[스포츠니어스 | 성남=홍인택 기자] FC Seoul’s 03-year-old Kang Seong-jin makes his professional debut against Seongnam FC.
FC Seoul’s coach Park Jin-seop showed an amazing starting list before the match against HanawonQ K League 1 2021 Seongnam FC, which will be held at Tancheon Sports Complex on the 10th. Because the game is held consecutively on weekends and weekdays, the rotation was expected to some extent, but Kang Sung-jin, who is still under 20 years old, was chosen as the starter.
When the story of Kang Sung-jin’s selection came out, manager Park Jin-seop laughed, saying, “We have a lot of surprise players.” Manager Park continued, “I am a player with sufficient ability. During training, he has proved his abilities. If you show your basic skills, you will have a good game.”
Some choose a strategy for using the’five replacement cards’ as the reason U-22 players start. Some players are often replaced early on the bench without filling in the first half. However, manager Park Jin-seop dismissed, saying, “The circumstances of the team will be different from each other.”
Manager Park Jin-seop said, “Even in Ulsan or Pohang, U-22 players who have good ability continue to play. “There is no reason to get rid of good players quickly,” he said. “There is no need to deliberately use anomalies. How much you show is important. I will make you run as much as you showed.”
On this day, there were big and small changes in the Seoul selection list. Kang Sung-jin came in the attacking team, and Han Chan-hee came in instead of Osmar in Jungwon. In the defense, Kim Jin-ya was in sync with the players. Coach Park said, “I thought it was better for players in good shape to play rather than rotation. These players will also be able to play their part.”
However, Park Joo-young will be the forefront striker in this Seongnam FC match following the last match against Jeonbuk Hyundai and Suwon FC. The eyes of concern also gathered about Park Joo-young’s stamina, running in succession. Director Park also said, “I was worried about that, too,” but then, “I said that I was okay in terms of physical strength. If the pace drops after continuing to use as a starter, other methods are being devised. You can add other players and change your tactics.”
