First victory in Gwangju season with 1 goal and 1 help against Daegu… “Happy feeling after a long time”
Midfielder Kim Jong-woo (28), who left’Suwon’ for the first time and took on a new challenge, led Gwangju FC’s first victory in the season and shot a revival.
Kim Jong-woo took the lead in the team’s 4-1 big win by scoring one goal and one help, including the final goal, in the 3rd round of the K-League 1 away match against Daegu FC held at DGB Daegu Bank Park in Daegu on the 10th.
This is his first aid and first goal this season, who once played an active role as a mainstay of Suwon Samsung, but did not get many opportunities last year and chose to transfer.
The final goal of the reversal, taken with a right-footed mid-range shot in the first half extra time, was the scorer Kim Jong-woo scored in the league after about two years and four months after the match against Ulsan Hyundai on November 10, 2018 in the days of Suwon Samsung.
In the 36th minute of the second half, Lee Han-do scored a sharp corner kick that set the footing for the heading goal, which was his help recorded 1 year and 7 months after the match against Gangwon FC on August 17, 2019.
Kim Jong-woo, who was born in Suwon Samsung Youth Maetango, joined Suwon Samsung in 2015, was rented to K-League 2 Suwon FC that year and started his professional career.
He played more than 20 games from 2017 to 2019 and became a key player, but last year, he only played 3 games and lost his presence.
In the end, I decided to leave Suwon for the first time in my professional career while looking for a place to play, and after being middle schooled in Gwangju, where a new nest was established, I stood tall as the team’s first win of the season.
Gwangju, who was defeated by no score in the previous two games, scored four goals, including Kim Jong-woo’s final goal and Lee Han-do’s additional goal.
Kim Jong-woo, who met after the game, laughed and asked, “Is it so old?” when he heard that he had scored a long time since 2018.
He said, “I really didn’t know it was past that much.
Even the moment the goal was scored, I couldn’t feel it, but after the game was over, I felt a little touched.” He said, “I have received a lot of phone calls, and it’s been a long time since I feel happy.
“The last two years have been the most difficult time while playing soccer,” he said. He pointed out that the advice he heard from coach Joo Seung-jin and coach Kim Doo-hyun, who was coached in Suwon last year, was a stimulus.
Kim Jong-woo explained that he couldn’t play in the game and said,’You have good skills but lack of fighting spirit’,’Even if you kick your hind legs, you can foul and pull. You must change you to survive.’ Even in the midst of not being able to compete in the game, I steadily tried to make up for that, and I think it’s coming out right now,” he explained.
He added, “There was a part I learned while having a hard time, and when I moved, I made up my mind not to repeat those things,” he added. “I prepared a lot after losing rounds 1 and 2, and I feel good that the result follows.”
