Choi Moon-sik, manager of Ansan Greeners, declared that his team would not back down in its away match against SuwonFC, vowing to engage head-on with their signature attacking style of football.

Ansan Greeners will face SuwonFC, who are competing for promotion and currently sit third, in the 31st round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2026 season at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 1st.

Ansan is languishing in the lower half of the table in 15th place with a record of seven wins, four draws, and 18 losses (25 points). However, the team possesses explosive power, capable of scoring consecutive goals once they break through. They secured a 4-0 victory in their away match against YonginFC in the 29th round, and in September, they defeated the formidable Busan IPark 1-0, effectively fulfilling their role as a dark horse.

Nevertheless, the team has shown significant inconsistency, recording two wins, two draws, and seven losses in their last 11 matches. Their momentum was somewhat dented by a 1-3 defeat in their most recent game against Cheonan City.

In a pre-match interview, Manager Choi stated, "We are striving to show good performance and achieve positive results every time." He added, "The fact that we are near the end of the season does not change anything. We will do our best until the very end to put on a good match."

He clearly expressed his intention to maintain an attacking color even against top-tier teams in the league. Manager Choi said, "Whether it is SuwonFC or any other team, we cannot win without attacking. It is a battle of how finely we can endure during the attacking process," previewing a strategy of matching their opponent's intensity.

He also expressed regret over defensive concentration issues that led to painful goals conceded despite good overall play. Manager Choi diagnosed, "Even when we play well, if the results are not positive, the atmosphere becomes heavy." He continued, "Because we have been conceding easy goals every time, we have failed to translate good match content into results. We need to move as an organized unit, but the connection in the middle broke down, leading to mistakes. This was compounded by physical fatigue and coordination issues with substitute players who came on."

He further emphasized scoring power and decisiveness at crucial moments. Manager Choi stressed, "To achieve results, we ultimately need goals. Ansan is a team that must score two or three goals, not just one or two, to withstand the risk of conceding." He added, "If we cannot make decisive finishes from scoring opportunities, the burden on our defense becomes too great. There have been many matches where we took the lead but were overturned. We need to deliver certain finishes when opportunities arise."

Against SuwonFC, Ansan will field a front three of Lima, Macop, and Marlon, with Jang Hyun-soo, Kim Jung-hyun, Park Gyu-min, and Lim Ji-min in midfield. Yeon Woong-bin, Cho Ji-hoon, and Hatszel will form the back three, while Lee Seung-bin will wear the goalkeeper's gloves.
