Seoul E-Land of the K-League 2 laughed at the strong performance of foreign players. E-Land's confidence has risen to the full thanks to the "four foreigners" joining the team.
E-Land defeated Suwon Samsung, the "champion candidate," 4-2 in the third round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2025 home game held at Mokdong Stadium in Seoul on the 9th. E-Land, which had no loss in the opening three games (2 wins and 1 draw), took the lead in the league.
Due to his departure from E-Land ahead of the 2025 season, Pedringyo (Brazil) and E-Dale (Australia) scored, leading the team to win the match against Suwon. It is encouraging that all four players, including Ewler (Brazil), who are new foreign players, scored their K-League debut goals within three games.
After winning the match against Suwon, E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun expressed satisfaction, saying, "I'll tell you from the first game of the season, but the foreign players' performance is good." E-Land experienced the promotion and playoffs (PO) for the first time since its foundation last year with its strong offense, but there was a regret over the performance of foreign players who fell short of expectations.
For this reason, the team has significantly replaced foreign players ahead of this season. With the exception of Osmar, who is the core of defense line, all four cards of foreign players have been allocated to the strikers. So far, the team has been successful.
"We know how important foreign players are. We always try to stay together when we train and when we are outside," said Lee, who was playing for Daegu FC last season. "We are studying how each other plays."
Coincidentally, E-Land's next opponent is Incheon United, another "champion candidate." E-Land will have a showdown with Incheon at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the Incheon Football Stadium. Incheon also has strong attack lines that lead to Gerso-Mugosa-Barrow. It is evaluated as the best strikers in the second division.
"Foreign players from Incheon have a lot of experience in the K-League," Lee said. "However, I don't think our players are lagging behind in quality and play. I am confident about the match against Incheon."
"I think Incheon is a tricky opponent," Pedringyo said, adding, "As much as the strikers, we have great pride in our defenders. I think we can stop them. Our strikers are sharp enough." 메이저놀이터
Pedringyo, who is small in size measuring 1 meter 67 centimeters, said, "(The K-League) is physically strong and rough. However, it is actually good for players like me. When the opponent team is rough, I can dribble to avoid it. I can demonstrate my strengths."
