Foreigners are no exception. It is the spirit of our team rather than the individual.”슬롯사이트
Gimpo FC entered the professional stage last season as the youngest member of the K League 2. Finishing 8th, I had a good season.
The 2023 season, which is in its second year, looks a little higher. Coach Go Jeong-woon, who held a press conference at the 2023 K-League Winter Field Training Media Camp held in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do on the 16th, said, “If you show performance comparable to last year, I think you can go to the playoffs and part 1.”
We recruited 3 foreign players this season. These include Pablo Gonzalez and Luis Mina. Director Ko expressed his anticipation. “We are asking them to be aggressive. We are also communicating why we chose a foreigner,” he said, emphasizing the team rather than the individual.
Coach Koh said, “We are a team that needs to move systematically, not with individual abilities. There is no doubt in the attack of foreigners, but there is chaos in the defense, such as quick transitions and positioning,” he said. “However, there is no best in our team. Outsiders can never survive in a team if they cannot defend themselves. We need to move a lot as a team, not individually, and become one. The moment an individual bounces, it collapses. Foreigners are no exception. It is the spirit of our team.”
The squad has become very young. Coach Koh said, “Last year, a third of the players and about 20 were reinforced. Especially this year, we are preparing by bringing in foreign players. After the field training, the focus is on organizational skills and communication with foreigners.”
Based on the experience of last season, we want to move forward. Coach Koh said, “Last year, most of the players had no experience in the professional league. More than half of them are from K3. The experience of one season has become a great medicine for the players. Watching winter training and practice matches, I feel that I have grown.”
He talked about the importance of the atmosphere at the beginning of the season. Last season, Gimpo beat Gwangju FC and Jeonnam Dragons in a row and ran a sensational two-game winning streak. It was a flow that even director Goh had not expected. He said, “The victories in the first two games were the driving force that pushed the season well to the end. The first three or four games are important,” he stressed. kkang@sportsseoul.com
