Reporter Han Jae-hyeon = Pohang Steelers sent their captain and tactical nucleus Shin Jin-ho to Incheon United this winter, but they are trying to erase the void by bringing in Kim Jong-woo, the midfield commander of Gwangju FC.
Pohang has been holding its second winter field training in Seogwipo, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province since the 1st. If you improved your stamina and physical condition in the first field training held in Hanoi, Vietnam last January, you are focusing on maximizing organizational power in this Jeju field training.
In preparing for this season, Shin Jin-ho’s trip to Incheon is like lightning. Shin Jin-ho chose to go to Incheon when negotiations broke down due to a difference of opinion with the club in January. Pohang, which prepared for the season centered on Shin Jin-ho, had a lot of bad news.
Pohang moved quickly, and coach Kim Ki-dong brought in Kim Jong-woo, whom he had been keeping an eye on. Coach Kim Ki-dong also said, “He is a technically good player. He’s good at solving the game. If Jin-ho spreads it widely, Jong-woo will provide a link in a small space. There are players such as Park Seung-woo and Shin Kwang-hoon who will cover the defense. I thought it would create good synergy.” 카지노사이트
Kim Jong-woo attended the 2023 K-League Winter Field Training Media Camp held at the KAL Hotel in Seogwipo, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province on the afternoon of the 7th.
He said, “It is very different from soccer played in Gwangju. I think about it while watching Pohang games. It is football that I like in a big frame. If the coach trusts me, there are many things I can do well,” he said, trying to adapt to the team.
At the same time as Kim Jong-woo was recruited, he is receiving a lot of attention as a replacement for Shin Jin-ho. His uniform number also inherited Shin Jin-ho’s number 6.
He said, “At first, I ran 10 times. It was full because I came late. The remaining number is 6. I didn’t know the meaning of number 6, but it was the director’s and Jinho’s number. The director also recommended number 6. It also has an important meaning,” he said, pleased with the new number.
Shin Jin-ho’s shadow is also a burden to Kim Jong-woo. It is also homework for Kim Jong-woo to get rid of the burden. He said, “When the article first came out, Shin Jin-ho’s replacement was burdensome. It is my role to erase. I also have the confidence to do better than Jinho hyung. The burden is less,” he expressed his confidence.
