Manager Kim Sang-sik declares “K-League 5th straight, FA Cup 2nd straight, ACL win”

[시사종합신문 = 오승택 기자] Jeonbuk Hyundai, which enters 2021 under the system of manager Kim Sang-sik, expressed its determination to win all competitions this season.

Media Day was held ahead of the opening of Hana One Q K League 1 2021. The schedule of the 2021 season begins with the confrontation between Jeonbuk Hyundai and FC Seoul on the 27th. Media Day was held in the form of an online video conference at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Defending champion Jeonbuk showed a strong desire to win at the first official event that marks the opening of the season. Coach Sang-sik Kim expressed his ambition that “the goal is to lose 5 in the K League, 2 in the FA Cup, and win the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League (ACL).”

Hong Jung-ho, who led the players as captain this season, also joined the will of coach Kim Sang-sik. Hong Jung-ho said, “I have the same idea as the director,” and said that the goal is to win three crowns in the 2021 season. He added, “I will repay the fans’ love with good performance.”

The key point for collecting trophies in Jeonbuk is also attack. From the time he took office, Director Kim Sang-sik has promoted’chemical engineering (hot attack)’.

Director Kim Sang-sik said, “Jeonbuk put’Dak Gong’ ahead, but in recent years, we have been disappointed with our goal-making power. This year, you only need to score 2 goals per game. I will show offense football with gorgeous players.”

Gustavo, Ilyuchenko, and Kim Seung-dae are deployed in the Jeonbuk attack. He has the most brilliant offensive team in the K-League, but the breath of the three is important.

Director Kim Sang-sik said, “I’m looking for an answer for the combination of the three.”

Director Kim Sang-sik and Hong Jeong-ho made sure to win the opening game with Seoul. Director Kim said with his unique Nucksal, “I meet with Director Park Jin-seop, and since it’s my debut at home, I’d like you to do it gently.” Seoul coach Park Jin-seop was confronted with saying, “Because I am my debut, I cannot give up.”

Hong Jeong-ho also put a cover on Seoul captain Ki Sung-yong. Ki Sung-Yong announced a splendid pass by referring to’courier delivery’ on his SNS.

Hong Jung-ho said, “I was very happy when I said that I was coming to Korea last year. I was disappointed that I didn’t see a lot of play,” he said, “but I’m looking forward a lot, but in Jeonbuk, Ki Sung-yong’s courier delivery will not be possible.” Ki Sung-yong also showed off his mouth, saying, “I know you will reach it.”
