Lee Tal-ro, who shone as the main character of Jeju United’s victory, gave a thumbs-up to Gallego, his “same-age hometown friend.”
Jeju won 2-1 thanks to Gallego’s debut goal and Italy’s fantastic winning goal in the 34th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 away match between Incheon United and Hana Bank at 4:30 p.m. on the 19th at Incheon Football Stadium.
Jeju, which had successfully completed the first step of the Final B, maintained its eighth position by widening the gap between the relegation zone and the relegation zone to six points. It is not easy to feel safe, but it has relieved some of the psychological burden. This is largely due to Gallego, who scored the most important goal of the season, and Lee Jeol-ro, who broke the tight balance.
In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that Lee had reserved the goal of the month in the K League 1 in October. Lee had penetrated the opponent team’s defense in the 43rd minute of the second half, and got a one-touch pass from Kim Joo-gong to cut into the net with a sharp left-footed shot. The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal. It was a powerful shot that the goalkeeper could hardly respond to.
“Given the situation in Incheon, I expected the team to come out strong, and I felt it would be a tough game. We also came to Incheon with full preparation during the A-match break. I think the efforts have come to fruition because the experienced players led the team well and we have prepared well for the game,” Lee said in a press conference. “Long-distance away games are certainly not easy. It is true that it is very difficult. However, as I said, veteran players are creating a good atmosphere, and we were able to immediately share difficult parts with each other and relieve a lot of worries.”
When asked to recall the scoring scene, he said, “I am a volanche but I am an aggressive player. I naturally made moves to the box. When I touched the goal after controlling the ball, I had to shoot with my left foot. As you know, I am a right-footed player, but I have practiced with my left foot in my spare time, and I think the result was revealed by the score.” 토토사이트
Gallego and Talo, who scored the first goal, are from the same hometown and were born in 1997. As both players are from Brazil, they are close to each other whenever they have a hard time. They are not just foreign players. Jeju Island has a reputation as a one team where everyone, regardless of age and nationality, united as one. I had to ask how they congratulated Gallego for scoring the first goal of the season.
“First of all, Gallego worked hard when he first joined the team, and quickly adapted to it. As I got along well with Korean players, I was able to achieve good teamwork,” he said. “However, as he did not score a goal, he must have been under stress himself. As he saw Gallego running after taking away the ball at the time of the first goal, he prayed on the bench. Fortunately, he scored a goal, and I think he let go of his worries and pressure. I think he will have time to celebrate his debut goal with his family.”
