[스포츠니어스ㅣ수원=명재영 기자] A fan who practiced 108 times for the team appeared.
Suwon Samsung played the last Suwon derby of the season once morest Suwon FC in the 37th round of Hana One Q K League 1 2022 at the Suwon World Cup Stadium (Big Bird) on the 16th. On this day, Suwon Samsung defeated Suwon FC 3-0 with goals from Lee Jong-seong in the 25th minute, Oh Hyun-gyu in the 4th minute, and Ahn Byung-jun in the second half.
Before the game, Suwon Samsung’s mood was the worst. After losing to Daegu FC in the last round, the promotion to the playoffs became more likely. This is the first relegation fight since the club was founded in 1995. Since the mid-2010s, he has been at the bottom of the list many times, but he has never experienced such a direct fear of relegation.
The pride of both the team and the fans was hurt. It is also a reality that not a few fans left Big Bird. Still, Suwon Samsung was still Suwon Samsung. On this day, 9,227 spectators visited Big Bird, creating a hot stadium atmosphere.
Who will be the first to arrive at Big Bird among these 9,000 spectators? Maybe it’s Ahn Dae-geun (25 years old). Ahn arrived around 7 am that day. He arrived 7 hours earlier when the game started at 2 pm.
Ahn didn’t even come early because he lived near Big Bird. Ahn, who lives in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, spent time alone by taking subway Line 1 and the first city bus to Big Bird. in game <스포츠니어스>Ahn, who met with me, explained, “The situation of the team is very bad these days, and I came early to think regarding this and that, and I was protecting Big Bird.”
In fact, on this day, Ahn had a real goal other than watching the game. That’s 108 times. One of the Buddhist temple methods, 108-fold, is famous among the general public for the purpose of cultivating earnestness and spirit. Ahn, who arrived at Big Bird early, started the 108 boat on the west side of Big Bird, where his club office is located at 11 am.
Mr. Ahn did all his devotion to me once and for all. He hoped that the Suwon Samsung, whom he supported, would no longer experience difficult situations and be filled with only good things. Ahn said, “I’ve been cheering for the team since 2008, when I last won the league, and I don’t think there has been a situation as difficult as this year.” “I wanted to do anything for the team. So I decided to do 108 times.”
Ahn continued, saying that this is not the first time 108 times. Ahn said, “I started 108 times for Suwon Samsung for the first time just before the Super Match last September.” “After that, today is the second.” Does sincerity come through? In the two matches Ahn played 108 times, Suwon scored all three goals and won a great victory.
The energy of 108 times did not end in victory. In this match played 108 times by Ahn, who said that he particularly liked Oh Hyun-gyu and Ahn Byung-jun, the two players shot goals side by side. How long will 108 times the victory last? Ahn said, “I don’t have anything set aside, I just do it unconditionally for Suwon Samsung.” He said, “If the team can do well, we can do anything, 200 times or 1,000 times.”
Ahn concluded the interview by saying that he had a message he wanted to convey to the team. “I think it will be difficult for everyone. But there are so many people cheering for me, so I hope you never give up. If it collapses here, it will not be Suwon Samsung. Please do your best until the end to end the season with a smile with our fans. I will do anything.”
