“I’ll defend Lewis.”
At 4:30 p.m. on the 2nd, the match between Cheonan City FC (hereinafter referred to as Cheonan City) and Busan I’Park (hereinafter referred to as Busan) kicked off in the 38th round of Hana Bank K League 2024 at Cheonan Stadium. The result of the game was 3-2 and the away team Busan won. Busan defeated Cheonan, which scored multiple goals in the 13th minute and the 3rd minute of the second half, with Mlapa in the 5th minute and Pesin’s consecutive goals in the 22nd minute and the 13th minute of the first half.
Cheonan lost, but Mota stood out. Mota shot multiple goals against Busan, expressing Cheonan’s resistance to the end. Mota has already scored his 16th goal in the league, becoming the lone top scorer. As most teams have had one or two games, it seems highly likely that Mota will become the top scorer. After the game, we could hear Mota’s story at the mixed zone.
First of all, Mota said, “It was a tough match. It was also an important match. Unfortunately, I will focus on the upcoming match against Gimpo FC.”
Mota also expressed his opinion on the top scorer. “I’m always looking forward to it. My teammates are supporting me,” Mota said, expressing his greed. 메이저놀이터
Cheonan’s coach Kim Tae-wan even joked to his rival, Kimpo’s Lewis, that he would never score a goal. Coincidentally, Cheonan will play Gimpo in the final match of this season. “It is true that Lewis is my rival. I will focus on my defense in the next game. I will not let him score a goal by being one-on-one,” Mota joked.
Mota then said, “I am personally constantly preparing myself. I have a physical coach in Brazil, so I am training through video calls. My physical coach also helps me a lot. While playing in Korea, I feel that I am constantly being upgraded. I want to stay in Korea for a long time,” adding that he likes how he is growing up in Korea.
Finally, Mota said, “According to the contract, we have to be with Cheonan until the end of next year. So far, there is no clear offer from other teams. There may be interest. If there is a chance, I will think about it.”
