Chungcheongnam-do Asan striker Juningyo, who dominated the K League 2 in the 2024 season, will make his name known through the promotion and playoffs.
Juningyo has displayed the best performance in the K League 2 this season. He played in all 36 matches, scoring 12 goals and eight assists. He ranked second in attack points after Cheonan City FC Mota (16 goals and five assists). He was named the best 11 times in the round nine times. He was named the most along with Valdivia (Jeonnam Dragons). While his individual performance was stellar, his team performance was good enough that Asan, South Chungcheong Province, was the runner-up, which is second best in the team.
Juningyo is an all-round offensive resource with fast speed, fancy dribbling, and delicate play near the penalty box. He often leads offensives by running on the sides.
Having conquered the second division, Juninho can also play in the first division. “I believe Juninho can play in the first division no matter what,” the incumbent K-League 1 coach said, praising Juninho, adding, “If our team can recruit him, there is no reason to refuse to recruit him.” In recent K-League cases, most strikers who have displayed overwhelming prowess in the second division are also powerful in the first division. Most officials predict that Juninho is no different.
In fact, Juninho is reportedly attracting attention from multiple K League 1 clubs. FC Seoul, Pohang Steelers, and Gangwon FC are taking actions behind the scenes to recruit Juninho. “His future has not been decided yet, but it seems clear that he is the most promising player to move this winter,” said a source in the transfer market who is well aware of the situation in Asan, South Chungcheong Province.
Juningyo has gained an opportunity to demonstrate his capability through the promotion and playoffs. Asan in South Chungcheong Province will play the promotion and playoff against Daegu FC, which ranks 11th in the K League 1. It will have the first match at home on Friday, and the second match at an away match on December 1. It will be a kind of a “showcase” for Juningyo. If Juningyo reproduces his performance in the K League 2 against Daegu, its stock price will likely soar further. 안전놀이터
The possibility of promotion to Asan in South Chungcheong Province is also expected to change depending on Juningyo’s performance. Asan in South Chungcheong Province, which was a weak player, showed off its amazing performance by ranking second with Juningyo. It is no different in the promotion and playoffs. It is more important than ever for Juningyo individually and Asan in South Chungcheong Province.
