Kim Jung-hyun, a strong housekeeper of FC Anyang and a mental coach of his colleagues, did not hide his ambition to win the MVP award.
Anyang, led by head coach Yoo Byung-hoon, drew 2-2 with Gyeongnam in the 39th round of Hana Bank K League 2 2024 against Gyeongnam FC at 2 p.m. on the 9th at Anyang Sports Complex. Anyang, which was led by Chae Hyun-woo’s goal in the 22nd minute of the first half, lost to Do Dong-hyun in the 29th minute. Anyang, which was led again by Moon Sung-woo’s goal in the 14th minute of the second half, ended the season with a loss and a draw in the 35th minute of the second half.
Anyang, which confirmed its victory in the last round, held a victory ceremony in its last home game of the season. The team, wearing a winning T-shirt and hat, celebrated the joy of winning by spraying champagne.
After the game, Kim said, “Now I realize that I played at home. I look forward to next year.” “The most difficult moment was when I lost three consecutive games,” he said, confessing to the crisis.
With many predicting that Kim will win the K League 2 MVP award, Kim said, “Lordry won the Ballon d’Or, right?” and added, “It’s the flow of modern soccer. Rodry!” by referring to Rodry (Manchester City) who is in the same position. He said, “I’m not too greedy, and it would be better if I get a teammate.” 먹튀검증
“I really, really, really cut my bones this year. I really burned my whole body, really,” he said, looking back on the tough 2024 season. “There are colleagues who played with me, but I think the hardest thing was the players behind me who honestly couldn’t come to the game. Those players are the hidden MVPs. They worked hard. Players are stressed out in their own way, but those who did not play in their games are more stressed out about their future, so I remember sacrificing more for them.” He said he felt sorry and grateful to teammates who sacrificed for his team.
Yago, a Brazilian foreigner of Anyang who joined the team this year, was unintentionally given the nickname “Yaji” from “Geumjari.” In the summer transfer market, he failed to transfer to the K League 1 team, and in the process of returning to the team, coach Yoo and the players suffered, not pain. Personally, Yago had to have a hard time, overlapping with unfortunate family affairs such as his mother’s image.
It was Kim Jung-hyun who served as a mental coach for Yajik. He was nicknamed “Dr. Kim Eun-young,” which was named after Dr. Oh Eun-young, a child expert.
