Another prospect born in 2006 has stepped down.
Jeonbuk Hyundai of the K League 1 won 6-0 against the dynamic hub Cebu (Philippines) in the first Group H match of the 2024/25 Asian Football Confederation Champions League 2 (ACL2) at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila, Philippines, at 9 p.m. on the 19th (Korea time).
AFC made a drastic shake-up in competition for clubs this season. ACL2 is a competition that ranks second only to AFC Champions League elite. If you compare it to a European competition, it is equivalent to the Europa League under the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League.
Jeonbuk, which is in the same group with Cebu, Muangtong United (Thailand) and Celangor (Malaysia), had a landslide victory in its first match on the day. Attacking midfielder Jin Tae-ho, who had one goal and one assist, led the team.
After the match, Jin said, “I was nervous about my first appearance in the AFC Champions League, but I was glad that the goal was scored quickly. In the second half, I was a bit disappointed because I lost concentration due to physical difficulties. As a 20-year-old national team player, I played in an away game in Southeast Asia, and the weather adapted quickly. I was nervous ahead of the match, but Lee Jae-ik gave me good advice as I was told to do what I was doing because the more thoughts I had, the more complicated the play gets. That’s why I did it with the mindset of doing what I was doing.” 메이저사이트
Asked if there was any talk between the players who played as semi-professional players, he said, “I didn’t really talk about the game between high school players, but I went into the game and told Seo Jung-hyuk to be confident because we were leading the game. I’m glad that I showed my ability through this tournament and my goal is to make my K League 1 debut.”
This is Jin Tae-ho, who played for the under-17 national team with Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon FC) and Yoon Do-young (Daejeon Hana Citizen). Asked if he was anxious about the performances of players of the same age, he added, “Players of my age are showing good performances in the K League 1, but I am not anxious, but I am training thinking that I can do it. I think if I work hard according to my age, the opportunity will come someday.”
