Jeju SK must reap the fruits of generational change this season. During the winter transfer market, the team said goodbye to veterans including Choi Young-joon (Suwon Samsung), Koo Ja-cheol (retired), and Lee Ju-yong (Incheon United). Young guns, who seized the opportunity instead, should take the lead in making a leap forward for the team this season.
During the training camp in Kagoshima, Japan, coach Kim Hak-beom pays attention to Seo Jin-soo (25) and Kim Ryun-seong (23). Those who have received high expectations through national teams of different ages have yet to display their potential on the professional stage. Seo and Kim met with Sports Dong-A on Sunday and said, "I will break the egg this season."
The reason why Kim pays attention to Seo Jin-soo and Kim Ryun-seong is that they both play left. Jeju, which does not have a clear owner in the right wing forward position, focused on the off-season attack on the left. Kim thinks that the success or failure of this season depends on the performances of left wing forward Seo Jin-soo and left fullback Kim Ryun-seong.
Seo Jin-soo, who is already in his seventh year as a pro player, said, "Now, I have to repay the trust of the team." He jumped to the starting lineup after debuting as a pro in the 2019 season, and seemed to be walking on a solid path, completing his mandatory military service at Gimcheon Sangmu in the 2022 season. However, he has yet to completely break his mark. He gained considerable opportunities in the 2023 season (five goals in 34 matches and two assists in 38 matches) and the 2024 season (three goals in 38 matches) but left disappointing results. "After I was discharged from the military, I felt pressure to say, 'I am not a young player anymore.' However, I will not make excuses for his slow growth," he said.
It is a great achievement that he has received hints of growth despite suffering from severe growth pains. "I learned how to take care of myself, how to play by position and how to take care of myself while playing in all the games last season," Seo said. "Based on this experience, I focused on dribbling and improving my positioning to make a play worthy of my left wing-forward position in this training session," Seo said. "I revealed my personal goals every season, but I will not talk much this season. I will show my performance ahead of others."
Kim Ryun-sung, who is in his fifth year as a pro, is also planning this season. He made his professional debut in the Pohang Steelers uniform in the 2021 season, but he spent a long time on the bench while going through Pohang, Sangmu, and Busan I-Park. Perhaps that's why he had a great experience as a starting player in Busan (10 games, 3 assists) in the second half of last season.
He is expected to face challenges until he becomes the starting member of the national team again in the new season. Jung Un (36) and Yoo In-soo (31) are also in good shape as they are no longer able to benefit from the mandatory U-22 player selection system. However, Kim is committed to turning crisis into opportunity. 스포츠토토 "I am better at playing and speed than competitors. I have improved a lot in defense and stability as I have competed with outstanding players such as Shin Kwang-hoon (Pohang Steelers) and Park Min-gyu (Consadore Sapporo). I have shown better performance when I continue to participate."
