moo, who received the ball safely cleared by Yazan, took a moment to relax, and Andersson calmly cut Seoul's goal with a left-footed shot. After the balance of the match, Seoul's Jung Seung-won and Kim Jin-soo shot in turn, but failed to overcome Ahn Jun-su.

Rather, he was reeling from Suwon's counterattack led by Andersson, and he failed to score in the end, leading to a 1-1 draw.

'Failed to Win' FC Seoul, 2G's Successive Starting Banks Performance Is 'Positive'

Banks, who was selected by head coach Kim in the match against Suwon, succeeded in impressing by going around the stadium full-time, even though he did not score an offensive point. Against Choi Kyu-baek, Kim Tae-han and Lee Hyun-yong, who went down deep in Suwon, he showed no signs of losing ground in the aerial ball competition, and his connection with Jung Seung-won, Moon Sun-min, Lingard and Lucas also showed his clean skills.
In the third minute of the first half, Banks overcame the contest with Jang Yoon-hwa and quickly succeeded in a forward pass to raise his body, and then in the 21st minute of the first half, he dropped Lee Jae-won and connected the ball to Kim Jin-soo, who was rushing to the side, showing himself at the vanguard of offensive development. In addition, he showed an indirect effect of helping Lucas' free header by perfectly tying tall defender Choi Kyu-baek in the 42nd minute of the first half.

In the second half, he also provided shooting opportunities to his teammates through his connection with Jung Seung-won, actively participating in the defense, and succeeded in making a clear impression on his home fans. Although he did not score goals and help, Banks showed impressive performance with three successful aerial competitions, one successful tackle, and 83.3% success rate of passing the offensive side. 먹튀검증

"I'm not perfect yet. But I've improved a lot compared to the first time," Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said in an official press conference after the game. "I tried to change him when I won," he said. "The reason I took out Lingard was because I needed a goal, so I deployed him because I thought Young-wook had good decision power. There were no players to score a goal except for Banks. I expect him to get better in the future."

Seoul has failed to continue its winning streak at home and has only one point, but the performance of Banks, who has been starting for two consecutive games, has been encouraging.
