Kim Jin-soo, a full-back of the Korean national team who has rich experience and "winning DNA" at Jeonbuk Hyundai, is wearing FC Seoul's uniform. Although he is not 100 percent welcome by Seoul fans as he moved from Jeonbuk, it is clear that it is a necessary recruitment for FC Seoul, which has not won a championship since 2016. And Kim Jin-soo said he would become a player loved by Seoul fans through actions rather than words.
Kim Jin-su said this for the first time when he started an interview with "I can't imagine life." Kim, who has played in Jeonbuk for a long time and is accustomed to wearing "green" uniforms, felt awkward as he showed up in Seoul's red training uniform. However, it was different at the training site. As a veteran player, he approached younger players first and made jokes, sometimes giving them serious advice, and seemed like a player who played in Seoul for a long time.
Kim Jin-su said, "When I moved to Seoul for the first time, I only had four players I was close to. There is a difference in age with young players, but I talk a lot as my personality tends to approach them so much that I don't feel uncomfortable. During training, I played jokes and told them nice things. As time passed, I got some juniors who asked me first, and I'm getting used to it by talking to them."
An official from Seoul, who was watching the interview from the side, also hinted, "Kim Jin-soo is adapting well like a player who has played in Seoul for more than a few years," and head coach Kim Ki-dong also said, "The experience and leadership that Jin-soo has is very helpful to Seoul. He has a lot of left-footed kicks, and I think Jin-soo is still the best in the K-League. I believe he will give a good influence because he has won the championship."
Upon hearing the story, Kim Jin-su explained the reason for the transfer, saying, "The vision shown by Seoul had a big impact," and that what Seoul needs to win is 'winning DNA.' He said, "Winning should be a habit. What I felt in Jeonbuk is that in order to win the championship, there should be no losing streak. Even if you lose, the period should be short. Looking at the winning times, there is almost no losing streak. That way, you can fight with confidence, and you need to have the mindset that you can win even before you go to the stadium. You have to try to win at the training ground to develop such winning DNA."
-How does it feel to prepare for the season in a non-Jeonbuk team?
At first, it was very awkward, but as time passed, I got used to it. When I moved to Seoul for the first time, I only had four players I was close to. I came here and saw that there is a difference in age from young players, but my personality is so close that I talk a lot. During training, I played jokes and said good things to them. As time passed, I have some juniors who asked me first, and I am adapting by talking to them. (FFT: How is the atmosphere different between Jeonbuk and Seoul?) Of course, the players in Jeonbuk were also good and had a lot of sincere friends. I came to Seoul and saw young players, and there were so many sincere and good players. That's why I think the acceptance speed is really fast. I felt a lot that there was a reason for good performance last season.
-What made you decide to leave Jeonbuk and move to Seoul?
The first was a phone call with manager Kim Ki-dong. The vision shown by the club called Seoul had a great influence. In fact, while at Jeonbuk last season, there were many difficult situations. Jeonbuk's performance was not good, and I was also out due to injury many days. Since I had a lot of difficult times due to injuries and external problems, I didn't have time to think about the transfer, and I just wanted Jeonbuk to get out of the crisis quickly. It was a frustrating situation. I hurt my Achilles tendon, and I endured the pain and trained until the day before the game. It came to an unbearable moment. As the injury period was longer than I thought, I was frustrated that I couldn't help the team.
-How are you feeling?
Even now, I am not 100% in condition, but I am not injured. I think it will come up over time. Training itself is so difficult, so it is not easy to train separately, but I am working hard. As I lost body fat, my physical condition is definitely improving. 스포츠토토 It's been a long time since I trained like this. I met Kim Ki-dong as a coach in the national team by age, and now I think it's better. Lee Seung-mo has been with the coach since he was young in Pohang, so he has been telling me a lot of good things. It's really hard, but I'm working hard because I know that this physical fitness program helps me the more I play the season.
